@@sweetdaydreamer8868 I think it's a lot more complex and detailed than just the regular checking someone through, plus from what I've seen it can take hours. I do feel for the cashiers and the people in the queue behind the couponers.
@@Steelee3 we have to verify everything and read everything. If coupon policy says no overage, that means hunting down everything and doing a price inquiry on everything and inputting the amount that comes up. Even worse when it's a limit item because then that's even more fun lol.
My family knew a lady down the street who was an extreme couponer, and she opened her home to allow a lot of the low income families to get food, toiletries, snacks, and drinks, etc. It really helped us so my parents could pay bills and not have to get as many groceries bc it was always in stock thanks to this sweet lady.
I feel the most sympathy for anyone in line behind her. "Sorry I won't make it back for dinner this week. I'll be in line at the grocery store for the next four and a half days"
I was once in the checkout queue behind a woman who produced a thick wodge of coupons - the cashier had to check each one and most of them were out of date. It took forever!
Honestly I would love to see someone that does this and donates a large portion to those who need it. It's work but she got 1,000 worth of stuff for 20ish bucks!
I coupon .... almost extreme..... and yes ..... I donate LOTS..... I put a lot of hours into it but how do you say no to free when there’s so many in need ?
Yea 150 deodorants will expire before she can use them up so why not donate.. if not, i think it's better to invest that time into earning money which we can use to buy anything we want instead of hoarding the same type of products
Yeah, this is nearly impossible in the U.S. now because of people like her. My grandmother used to get a few free items each week from "rebates" but now most companies don't even do that anymore.
I really enjoy it when the person donates their haul of enormous amounts of items that a person cannot use within the expiration date. That's heartwarming
The thing is, she doesn‘t save as much money as she thinks she is. It’s a lot of stuff she wouldn’t normally buy, and just does because she has a coupon for it, that is then rotting in her pantry. I think it’s a mental thing more than anything else at this point.
Same thought. Isn't it like an obsessive or hoarding personality disorder of some sort. I like to have a few extra items in the house but not to this level.
20 boxes of toothpaste 28 boxes of tissues 45 boxes of cake and cookie mix 59 packages of candy 96 bottled beverages Sounds like some great and healthy meals.
Well, she is overweight & does not look like she gets much exercise - if she eats the stuff she gets free with coupons, it is usually processed, unhealthy food.
The 160 candy and coyote beverages are probably only like 1$-$2 each. Toothpaste is only like $2-$3 each also. So like where is the $1000 coming from? Makes no sense.
she worked for 60 hrs for about $1057... that's less than $18/hr and she's not even paid in $$$, she's paid in sugar, processed food and chemicals. I hope she has medical insurance.
I know, not to mention that she's holding up the line. I've seen people like her and I saw one woman who had so many coupons that it's overloaded the system and they threw her out.
I don´t know how much rent she pays... Where I live a spare bedroom would cost 300-600€ per month (!)... If it would cost me 450€, I would have to calculate another 100€/week only for the storage space of all that stuff... Then the car-driving and the time she is missing out with her kid(s) :( I would rather live paycheck to paycheck than neglecting my child over couponing...
Let’s say spend 300$ week on groceries and would could invest the remaining 700$. That’s 33000 a year that she could invest. Let’s say her her investment are at 4%…
Heavy on the Walgreens part I will say we had one really amazing coupon lady that was so sweet and never got upset when a coupon didn't work and would end up giving workers on the shift at the time products from her coupon haul
yess I worked at Walgreens too, their coupons are insane though! Did you know they lose money on the grocery items? They only make money from the pharmacy.
In America, a job at 60 hours per week will not necessarily pay her more. And she’ll have less freedom and likely report to someone who treats her poorly. Who knows.
@@sarahhartman5723 people have run the numbers - she's actually saving more $ doing this then she would working 60 hours min wage for sure. Gets to be her own boss and do what she enjoys. Leave her alone lol she isn't hurting anyone. Most spouses would LOVE their partner only spending $20/week on both their hobby and groceries, while also being home with the kiddo.
She does realize that even things that aren’t food do expire, right? She should definitely donate some of those items to homeless shelters before they expire.
@@Emma-yg2uf I understand that, but she has a large supply of items that more than likely wont be used before they expire. Of course, she can keep them away until they do expire. She bought them, that's her choice. Or... she could also use her talents to help those less fortunate. I just think its wasteful to buy all that and not use it.
Most places don’t take all this coupons anymore and a lot of people like her just turned around and sell everything full price and make money out of it, like my sister in law.
@@Marly123 it is scamming She has a full store With all the stuff she buys with coupons She is on desability and not Claiming this income So yes it’s Scaming!!!!

It’s coupon hoarders like this that has destroyed couponing for the average shopper. Coupons now expire in under a month & you have to buy multiples. Another example of greed ruining things.
@@temple69 we’re not talking about “billionaires”🙄I’m saying ordinary families having several printers, printing off coupons, dumpster diving, purchasing “hundreds” of items. I mean how many candy bars, sugary drinks & boxes of pasta does 1 family need? A lot of these people don’t even donate any of it. They just like the aesthetic & flex of having a grocery store in their basement. This is MY opinion.😏Greedy!!
Why do coupons exist? It doesn't make sense to just give away free stuff, unless its charity. But then it should be ensured it goes to those who actually need it and not just random people who come over it
@@zakosist There’s a lady in my town who got so addicted to couponing that her husband made her stop buying stuff. So instead, she kept doing it and now she just gives all the stuff to food pantries/homeless shelters in our county. She gets her fix and it helps people in the process.
Has anybody noticed the food she saved money on is either processed or ultra-processed? They simply don't make coupons for fruits, vegetables, dried lentils, or dried legumes. Also, correlate that knowledge with the fact that she looks much older than a 24-year-old woman.
I was just thinking much the same. I wouldn't eat anything she bought and I'm 60 and healthy. She's going to pay for that addiction with her health, sadly, like all addictions.
I wonder if she knows that she can donate a portion of her savings to charity. A thousand dollars of grocery items for only $21.00. Not too mention her stockpile of grocery's.
I used to look at coupons till I realized they were always for over-priced, overly-processed items. I never saw coupons for meat, vegetables, butter or flour. So she found a coupon for gelatin. What use is gelatin, really?
That’s so true wow I just noticed that. I love this show. But it’s like everything they get is like shelf life items. I never realized that they never get meat or anything like you just said wow 🤩 how did I miss that and I been watching this show for a long time lol.
Nevermind that dumpster diving could easily result in a medical bill that could easily more than negate whatever she could hope to save with coupons. People routinely throw all sorts of incredibly dangerous stuff into them.
That’s very likely why that caution sign is there. But she obviously ignored it because finding coupons to save money is more important to her than her health and safety.
I'm all for saving money. The thing is that with this type of saving, you save on products you don't need, like 50 toothpaste. You need toothpaste, but not 50 boxes. I've known the feeling living paycheck to paycheck but i can't understand how she does all that work for mostly things she can't eat. At least, she donates. She helps others when she doesn't have space anymore.
@@cys5891 sure maybe if u have yellow teeth. lol, toothpaste is $6. maybe 1 per month but it def doesnt last 2.5 months for a family. she has a family, so i'd estimate 2 weeks.
I'm have a lot of respect for that cashier to have that patience and still being friendly the whole time. I will admit though it's insanely impressive to me that she got a 1000+ dollar order down to .55 cents. That's actually amazing.
If she were doing this to donate ALL of it to people in need I would so root for this, but honestly this is just absurd and such a waste of everyone’s time and energy.
@@TheWorldisQuietHere3 it’s not like she’s used all of this and stuff does expire nobody needs 400 razors and over a hundred shampoos she can donate lol
@@crazykitty6190 that's not the point though. I think she should donate it too BUT why would she because she spent painstaking time collecting it. It's not about it going bad it's about the time and effort spent just to give it away. She should do that but i understand why she would not
Not trying to judge, but couldn't this be considered an organized form of hoarding? I mean when she said to donate or have a neighbor shop, that would be really great. Let's face it no one is going to be using 48 bottles of dish soap, or 128 or so bottles of shampoo, and conditioner, all of those razors etc. Someone who was struggling to make ends meet would probably really, really appreciate anything at all. For someone in a shelter many of those things could be a huge blessing. I know at the end of the day it's hers and she can do whatever she wants with it, but if she doesn't plan on using most of the items rather than collecting dust or being a trophy section of her couponing, someone in need could, and should get some use out of some of the things there before they go bad. Personal care items, detergents, ETC. do have a shelf life. Most of those items if ever they were going to be used that is, would most likely be past their expiration date by the time she got to it. Also, she is only accumulating more, and more at this point. Definitely should give to those in need at some point.
When I did couponing years ago, this is what I did. I had specific things I would buy, like feminine products, detergent, etc. that I knew people on SNAP benefits couldn’t buy with that program. For example, I donated two shopping bags just of tampons to a woman’s shelter, Gain laundry detergent (which I don’t like but had great coupons) to our local food pantry, etc. I figure if I had the knowledge on how to get things for almost nothing, the least I could do was to try and help others. I liked it-I felt happy.
@@debbieomi hoarding specifically refers to obsessively collecting or holding onto objects. money doesnt usually apply to that, but people who are obsessed with how much money they have or make are also not very healthy
100% agree, Mindy. If she needs to invite neighbors over to take items from her it means she doesn't need to spend 60 hours each week couponing. She clearly has a psychological need to coupon that doesn't seem entirely healthy.
There’s surely a greed or obsessive motive for this. She really doesn’t need that much bulk of some of those products. $4.5k retail value of razors? Her storage area is so well kept it looks like doesn’t even use anything.
right? like i get saving money is great but why over do it? My sister is cheap, she sees cereal on sale buy one get one free and shes like "we need this!" even though we end up not eating it because she rarely eats cereal and i never do. So in the end it just wasting more money. If this lady at least donated some of it then sure. What happens when something expires? There's so much of some items that would they really eat it all?
Unless she sales that excess for profit it doesn’t economically make sense to buy a bunch of stuff you’ll never use for ‘free’ and waste 60 hrs planning it.
True. As an example, deodorant expires within a couple years at least of being purchased. If she has 105 containers of deodorant, I doubt she will be able to use them all by 2023... :) Sounds like she's wasting time and would have a lot more money if she actually worked at a job for 60 hours per week! :)
Did you even watch the video? She said she actively donates. And almost always anyone that has a stockpile that large often shares with extended family members, neighbors, friends, etc.
@@PrincessMultiracial yeah same I know people who let their family and friends “shop” from their stash of stuff they got couponing. They’ll ask for like $0.10 per item, basically just whatever they paid for it, it’s really great.
I did the math and if she worked a regular job she'd be making 3,600 a month... you can't pay bills with toothpaste and cake mix lol getting a job would be more viable imo.
She saved about $1000, and in fact she dedicated 60h to that, she effectively earned around $17 per hour. Better than a min wage job. Can this be a consistent effort? At some point having another 100 toothpaste tubes will be less valuable than money.
Not really because $$$ is better than bulk toothpaste, cake mix. For example is she sold it she'd get a fraction of what's worth. Hardly anyone buys toothpaste etc from strangers and if they did it'd have to be for much cheaper.
This lady isn’t shopping/couponing for her household or to donate, she’s doing it because she can and finds a thrill in it. It’s extremely wasteful and quite possibly a mental issue. How many tubes of toothpaste?? Do it because you need it. If she cut down her hours couponing, she could still get what she needs for her family while also contributing to the family income.
I completely agree. If she was doing it and keeping what she will use and donating the rest but most of this will expire and end up in the dump. She really needs to see a therapist. Maybe she should spend less time couponing and some time on exercise.
Not to mention, how many of those things is she just getting because she had a coupon, not because she would normally be getting them? She needs to donate those things to a shelter or food kitchen.
Why all the negative comments? I think it’s great she can do this. I know a couponer and she donates everything she gets to families who have house fires and those in need.
I signed up for a couponing class years ago. They told you everything about it except where they get the coupons from. People were asking but they kept avoiding the question. Eventually they said "coupon clipping services", you pay for the coupons! I'm sure you save in the long run, but you're still paying for it
I have friends who lived in states where you could double and sometimes triple coupons, and they said it was a nightmare when these extreme couponing shows were popular because the extreme couponers would literally clear the shelves of all sale items, without regard to people on a budge trying just to get their families needs met for the week. Rather than take even a dozen items, they'd take all 36 that were just unboxed. So if you wanted to get a couple of boxes of mac and cheese on sale for your kids, you were out of luck because one person took all that was in stock.
@@jessiejoseph1093 well I don't know her so I can't say for sure...but that's the stuff coupons pay for. The meat doesn't get coupons usually and besides..I doubt she keeps fresh meat up on a shelf. This is her stockpile , she still has a kitchen to eat her daily meals from. My shelves are stockpiled like hers but I have plenty of fresh stuff in the fridge and freezer. .
she literally has a large amount of the perfect things to have to start a homeless shelter, I really don't understand why she would rather just stock them when she will never be able to use all of these before they expire and imagine how many people she could help with these things especially the diapers.
All of her items are clean and organized, just like everything else in her life. It looks like she uses stuff and gets more in, but keeps a bit extra. I, personally do this. I have 5 of the big bottles of dish soap at any given time and 5 big containers of hand soap refill. It could last me years, but when ine gets empty, I get another one at the store when I see it cheap.
@@vidaacheampong2563 Well if you do not have the money to buy, are not the stores greedy and hoarding? Why do people do not talk about that? The stores stock up and have a lot of inventory, why can't she?
The fact that these companies would rather throw this stuff in the trash than donate to the poor or needy, tells you exactly why they are what's wrong with this world. Greed.
In my country they can't because donating to charity (if you're a supermarket) costs a lot of money (taxes) and also it's forbidden to give out food which is about to expire... So, it's the government's fault.
if she donates this stuff/ gives it to friends this is actually such an iconic anarchist moment because u KNOW those corporations are shaking in their boots at what she got away with
She doesn’t have to do something that matters for other people if she doesn’t wanna, if she wants to do the thing with the coupons she can, so stop judging
She saved on stuff she didn't need. She actually didn't save. Imagine working at $11 per hour and she works 60 hours per week. That totals $785 per week she could have earned and used for groceries and other things that her family needs because all the supplies she had that they will never use and they will just become land fill which means all that work for nothing. She has a mental problem.
She’s a mom though. She can do this while her kids are at home, or at school because it’s her schedule. She probably takes care of neighborhood kids and events with her hauls. This frees up a huge chunk of expenses in the budget long-term. From a “mom job” standpoint, this is ideal.
I would respect the heck out of this if she did it for personal use and donated the rest to shelters or other struggling families. This is just hoarding
honestly nobody is allowed to do this, TLC makes this seem like its possible, but every episode of couponing has a store manager there to monitor everything...its absolute b.s cause im sure everyone would be doing this
A lot of these episodes were filmed several years ago, when store coupon policies were a little more lax. Now the rules are for coupons are a lot stricter because of people like her. Also, there's no way a store manager would take the time to jump through all those hoops for one customer who's going to pay so little to the store.
If she can do such a great time management for her couponing, she could probably get a job somewhere, making more money because of her organizational skills and then she wouldn’t have to spend so much time looking for savings on coupons. She could actually then buy products that she really wants as opposed to just items that happen to be on sale
This show is from like 10-12 years ago which is why she could get away with it. Also it’s because of this show that majority of grocery stores changed their coupon policies to limiting how many you can use a transaction. So couponing is pretty much ruined for the average consumer.
One thing I’ll never understand watching these is how do these customers have the stores actually pay them when using coupons? Also any coupon I’ve ever seen had a limit of how many uses per customer. So I wish I could understand how this works
You have to read the coupons more carefully because it states 1 coupon per purchase meaning that item ……. Some coupons say one coupon per household same as you seeing one coupon per customer but not all coupons say that probably only 1/4 or less coupons say that. There are coupons saying only 2 like coupons per transaction nowadays but I guess sometimes even that doesn’t matter depending on STORE policy….. meaning you can over exceed and use more like coupons per transaction
Coupons have changed in limitations likely due to people like this. She's not doing anything wrong, cus stores don't really lose much from 1 or two extreme couponers buying thousands in stock and spending pennies to the dime on it- that's a rare case compared to the hundreds of other customers that bring them way more money in a day. And if the store provided coupons then she's got every right to cash them all in whenever she wants, but it was probably hellish for cashiers to scan extreme couponers out. now there's limitations on coupons. but sometimes you can still find some without limits and you just have to read the coupon very carefully
there are several couponers that I started watching on UA-cam years ago when I started. anyone can do it. you don't have to spend 60 hours a week. Walgreens and cvs have deals every week that are enough for a family. this example is extreme.
Im aussie too; are things not on sale like this in the US? That information is rather shocking! I always stock up on my regular stuff when its 40%-50%+ off, is this not a universal thing??
Not to be negative, but I hope the supermarket has a special checkout for couponers so that other shoppers aren't kept waiting in line for ages and ages on end.
Too true. She kept talking about being stressed. If you want to see stressed, look at the cashier’s face. And the people in line behind her. I’m not dissing coupons, I use them myself, but there is a Big difference between being thrifty and being obsessed.
I never minded about this, until the pandemic. I was behind a lady that was absolutely hoarding items. They refused to sell her multiples of everything, and then when she kept yelling they finally told her to leave. Empty handed. 😌 as for this lady, apparently they live off of cake mix, cookie mix, and candy.
She doesn’t exclusively live off of cake mix and candy, it’s just that this is the only type of food she can buy in bulk fruits and vegetables shouldn’t be bought this way because they go bad
She says she doesn't pay anything but she's pretty much given her life to it and that's quite a huge cost really.

Has anybody noticed the food she saved money on is either processed or ultra-processed? They simply don't make coupons for fruits, vegetables, dried lentils, or dried legumes. Also, correlate that knowledge with the fact that she looks much older than a 24-year-old woman.

I used to be a cashier and if I saw that coming toward me, I would turn off my light and go home.
*I can’t imagine the pain that the cashier felt while doing this job*
Not trying to judge, but couldn't this be considered an organized form of hoarding? I mean when she said to donate or have a neighbor shop, that would be really great. Let's face it no one is going to be using 48 bottles of dish soap, or 128 or so bottles of shampoo, and conditioner, all of those razors etc.
Someone who was struggling to make ends meet would probably really, really appreciate anything at all. For someone in a shelter many of those things could be a huge blessing. I know at the end of the day it's hers and she can do whatever she wants with it, but if she doesn't plan on using most of the items rather than collecting dust or being a trophy section of her couponing, someone in need could, and should get some use out of some of the things there before they go bad. Personal care items, detergents, ETC. do have a shelf life. Most of those items if ever they were going to be used that is, would most likely be past their expiration date by the time she got to it. Also, she is only accumulating more, and more at this point. Definitely should give to those in need at some point.
What's the dollar limit in one's bank account that should be considered hoarding?
When I did couponing years ago, this is what I did. I had specific things I would buy, like feminine products, detergent, etc. that I knew people on SNAP benefits couldn’t buy with that program. For example, I donated two shopping bags just of tampons to a woman’s shelter, Gain laundry detergent (which I don’t like but had great coupons) to our local food pantry, etc. I figure if I had the knowledge on how to get things for almost nothing, the least I could do was to try and help others. I liked it-I felt happy.
@@debbieomi hoarding specifically refers to obsessively collecting or holding onto objects. money doesnt usually apply to that, but people who are obsessed with how much money they have or make are also not very healthy
100% agree, Mindy. If she needs to invite neighbors over to take items from her it means she doesn't need to spend 60 hours each week couponing. She clearly has a psychological need to coupon that doesn't seem entirely healthy.
Let’s just appreciate the cashiers patience with all of this 😂
That’s her job sooo
Lol because the camera was there
There’s surely a greed or obsessive motive for this. She really doesn’t need that much bulk of some of those products. $4.5k retail value of razors? Her storage area is so well kept it looks like doesn’t even use anything.
right? like i get saving money is great but why over do it? My sister is cheap, she sees cereal on sale buy one get one free and shes like "we need this!" even though we end up not eating it because she rarely eats cereal and i never do. So in the end it just wasting more money. If this lady at least donated some of it then sure. What happens when something expires? There's so much of some items that would they really eat it all?

Maybe there should be a limit to how many coupons each person can use eg. per month
They get reimbursed for the coupons by the manufacturers. It’s really not a huge loss for them other than the hassle.
It is not just ridiculous but it's selfish. There are other people that have small grocery budgets as well. But no one can get the products.

@@PrincessMultiracial yeah same I know people who let their family and friends “shop” from their stash of stuff they got couponing. They’ll ask for like $0.10 per item, basically just whatever they paid for it, it’s really great.

I did the math and if she worked a regular job she'd be making 3,600 a month... you can't pay bills with toothpaste and cake mix lol getting a job would be more viable imo.
She saved about $1000, and in fact she dedicated 60h to that, she effectively earned around $17 per hour. Better than a min wage job. Can this be a consistent effort? At some point having another 100 toothpaste tubes will be less valuable than money.
She would make a great accountant or a financial controller. She’s very organized as well.
Not really because $$$ is better than bulk toothpaste, cake mix. For example is she sold it she'd get a fraction of what's worth. Hardly anyone buys toothpaste etc from strangers and if they did it'd have to be for much cheaper.
@@cloudyns uncle Sam can't tax toothpaste though 💀

This lady isn’t shopping/couponing for her household or to donate, she’s doing it because she can and finds a thrill in it. It’s extremely wasteful and quite possibly a mental issue. How many tubes of toothpaste??
Do it because you need it. If she cut down her hours couponing, she could still get what she needs for her family while also contributing to the family income.
I completely agree. If she was doing it and keeping what she will use and donating the rest but most of this will expire and end up in the dump. She really needs to see a therapist. Maybe she should spend less time couponing and some time on exercise.
it's TLC (they live crazy channel) 🙃

Limit *One Coupon, Per Visit, Per Item, Per Day*
I have friends who lived in states where you could double and sometimes triple coupons, and they said it was a nightmare when these extreme couponing shows were popular because the extreme couponers would literally clear the shelves of all sale items, without regard to people on a budge trying just to get their families needs met for the week. Rather than take even a dozen items, they'd take all 36 that were just unboxed. So if you wanted to get a couple of boxes of mac and cheese on sale for your kids, you were out of luck because one person took all that was in stock.

She saved on stuff she didn't need. She actually didn't save. Imagine working at $11 per hour and she works 60 hours per week. That totals $785 per week she could have earned and used for groceries and other things that her family needs because all the supplies she had that they will never use and they will just become land fill which means all that work for nothing. She has a mental problem.
Me too. I wish she would write an eBook so I can take lessons. I’d use it for the shampoo and cleaning supply stock. Nothing food related.

Yeah but she could just work 60 hours and make more than the 1700 she saves from collecting coupons for that long
She’s a mom though. She can do this while her kids are at home, or at school because it’s her schedule. She probably takes care of neighborhood kids and events with her hauls. This frees up a huge chunk of expenses in the budget long-term. From a “mom job” standpoint, this is ideal.
Props to her, hopefully she donates a lot of that haul bc there's no way her family could go through all that.

This show is from like 10-12 years ago which is why she could get away with it. Also it’s because of this show that majority of grocery stores changed their coupon policies to limiting how many you can use a transaction. So couponing is pretty much ruined for the average consumer.

I can't help but feel sorry for the workers who have to deal with all those coupons and the customers that where forsed to wait for all those coupons
One thing I’ll never understand watching these is how do these customers have the stores actually pay them when using coupons? Also any coupon I’ve ever seen had a limit of how many uses per customer. So I wish I could understand how this works
You have to read the coupons more carefully because it states 1 coupon per purchase meaning that item ……. Some coupons say one coupon per household same as you seeing one coupon per customer but not all coupons say that probably only 1/4 or less coupons say that. There are coupons saying only 2 like coupons per transaction nowadays but I guess sometimes even that doesn’t matter depending on STORE policy….. meaning you can over exceed and use more like coupons per transaction
Me 2 couldnot understand .
This show is about a decade old. Back then, coupons didn’t have limits on them.
Coupons have changed in limitations likely due to people like this. She's not doing anything wrong, cus stores don't really lose much from 1 or two extreme couponers buying thousands in stock and spending pennies to the dime on it- that's a rare case compared to the hundreds of other customers that bring them way more money in a day. And if the store provided coupons then she's got every right to cash them all in whenever she wants, but it was probably hellish for cashiers to scan extreme couponers out. now there's limitations on coupons. but sometimes you can still find some without limits and you just have to read the coupon very carefully
This show breaks a lot of rules. This isn't normal coupon use.
Honestly wish i could coupon like these people. Definitely would help alot.

Im aussie too; are things not on sale like this in the US? That information is rather shocking! I always stock up on my regular stuff when its 40%-50%+ off, is this not a universal thing??
My mom always buys things she never would have bought if there wasnt a discount for it, same applies here, the sellers trick worked
“I’m never going to stink “
- go’s dumpster diving
:/ 😂😂
Not to be negative, but I hope the supermarket has a special checkout for couponers so that other shoppers aren't kept waiting in line for ages and ages on end.
Too true. She kept talking about being stressed. If you want to see stressed, look at the cashier’s face. And the people in line behind her. I’m not dissing coupons, I use them myself, but there is a Big difference between being thrifty and being obsessed.
Nope, I have been in line behind them...
5hey dont. Other shoppers use other lines
This is why I like the digital coupons. No one has to wait forever.
I never minded about this, until the pandemic. I was behind a lady that was absolutely hoarding items. They refused to sell her multiples of everything, and then when she kept yelling they finally told her to leave. Empty handed. 😌 as for this lady, apparently they live off of cake mix, cookie mix, and candy.
Does she look trim and healthy?
She doesn’t exclusively live off of cake mix and candy, it’s just that this is the only type of food she can buy in bulk fruits and vegetables shouldn’t be bought this way because they go bad
