LOVED the show! I watched it twice last night, recorded it on my DVR, and started checking out coupon sites this morning.

More shows coming up on this subject????

I watched the show last night and thought it was awesome! However, I didn’t see or maybe I missed seeing anyone on the west coast. I live in Oregon and where I live rarely do we get double coupons in our papers. I do save quite a bit on my groceries but would like to save more! I’m checking out the “coupon clipping” services and I’m going to order a few more papers. Thank you for the information!

I think the show was interesting but excessive, it is one thing to get this stuff for almost free but when it takes over your life, your garage, the rooms in your house and you are just getting the stuff for the sake of getting it, it is just too much for me.

Imagine if these people had garage sales and sold this stuff for a fraction of what people would pay in the store and instead of having $50k worth of stuff on shelves you could have $10k-$15k in the bank and do this once or twice a year or imagine what could be done if all of the excess was donated to food pantries. I know the guy mentioned donating stuff to his church which is great.

I save money on coupons and believe in buying stuff on sale and matching coupons with douple coupon day at the store and sales but you have to balance it with time with your family, taking care of your health and doing things in a healthy way.

Spending so much time obsessing about getting stuff you don’t need for almost free or free is unhealthy.

Just my opinion of course.

does anyone know how u acsually get all that for free i mean i know its the coupons but to get it for free someone help me out with this please?

I LOVED the show. I have been using coupons for years, but not like this. BUT I am now. What I did was I got my flyer for the week, found the great deals, went on ebay “bought” coupons. Paid about $1.00 for 20 coupons. Got MANY items for free or only a few cents. My store double’s any coupon up to $1.00. That’s how I got lots of things for free plus I got $$ off coupons off my next order. Hope this helps!

I sorted out in piles repeat coupons and cut stacks in bulk and it was easier to put all in a photo album to be able to view. I looked in my local flyers to see posted sales and am gonna give this a try. I called Shaws and riteaid they have reward cards free to give u a discount in store and Shaws here in Waterville me will daily double a coupon thats .99 or under and on special weeks they do a dollar double? Only downfall is its 45 min away/ Rite aid has some good sales after my copons, im going to give this a go!

One of the biggest things that bug me is these people have advantages that most people don’t have. In my area there are no double coupon deals much less triple deals. All papers are recycled so there is no bin that I can raid for inserts. I don’t have a source for large quantities of inserts to be saved for me and delivered to my house like that one lady with the pointy black boots. I recently moved and live in an area where the houses are far apart, so I can’t walk the streets asking for handout inserts. I have checked coupon clipping services and it seems pretty pricy to me. I do print from my computer the coupons, but ink is expensive, and buying 6 or more papers per week is also expensive. It seems I am still spending alot of money to save money. Maybe I am not doing it right. Plus I do have somewhat of a life so I don’t want to spend 24/7 doing couponing. There has to be a medium ground.

I LOVE THE SHOW!! I WISH IS WAS ME SHOPPING LIKE THAT AND SAVING MONEY AS THE SAME TIME … THE MONEY COULD BE WELL SPENT ON ANYTHING….

saw the show. loved it. i just started couponing… my first experience was not as rewarding as expected but as they all say its takes time. my question is, if you cant double on coupons, how is it cheaper to use the coupons vs.just buying the store brand? ie like a walmart

I too watch the show, but I know I am missing something. No double coupons in my area, and you can’t double manufacturers coupons, so if you save .10 on a $1 item, you still pay .90. I know if the item is on sale, you save more, but I also find that even with the savings, the almost always name brand items still cost more than generic even with the coupons. Is there anywhere to find a step by step instruction guide on the net? I also wonder about the Hoarding issue. A good stock pile is great, but I agree with the person about the garage sale.

Try looking in the library or asking the library to start a coupon bin to share coupons with other coupon savers. Or start a coupon club on yahoo groups or with friends in your neighborhood. It is hard to save up the coupons but my son and I just walk around every other week and get them from peoples recylcing bins, we dont mind, we are saving money and it’s fun to spend that time with each other.
