its cute how she and her dad do it together

[@dorcascristy601]

This seems like a sweet family, and she had the self-awareness to realize she had a shopping problem, and was able to redirect that into sustainable and more constructive methods.

[@willowenchant7524]

Honestly, if coupons were readily available like this here in Australia, I'd be doing the exact same thing. Why not save money? Lol

[@pussiriffic]

Same.

[@pippetandpossum]

Because first, things you actually want/need are not going to be the coupons you're finding. You're going to be getting mostly processed food and in brands and/or flavors you didn't even want. Second, with the amount of time you have to spend doing it you could just get a part time job or hobby job to make the money "saved" by couponing. Time is money.

[@livybug6890]

[@mariacherrington8825]

How do you even start a stockpile n coupling??? I've never been able to figure it out

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Lol I don’t understand why people have an issue with couponers. They seemed kind & friendly, they always over exaggerate on this show any way, but generally speaking they were polite & patient which as an ex checkout worker goes a long way. Having said that, we’re no longer fortunate to have the use of many coupons now in supermarkets, ive always had an itch to want to do this on an extreme level just to experience it! I think companies charge extortionate money for groceries in the US, nice to see people thinking ahead & getting something back ‘for free’ - many donate too which is nice :)

[@Vicki1930]

The cost of all of these types of goods, ie. toilet paper, soap, shampoo, cleaners, etc. that these chains charge covers the cost of the coupons they publish that people spend hours cutting and saving and then using. There is no real savings. It’s advertising, and feeds people’s obsession with shopping, like this woman said. It’s a scam and these people are addicted and hoarding. I am not sure why these “couponers” haven’t figured this out yet.

There is another episode of this same family. But framed in a different way. Where the Grandparents are "put to the test" as if they don't know what they are doing.Interesting to find the episode and see how they made two out of one family.

[@ravenbaa7989]

That grandma is annoying and didn’t need her scooter

[@amyrivers4093]

We don't have coupons as such in my country so the fact that you can get free food or reduced food amazes me. I think I've done well if I get things that I regularly buy on special. I get a few of the same item so that it works out that buy enough to see me through to when it is on special again (you get to know how often an item is on special each year). I say good on you to this family, your commitment is commendable.

[@kkoup35]

I’m in the US - I use coupons but am lucky to save more than $2 or $3 on each trip (but I’ll take it - a savings is a savings). To get to THIS level of couponing takes HOURS of work. And notice how most of the stuff they buy is processed - all sugar. That’s why they are all FAT. Some of the stuff they buy will expire before they are able to eat it. In the end it’s just gross and wasteful.

[@amyrivers4093]

@@kkoup35 I can imagine that to coupon to this extent would be like a full time job. I do think that something is only a bargain if you need it. I also think that as long as no one else gets hurt then people can choose how they live. I have seen a few couponing videos where people don't leave any stock on the shelf and I feel that is not fair and that large quantities should be pre ordered. I'm not going to comment on what people look like because it's no one else's business.

I live in Sweden and don’t understand the system but it is entertaining. I saw one cuponer that bought dogfood but don’t have a dog… just wanted a nice stockpile maybe?

[@stephaniespragg5586]

Or maybe they were donating them to the rehoming shelter? Whenever I have coupons for pet food/pet treats I buy the products with the coupons and then donate them to the rehoming shelter. I also do the same with coupons for foodbank items (cupboard food, toiletries, baby items) that I’m not likely to use - buy the products with the coupons and then donate them to the foodbank

[@annaranstett9669]

@@stephaniespragg5586 hope it was like that. Then it make sense and the dogs are Happy 😀

[@Freakin_Fabulous]

In the US we have food pantries for animals like humans do for food. I'm betting is where they donated the items. At the Pet Food Pantries people can get things like dog & cat food, treats, cat litter, often pet bird foods, fish food, and sometimes even small mammal foods, reptile foods and carefresh or wood shaving bedding. The Pet Food Pantries rely on private donations for a large majority of their goods.
