If she has no more room to store the items, she should donate them to the church.

i bet she wont do that

[@shastasilverchairsg]

I love her tagline "Jesus saves, so we should save".

[@joefreeman3087]

My favourite extreme couponers are the ones who donate some of the excess goods to charities or those in need, so I'm surprised that a MINISTER wasn't all over this...shame really.

[@leachville3001]

Donations the homeless please 🙏 ❤😊

[@Laerthor]

how did she spend 13 hours researching before shopping and was still off by double?

[@melissaadrian8591]

thought the same. I have seen them off before but by a few bucks. And sometimes even then its because they missed a coupon. Being that off is shocking

[@emmycutie10]

“The lord told me to buy a rack for my pancake mix” wow like this is almost making fun of your own religion. You don’t think God maybe has bigger lessons? XDD

[@jodyshoneybee]

That's what I was thinking. Anything you saved with coupons you spent in gas and everything else

[@nhugh23]

Greed is literally a deadly sin. I am so sceptical of some of these US churches, I don't think they actually believe in God but the Almighty Dollar. I am not a religious person myself but even I know greed is frowned upon. Also, you're not saving money if you're driving multiple states to coupon. If you happened to be there on a trip, great, but actually getting into the car and driving to specifically go coupining would be insane and again, only feeds into greed.

[@RC-117]

Agreed 100% when she was referencing her friend possibly not liking couponing and she won’t like Jesus because of her addictive couponing habit, that GOD is not making her do, it’s her choice, and that is such a contradicting statement that’s why I don’t believe half of these church people they’re so full of it honestly they put on this façade, but; I feel they are truly living in the most sin out of everyone else and it’s just my opinion but these people are brainwashed and it shows the Lord loves us all differently and these people that are just stuck in the Stone Ages, and just don’t understand that.

[@mv1991]

You're sceptical about a church that preaches about coupons? No way.

[@Hannahbanana353]

Wow so if others coupon it’s cute but heaven forbid a Christian does it. She is “greedy” lol this world is upside down

[@_emilyharlow]

@@Hannahbanana353 - They are literally all greedy. How about she donate some of her massive hoards of items to those in need at her church instead of preaching about it? Dumb.

[@adrianagonzalez29]

I'm wondering if she lost some coupons. Did she count them or her items wrong? Did the coupons not double? Were some coupons stuck to each other as they were rung up? My main thing is why didn't she question it? Check the receipt or something? Cuz for someone who has saved soo much previously it seems off to me that she was off by so much this time around.

[@cwilliams526]

Exactly she should have checked the receipt right then and there

[@josiahandrews]

Saying,”teaching people to coupon, and teaching people about Jesus is the same.” Is so disrespectful and humiliating on so many levels

[@Havis_Princess]

There not the same but there good. If you calculate correctly you can save alot because you shoudlnt have to pay an absurd amount of money just for existing

[@msnos6245]

So sensitive

[@wiezyczkowata]

@@Havis_Princess it's absurd amount of money because extreme couponers abuse coupons and get a lot of things for free so manufacturers need to higher prices to get even, regular people get hurt by a handfull of greedy people

[@Havis_Princess]

@wiezyczkowata it's not abusing coupons, they have them there for free, they don't set limits that's the manufacturers fault. Don't make them available and unlimited

A little advice to everyone who has a dog DO NOT wash your dog with dish soap. Dish soap is not safe for dogs or can cause major skin problems. There are dog specific shampoos out there FOR A REASON

[@freyamccauley]

So cruel

[@imperfectsquirrel654]

That caught me off guard to however from what she showed the “dish soap“ was dawn which is multipurpose and so gentle they market it as safe for baby ducks during oil spills I use it every day as a hand wash it shouldn’t harm any animals unless they’re like sensitive frogs I just wouldn’t go around exclaiming it’s use on dogs u really should pay the little extra for pet certified shampoo but dawn is perfectly fine it’s usually the only one that wouldn’t irritate my dogs also don’t use it like every wash I only use that on my animals if they got themselves so dirty it’s harmful NOT to

[@bluecolumbine]

I did it one time when I was out of dog shampoo and never again! My poor girl was itching non stop I felt so bad. It was Castile soap. But I think it just dried out her skin like crazy.

[@carolchoquepuma1852]

I know she crazy people don't wash dog dish soap go to pets store buy shampoo

[@myrescuecats3028]

Yeah I wondered the same. It looked like a scripted or set up situation to me

[@momofseven7098]

I was thinking maybe she counted on overages (like from the toothbrushe) to cover some of the cost but was in a store that doesnt give overage.

[@sapphire22011]

@@momofseven7098 Doubt it. Most of the couponeres featured were so obsessive they knew their stores coupon policy down to the last details and checked them regularly. More likely the producers got the store to change the policy at the last minute to create drama. The did this in one other case I think the couponers name was Amber - only she rang the store to check for changes to policy (it seemed she did this every week as the policies can be changed within hours) and the storyline was a big hoo ha about her having to change her strategy last minute, but still got her shopping almost 100% free. They are SOOOOO obvious 😂😂😂 like SERIOUSLY what are the chances that the store is gonna change its coupon policy THE VERY DAY UR GONNA ROCK UP WITH A TV CREW?? I call bull💩💩💩
