Coupons?!

Have you seem this show?! If you haven’t, let me tell you …

There are certifiable people out there who clip coupons, buy hundreds of dollars of groceries and pay no more than a few dollars. Sure, this sounds like a good idea until you realize that it takes hours upon hours of researching store fliers, cutting dozens of duplicate coupons and arranging friends and/or family in a shopping cart caravan to amass a year’s worth of deodorant, canned tomatoes and 60 bottles of barbecue sauce. For real.

One extreme couponer acquired large quantities of sale items just because it would “look good” in her stockpile. And a teen college boy picked up 20+ packages of maxi pads to store in his dorm room because, according to him, his family can use them.

Yet another reason to turn off the TV and read a book.
