I understand the concept of saving money. Trust me, with the size family we have...pinching pennies is no only common knowledge, it's necessary for us to live generously on one income.
But what I don't understand is these people who are making their t.v. debut on TLC's new show "Extreme Couponing" and think they are being seen on a positive light. HELLO HOARDER! I mean, come on, who seriously needs 176 bottles of mustard? I understand that there's no shelf life and it will virtually last forever, but still. Not even sure our family would go through 176 bottles of mustard in our lifetime.
(even watching these ladies attitudes towards the cashiers upset me)
To me, this Extreme Couponing show, highlights people who are not only going beyond "saving their family money", but showing how people are working a system where they can virtually walk away with an entire shelf of paper towels for NO $$.
If you've never watched the show...I highly recommend you check it out to see this for yourself...but I have a feeling you'll really only be able to stomach one show. The idea that these people are able to save so much money by couponing is awesome...the amount that they are buying, however...is ABOVE AND BEYOND necessary. After that, you'll be just as disgusted and disturbed as I was with watching it. I caught myself yelling at the t.v. and shouting out my dislike...as I watched these people take couponing (which can be a positive thing for a family to save $$) to beyond an extreme level. Limit yourself people. If you are able to get this much product for "free", then donate most of it to the homeless shelters or hand out boxes of cereal to people you see on the street that probably forget what a full tummy feels like. I know some of the families do, but then it's the other's they show...with every nook and cranny in their house stocked full of stuff they probably will never use...but just like knowing they got for free!
In my opinion...FREE is good (most of the time), but HOARDING is bad (in every situation)! If you do, do extreme couponing, please be charitable with your purchases. I mean, really...do you need that many cans of tuna for just your family?
