Just Jack Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Flipping through the limited channels at the hotel I'm at this week, I caught this show, starting tonight.... Extreme Couponing It's crazy the quantities some of these people are buying of one item, just because they have coupons.

WVUFootball29 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 The crap that passes for entertainment these days. And my wife can watch hours of it :wallbash:
Chef Jim Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 We have a friend who's like this. She actually goes to some stores, and ends up getting PAID after she uses all of her coupons. It takes an incredible amount of time. Which is how stupid some of these people are. Sure she got paid but for how much time spent. Have her figure it out and tell her what her hourly rate is. The saying time is money is very true. We say retirement is the wealth of time.

Have her figure it out and tell her what her hourly rate is. The saying time is money is very true. We say retirement is the wealth of time. My wife goes to stores and uses coupons, and mixed with some rebates she actually makes money on the venture. She doesn't spend a lot of time researching the stuff. For example, she got a Foodsaver for $26, when the normal price is $80. It isn't THAT hard to do, and it doesn't take long to do it. The show was a "hoarders" show thats focus was on the extreme cases of coupon clipping. One person dumpster dived for coupons. Coupons are a very smart, and easy way to save money.

Kinda my thought too, that we'll see these same people on "Hoarders" in a couple of years. If you already have enough deodorant to last 150 years, do you need several hundred more?

KD in CA Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Ah yes, the full time hobby of consumerism. Nothing more satisfying on earth than saving six bits on a thousand rolls of toilet paper.

Ok all you guys. If you ever had this conversation with your wife raise your hand: You: What did you buy this for? Wife: I had a coupon? You: Wife:
Cugalabanza Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Wife: Wow, this thread really is extreme!
Chef Jim Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Wow, this thread really is extreme! OJ always was my hero.
