No but i wish i was

No. If there's a coupon for a product I normally buy, I'll definitely use it. But I generally don't go out of my way to buy products I normally wouldn't because they're discounted or I have a coupon for them.

No, but I live for it. Everyone loves a good deal, so I live vicariously through these people.
I unfortunately barely use coupons because the stuff I want is never available for coupons. The only thing I use coupons on is almond milk which silk sends you coupons if you sign up on their site.

Coupon with dignity, integrity, and a respect for the rules and regulations. And by that, I mean you should really only use the coupon as it was intended — applying it once (and only once) towards the purchase of applicable product(s).

It's easy to get caught up in the couponer's spin — that times are tough, incomes are stretched, and they, like all of us ordinary folk who work hard for our money, are just looking to get the biggest bang for their buck. But extremists of just about any variety are, as a rule of thumb, gravely deluded with regard to whatever extreme practice consumes them. Extreme couponers are not looking for savings on necessary items so much as they are looking to turn a profit (yes, the savviest of couponers find ways to be paid for shoplifting "purchasing" 56 boxes of Kraft-processed-********) and abuse the system by fraudulently redeeming discounts for mass quantities of items they will never use (and most likely don't have the decency to donate). Thankfully, most retailers are toughening their stance on price-matching, doubling up of coupons, layering of coupons on top of store promotions, and bulk buying (which can create a huge inconvenience for other customers with a legitimate need for certain products). It's time to make "extreme couponing" such a hassle and fruitless endeavor that its practitioners give up the scam.

You won't consume enough spaghetti in the next 20 years to justify your stockpile of pasta sauce.

I pray for your blistered asshole if you actually need all 400 rolls of toilet paper that line the walls of your garage.

I will call CPS if I suspect you spend more hours of your day clipping and organizing coupons than you do interacting with your children.

From a financial standpoint, does it make sense to forego a full-time career in favor an unpaid coupon clipping internship in your living room?

You got $600 worth of ******** for $24. I bought $24 of product I'll actually use, and I didn't spend a week planning my shopping trip or an hour of my time berating the store clerk as he dutifully rang up my goods.

The bottom-line is this; we all suffer as a result of the couponer's fraudulent tactics. Coupon scamming can have a noticeable effect on a company's profit margin, and while it's difficult to sympathize with retail giants like Walmart, there are smaller chains that are more susceptible to the hit. Some manufactures and stores are offering less enticing deals as a result of discount abuse. It's all no bueño, guys.

And nothing can justify the attitudes and unreasonable expectations displayed by most couponers when shopping. Recognize that the act of one person making a purchase of 400+ items is enough of an inconvenience (though, they'd be happy to have your patronage if your sale was actually going to count towards their numbers) for most stores, then factor in the part where you ask some kid working a register to process just as many coupons that may or may not work as you expect them to work, and then think about how you're going to interact with the people doing their best to help you pull-off this con. If your smile so much as waivers for a god damn second...

nn No, that's too much work tbh.

My aunt is one tho

No but my dad is

I use ebates.com. you get cash back on mostly every purchase online.

For example, you get 6% cash back at Macy's, 5% on Expedia.com for those vacations.

shameless self promo

No, but let me start though

It's Super Double coupon week at Harris Teeter, too. (The time where the coupon queens, with binders in tow, shamelessy clear out the shelves)

I am NOT an extreme couponer.I use coupons (particularly the ones my job would mail me) but there's no use for me investing in multiple copies of the local newspaper, strategizing how I can use my coupons and/or trying to figure out what goes on what transaction so you don't stress out store coupon limits or require manager intervention via override. I am, however, a huge sucker for manager's specials.It's like a treasure hunt tbh.

I actually agree with this to be quite honest, and would also like to add that in some cases, it takes a toll on customer service and attitudes in the store.First off, many stores tend to order a certain amount of product, with the expectation that a certain number of people will buy said product.When someone shows up with 15 or so coupons for a product like a large jug of Tide laundry detergent and takes all the bottles off the shelf, it creates a problem for everyone else.It creates problems for other customers, who have to end up going to another store for that bottle of Tide if they aren't getting a rain check for it. It creates problems for employees who not only have to stop what they're doing and go 'look in the back for it' but in some cases, get chewed out by customers who can sometimes be rude.In some cases, buying up all the product also creates problems for the stores as some of these items are items that carry higher profit margins than food, meaning the store's bottom line suffers for it. When these stores double coupons, they're taking a loss on the product in order to increase sales volume. If people overdo it, it makes it unfeasible to keep the program going.

As far as customer service is concerned, sometimes couponers take a toll on the front end staff as well.As much as I would hate to say it, some couponers are bitchy.If a coupon isn't getting accepted the way it should, then all hell gets raised, with the cashier or manager taking the brunt of it. After dealing with the nasty attitudes some people have, why would one even want to even as much as fake a smile for the next guest, especially at the pay cashiers at some stores get??

Not to mention those who unsuccessfully try to coupon in the store leaving a cart full of unnecessary go-backs for soneone to put up because someone failed to read the coupon policy or didn't crunch their numbers right.

Not to mentioned tales I heard of people getting multiple loyalty cards, going to the store at 3 AM the morning of Super Doubles and what have you

I'm not saying double coupons should be banned, there are people who are reasonable with how they use coupons, but extreme couponing is a bit much, and I wouldn't be surprised if the show on TLC had something to do with it either.

Wait, I buy their almond milk all the time.

I swear that's only a thing in the US
