I do use coupons occaisionally. Last night I saw a lady buy 77 jars of mustard ! What in the heck are you gonna do with 77 jars of mustard. ? They will probably outlive her. I think this is just another way of hoarding, Although perhaps a little more organized but a good portion of their purchase will pass their expiration date long before they get to use them.

I get the coupon appeal, but from the sounds of it (i didn't watch) it seems like some of them are bordering on hoarders.

That would just drive me nuts having that much stuff around.

I can understand mustard more than 40 packages of lunchmeat! That doesn't even freeze well.
The original one back a few months had that one woman who refuted people's claims that there are no coupons for healthy options. There are a few, but not really...certainly not the bulk of food like these people are purchasing.
I never see coupons for fresh produce!

I thought Jaime was just horrible. She thought she looked all posh but uh, no. She didn't need 70 bottles of mustard, she just wanted to prove a point. I'd be pissed if I needed mustard and showed up at the store after her. The 40 packages of meat are hardly meat at all...it's those Buddig things that are extremely processed, even by deli meat standards. And from what I've been reading online, she engages in some highly questionable practices with regard to couponing.

This is definitely a form of hoarding, except that the hoarders here are also self-righteous because they think they are doing something amazing.

See,that's the other thing.I don't have any stores near me that double or triple their coupons.In fact,I hadn't hear of that in years! I must be shopping in wrong places,lol.I'll stick to looking through the coupons still...but I wont go out of my way to get the best deals on junk that I don't need.

7 kids and no closet space? How stupid is that? I treasure every inch of closet space in my matchbox manor. I could not think of using them for TP, paper towels and such. Where does her family put their clothes or do they wear 1 outfit while the other is in the wash?

I've got to find the online discussions that Amy mentioned.

Dag Nab It! The second episode didn't record. There was some sort of error. There's no place to watch it online. Unfortunately, like other channels, it doesn't repeat ad nausea. I'll have to check out the weekend to see if it is there.

boooooo.

Mare, I was reading the Television Without Pity message boards. They were linking blogs of other couponers describing why what Jaime was doing was wrong.

Thanks. I'll try and find it later.
