BTW, my Ken's Marinade coupons are hot to trot and starting tomorrow The Coupon Whisperer will score several dozen FREE bottles. I had just run out of my marinade stockpile so this is like the cavalry arriving in the nick of time. Hopefully I can build up a 6 month stockpile.
Keep up to date on the LATEST in the world of couponing by asking to be placed on The Coupon Whisperer PING List.
What stores let you do this? I’ve had cashiers throw coupons back at me when I’ve only had 2 of them.
I’d like to be on the list, please.
I’ve taped the show and will watch it later tonight. It looks interesting and I’d like to know how they were able to do that.
The first couple were very strange. I’m a couponer and I’m a stockpiler, so I get the idea behind stockpiling. But just what the heck are they doing with all that mustard? I could see clearing the shelf if it was a MM, but just because it’s $.39? Like it’ll never be on sale again? They’d have to pay ME to take that much. Then, she was complaining about being over what she wanted to pay. Well, how’s about putting back some of the $30 you just spent on ‘cheap’ mustard! Sheesh...
Paul and Tiffany are great. I know their websites well. They did a real shopping trip and made things work for them.
What was with the chick PAYING $.69 a piece for all that Maalox (You know, the stuff that they were paying people to take out of stores by the truckload the entire time that $5/1 coupon was valid!) and thinking that was a good deal? Every real couponer in the world now knows that she’s a sucker.
I think the actual show is going to have the opposite effect from the pilot: I think it’s going to keep people away from couponing rather than make them more curious. I also noted the lack of any real information to help people. There was much more info in the pilot.
I’ll still watch it, but I found most of them to be pretty amateurish couponers.
Strangely, I actually kind of get what that slimy liberal reviewer wrote about it now that I’ve watched it. Much of the show showed the darker side of couponing where people are just being gluttonous. Meanwhile, in the real world, the overwhelming majority of REAL couponers are just about the most generous people you could ever hope to meet.
I don’t think I’m on your list. Ping pretty please? :)
“Extreme Couponing” — isn’t that an oxymoron?
Can you please add me to your list?
Please add us to your list please. Thank you.
Please add me to your list.
BUMPING
I watched both shows. My first reaction was envy at the liberal coupon policies that apparently exist elsewhere in the country. For instance one gal did 18 separate transactions in order to get $10 off every $50 she spent. I dont know of any store in my area that would allow that.
We often shop at Bloom. It has a coupon limit of 20/day. We had a Shoppers Food Warehouse for a while (now closed); you could not use more than four of the same coupon in one trip. The idea of cash back if a coupon doubles for more than a product is priced is totally foreign to me. All the stores in our part of Virginia will allow not allow deduction of more than the product price due to coupons. Nor take more than one coupon per item.
My second reaction was concern that the show will cause merchants to tighten their policies further so that the kind of tactics being devised to circumvent coupon limits won’t fly. It would take a computer programmer a few minutes to program the system so that you cant use your store “VIP” customer card more than once every 24 hours.
I felt it was rather odd. The people seemed obsessed and frankly, a little crazy.
Really disliked the mustard woman.
Really disliked the constant use of “super mom” for the other lady.
FWIW.
I think it pretty cool my father and I go separate shopping aisle get same deal he pay for 4 for 10 for Cokes I pay mine we shop separately go separate aisle then meet each other outside the store LOL!

The future Mrs. Bartender locked me in the room and made me watch it. I was impressed by all the savings and techniques, but I really wanted to slap the **** out of the mustard lady.
Thanks for your continued posts and website (bookmarked).
