Back in the day, when I worked at a grocery store we had couples that did this extreme couponing thing. It was before computers did most of the work. And I will tell you from the working guy’s point of view-—it was a royal pain in the @ss.
The tracking was a pain in the neck. And the people are argumentative, and just weird. You should have seen the cashiers run when they came in.
I know the other side: You are bagging groceries anyway...what difference does it make. The difference is not the volume of the work—no one cared about that. It was the way the customers treated you and their overall weirdness. We hated them.
The only one of these shows that made me feel good was the one where they drove all of the junk over to the local food bank and gave it away.
Buying 20 bottles of soda is one thing (although your kids should not drink that much) but 10 cases of raman noodles, and speed stick?
I appreciate the intent, but it is a little silly. At least thats my take on it.

My friend in Canada was telling me of a show they watched oh about a year ago, that the guy went to WalMart and got over 1,000 dollars worth of stuff and paid just over 100 dollars out of pocket and took it right to a food pantry and gave it to them. Now that was really neat.
