Couponers Coupon So Much They BREAK The Register | Extreme Couponing

We compiled some of the most Extreme Couponing moments from season 1. Rookie couponer Amber heads to the supermarket with her family to buy groceries, worth almost 3000 dollars. Her massive shopping breaks the register - how will the shop react to this? Then we have Scott who likes to call himself the Coupon King and goes for a last couponing haul before the family's second child is born. His stockpile already consists of more than 25,000 diapers, but this is not nearly enough for Scott. Lastly, Chris is on a mission to purchase a further 700 items for his donations to various charities. Will a problem with the supermarket's till stop him from purchasing the items for free?
From season 1.

I am an extreme couponer and what this show doesn't tell you is that there isn't a store left in the country that allows that many coupons in one transaction, or how they had to contact the store and have everything set up ahead of time so the cashier would accept them. Extreme couponing doesn't work like this anymore, unfortunately.

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

Accurate!!

[@gdejesus6341]

Now it’s like 37 transactions no 4 same coupons on the same transaction but it can still be done just have to be even more accurate in the process

[@amyrivers4093]

I wondered about this because supermarkets would go out of business if it was this easy. I use the word 'easy' loosely because it would take a lot time and effort to do it.

[@florencethompson4161]

@@amyrivers4093 right! And the fact that they're bringing up pallets of stuff from the back also tells you this was all planned in advance. It's so hard to get a store to order extra for you these days because of the limits the manufacturers put on the coupons. Some have literally limited theirs to one per trip/transaction and most stores are honoring those rules. Not to mention that the majority of cashiers have not been properly trained regarding the verbiage on coupons. They think that one per item means only one can be used. It's very frustrating sometimes. I never thought I'd see the day that P&G would no longer have coupons in the newspaper, but here we are. There's going to be more to follow I'm sure. We will keep adjusting to whatever they throw at us 😊

Imagine this was how the baby formula shortage started 💀

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

Yes because of these hoarders!

[@amyrivers4093]

I don't think that it's hoarding if they use what they buy and rotate it. One couple donated it all and one was preparing for baby number two. The people who buy massive amounts of food and toiletries that they won't use in a month of Sundays need to rethink what their purpose is.

[@terrawilliams960]

I was just thinking... What happens when the baby won't take that type of formula?

[@TheWipal]

​@SouthernBelleTreasuresSarafina wasn't there a giant recall and supply chain shortage? 😅

[@blancavirto6577]

If they are so worried about the number of scans, why aren't they using the quantity button instead of individual scans?

[@BiafraRepublic]

Ex-cashier here. Depending on the register, there may be a minimum quantity to use with that button, and most don't work with coupon barcodes.

You have to save money and use coupons. Prices of groceries are going up and plus the pandemic made it worse. I use coupons everytime I shop.

[@lexirowe3151]

This was the episode that I knew this show was fake. I live in Arizona and shop at Frys all the time and they do not allow that many coupons at once and never did. They only did this for the show. I do miss the making all coupons a dollar though that was a great promo

[@emilymeyer7788]

Tbh if we had coupons in Germany, I'd also be extreme couponing. But those few we have save you just as much as if the product were to be on offer, they don't double or anything, so most people ignore them. I do love cashback though, but you have to be fine with handing your bank details to dozens of companies so they can reimburse you. The products are free, but you often pay with data, so that is that

[@gunnerrosswald1671]

They should do an episode where all of them meet and find coupons

[@ashleytunesorvideos]

My version of extreme coupon is stocking up on huge sales like 10 for 10 sales, 8 for 10, 5 for 10, etc

[@jo-jo8845]

Scott calling himself a professional and thinking cashiers judge him

[@bosein4201]

The sad irony is, that if he spent as much time at any job as he spent with coupons, he'd earn twice as much from from any job as he saved spending coupons. For every hour he spent clipping coupons to save $0.25, he could have earned $15 or more by working.

[@AneTorine96]

You are sadly not considering the fact that an experienced couponer can save way more than 15 dollars in an hour. Also, many people obsessed with couponing consider the time they spend on coupons as recreation.
