I was looking into extreme couponing after watching this show and i found I even come close to saving what these people saved (even with a store in our area that doubles coupons) and then i found out why by googling and coming across a couple of sites. One of them is commiting coupon fraud, another one is stealing newspapers, and yet another one is diving into privately owned dumpsters (dumpster diving) which in some places is against the law. These women should be ashamed of themselves for commiting crimes all in order to "get one over" the store and manufacturers. Yes I understand it would be nice to be able to save like that , but after looking into it, its all a big scam realistically unless you are scamming the store or the manufacturer by scanning the wrong coupons, stacking manufacturers coupons or committing some sort of coupon fraud you can not "extreme coupon" I think all of the women/men should be charged with coupon fraud and all of their stockpiles should be given to charities or disaster relief funds.

These people should be ashamed of themselves. They have more than enough. One person even had a stockpile of cat food that she was extrememely proud of and SHE DOESN'T EVEN OWN A CAT! To these people on this show... I ask you, please think of the devastation that has occurred this week. Think the of the families that were so terribly affected by the tornadoes this week. With all that you have been blessed with, use this opportunity to do something wonderful for those in need. You can always "rebuild" your stockpile...these people may never have a chance to even start one.

my problem is the episode i watched tonight. they started off with a piece of two ppl pulling up to the end of someone's driveway. then the passenger got out and took the sunday newspaper right out of someone's driveway. forclosed or not! she really needs to get with the newspaper company, let them know and they will be thankful. i agree with using coupons but was that not theft? also, how do you know the house is unoccupied and they are not on vacation? that person calls in saying they missed their newspaper, i have seen it cost a carrier up to $10 for that $1-2 paper. that's not including the time and cost it may take to carry the customer a new paper. may not be anything to you, but how would you like to do your job and then i'm gonna steal ten dollars right out of your hand? yeah, i didn't think so. oh and don't forget, you will drive all the way back to work and re-do your job! also, stephanie needs to check the law about a newspaper that doesn't belong to her. it's costly and i have seen a circulation director take a person to court over stolen papers.

far as a suggestion for extra coupons, ask the ppl at the newspaper places, they don't mind (most of the time) if you want to get in their recycling bins.....30 minutes LEGALLY and another 1000 dollars in coupons.

also, ppl at schools and some companies will take a bin and set it aside and toss their unwanted coupons in it. you're helping them with recycling. and another thing for brownie points, make a deal with them. you send them in some goods every so often. snacks(elementary school), hygeine products (especially feminine), packs of pens, and my list could keep going. i guarantee you start teaming up and helping them, they will help you. i imagine most would be pulling coupons out of their home papers.

just please think about it. you wanna make a difference? this could help.

Understanding the useage from coupons;is same what puzzling by adding up all the cost of (goc}lot of time and saving but all the things that the person buys;the shelf;;over fozen(unuse).To I thats an great idea?if only the person that may understand 4 times a week from shopping.It an good ieda if they would show persons the start couponing;showing the inwalfare offices;How to use it from them they may help the needed,but one that looks it over air is an look timely;but short cuts maybe easy to look at the story that may help people to learn; of all ages' hope your goodness that unstand.pass it on oldfolks and those that will benfit in life;

I can see saving all that money with coupons, but why not get groceries and gas for free? http://www.igetminefree.com/getitfree2

...and I have no idea how my post came up three times! :)

If one looked carefully at this show, you will see a lot wrong with this picture. One woman is using coupons for products they are not intended for (committing fraud); i.e. $5.00 off Olay Regenerist but using the coupon on a cheaper different brand of Olay. Receipts showing an amount less than what the tax should have come out to. A husband and wife who claim to shop like this normally but don't seem to realize that the store's registers max out at a certain amount of coupons. They would have known that if they really did shop like that. Stockrooms showing products like large packages of Charmin, Tide, etc., that are hard to come buy cheaply with sales and coupons let alone free. Yet, they don't tell you how much they paid for those products. Shelves fully stocked no matter how much product they need. As an extreme couponer, I find there are always going to be some items that are bare on the shelf or out completely. One man dumping baskets of products into his basket without counting out the items to make sure he has the right amount for the amount of coupons he has. Having piles of coupon books that exceed anything I could ever pull out of the recycling center. There doesn't seem to be any store coupon policy for the show although most stores have them; i.e. limit of 4 of a kind of each coupon per order. Most stores have coupon policies. Rarely are there coupons for such things as meat and product. You usually have to pay sale price for those. I can go on and on with what I see in this show that doesn't make any sense. Bottom line, my two cents, I believe there is staging and manipulation being done to produce the outcome to get their ratings. This is not real extreme couponing. At least, that done honestly.
