Anybody watching this show on TLC ?  Don't know how they do it !

Very time consuming.  I have trouble using one 50cent coupon LOL

[Sooner]

Why do they do it?  Stealing, hoarding, just plain mean to take all for yourself, greed, etc. etc.

[SharkE]

kind of disturbing.  People buying 60 cans of one thing, 35 bags of chips, etc.

How do you use befoe it gets stale ? do the stores lose money that's not right.   I'm kind of glad for them, but, I agree you shouldn't be a hog.

The ones who make sense to me are the people who donate their haul to food pantry's and other charities.

I've seen some of these extreme couponers donate their bounty to the local food pantry and shelters for the less fortunate.  They appreciate the help.

I have seen it in the past but not recently.  It does seem like an organized version of hoarding...not to mention how time consuming it is!

I also don't understand why someone would need 20 tubes of toothpaste, 30 boxes of cereal (doesn't it get old & stale?) 25 boxes of dish detergent, etc. 

 A few days ago I was in Costco and purchased a large 3 pack of lemon Pledge since I was out of it.  I think this will last a few years so I can't imagine the need for so much unless you have a huge household or run a small school!

I'm sure the supermarkets just love seeing them!

@deepwaterdotter But still you cut out everybody else in the community and that isn't fair either.  Food pantries get help from groups, churches and businesses, but old people on social security and others are often on their own.    What about anyone who takes time to clip the coupon, follow the rules, shop then there's none left for them?

I think it's up to the stores to set limits on number of coupons used. None of the stores I shop in will allow over a certain number.

I don't clip coupons at all but if someone wants to take it to the extreme, good for them & it's none of my business what they do with the items.

Are there new episodes?

The shows I used to see were old from several years ago. Don't you just

love how you hardly see shoppers in the shows? Also when they have an

issue with the coupons whether they think that they are short on one or

the amount may not be what they expected it is like the whole world is

going to crumble on them.

Of course it usually works out fine. They are amusing to watch but after

a few it starts to give you a headache, the crazyness some of these

people resort to get all these coupons.
