I used to be a couponer. But there’s a difference between a “couponer” and an “extreme couponer”. I used to buy what my family needed and could use. Occasionally there would be things leftover that I knew we couldn’t use in time so I donated. Sadly though because of extreme couponers, it’s become more and more difficult to coupon. Stores and typical customers get fed up with inventory being taken by one person.
