EXTREME COUPONING follows along as savvy shoppers plan and plot their way to unbelievable savings. The series premieres Wednesday, April 6 with two episodes at 9 & 9:30 PM ET/PT, and will move to the 9:30 PM time slot the following week.
2.1 million viewers tuned in for the premiere EXTREME COUPONING, which aired as a one-hour special on December 29, 2010. Now, each of the series’ 12 half-hour episodes introduces viewers to America’s most extreme “super couponers,” sharing why they are so driven by the deals.
Now, I did find this interesting because I just couldn't believe how one shopper that this show aired around had a grocery bill totalling in the $5,000's and only spent like $250 just to give an example, these aren't the exact numbers but WOW!!!! Anyhow, by the end of the show, I got kind of mad because the last guy that had the bill totalling in the $5,000's, cleared the shelves instead of being modest and saving some items for other's. So is this why we sometimes go into grocery stores and simply can not find what we want and or need?? Is it because some people feel that just because they have coupons and the know how to use them that they get to dump an entire bucket of toothbrushes,deodorant and an entire shelf full of Ragu spaghetti sauce with pasta into a cart or 10 and Uhaul it home just to stick it in their 2 car garage and repeat the same process each and every month?? No matter how many times you move the older items and the newer items to the front, there's still an expiration date on EVERYTHING... Most items expire in a month so now what??? One couple had bedrooms filled with items looking like mini-Costco which was zany.. It was the wife actually and the husband was just the tag-a-long.. She even started to fill his "Man Cave" and that in turn will eventually cause resentment so therefore, maybe she should just build an addition to her home with all of the money she's saving from her EXTREME COUPONING..... There was this 27 year old wife and mother that went dumpster diving with her son and her pregnant friend in search of coupons that people had recycled.. Her story made sense because when her husband had lost his job, they were able to live off of the items that she got for nearly free using her coupons. I guess there's a silver lining after all.. I am in not saying that this is a bad idea because I do plan on using this method someday but I do not plan on buying over 1,000 boxes of cereal just because I can... I will buy what I need and save some for the next family of four so that they don't have to ask the stock person to check the back of the store for Cap n Crunch cereal because the shelves have cobwebs, and the stock person has to do the walk of shame back to the shopper with the bad news..... SORRY, WE'RE ALL OUT!!!!!
