moms buying 600 bottles of bbq for 6 minutes (extreme couponing)

[@kamek]

i think the main problem i have with this is the concept of keeping product just because, and not really donating to those in need. donating dog food is great and all, but what do you need 30 cans of corn for? what do you need 50 bottles of similac for when your kids are grown? i really wish more couponing resources went to poor people that actually need it rather than middle class organized hoarders.

[@ms_cartographer]

I'm not surprised that rich people do this. Us middle class folks and poor folks are too busy working to do this.

[@ArtsyHumanbean]

This must be a contributor to over abundance and wastefulness - I can’t imagine being the kids in the family of nine. Proud of you mom but… wow. That’s a lot.

[@elis_stuff]

Agreed. Although some of the odd items/“miscellaneous” may have been purchased for a special sale aka buy 1 liter root beer get free ice cream. But I’ve also heard that coupon ppl will try to make a mini store inside their homes and breakdown if somethings missing 😬

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

What makes you think middle class people don't need to coupon and stock up on items? Middle class people have financial struggles, too. Sure these ladies DO go overboard, but couponing is how a lot of them stay in the middle class thanks to the money it saves them. My parents never made a lot of money but their smart financial decisions kept us above the poverty line, even when my sister was in the hospital for a month. Middle class isn't just about how much money you make, but also about your financial literacy. That's why it's called middle class; depending on the family, they are either teetering towards having so much money that it doesn't matter how they use it, or they need to be extremely careful in their decisions to avoid outright poverty.

[@donwade9800]

@@purelysmetalnightcore no offence but by some definitions, if you're one disaster away from poverty, you're not really middle class. But your parents did well to provide for you. Hats off to them and their hard work.

I’ve encountered extreme couponing while working at a grocery store but they’re NEVER this excessive. They usually were pretty nice and had everything planned out prior to coming in. We had one regular who would do it around the holidays or if an event was in need of donations.

[@Lovelyaribb]

As a cashier who used to deal with extreme couponers… no. The amount of things that you have to scan in crazhers the register. They always try to use expired or coupons that don’t apply. It’s a lot of arguing and a giant draggggedddd out two hour hassle. If I could just scan and that would be it, I’d be happy. But it’s always a giant ordeal.

[@xxmissingspacexx3028]

When I worked at a thrift store, huge orders were great because we didn’t have to deal with coupons. It was scan, wrap, bag, for an hour and it was so easy. Working at a big chain, tho? Nightmare. Assuming the registers can even handle orders that huge.

I can't imagine how long it takes to do all this shit, just for the high of saving money that you probs wouldn't have even spent in the first place. Also if they know they need that many things you think they'd ask for cases of it in the back instead of forcing the cashiers to manually scan each individual item, and wipe their shelves clean.
