+295 You have to feel bad for those grocery store employees in TLC's "Extreme Couponing". People are buying hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise at hundredths of the total merchandises' eclectic value. Sales Clerk: "You just saved 98% on your store purchase today. Thank you for decimating our staff's earnings." amirite?

And it sucks they take the whole inventory of stuff and most they dont need and let it sit around. Like taking all the advils, someone could need that, or getting all of someones toddlers favorite snacks and the toddler wont stop crying, or someone throwing a party and they take all the soda. Unless they donate the stuff or at least use it, they are hogs

Chances are they won't even use all of their purchases before half of them expire anyway.

(Chauncy Pickles): Yeah, like this one lady that bought cat food and didn't even have a cat, she could at least donate it to a starving cat.

I love how sometimes they use so many coupons, that the store owes THEM money.

I've seen that happen, I think it is ridicolous. This is why they put experation dates on coupons. Though I think it is small town or family owned grocery stores because this would never happen somewhere like where I live, the coupons expire in a week.

(Chauncy Pickles): Well there are lots of people hungry or homeless here so if the coupons expired in a year or later the stores will be broke.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

how will they be "broke"? Isn't it just a one-time coupon or USE UNTIL DATE SAYS EXPIRED?

but shouldn't it only be 1 coupon per purchase!? OR people would just conspire against them and add all their coupons up for free stuff.

That is basically the premise of the show.

The people on these shows are always buying vitamin water! It's like a glaceau monopoly or something!

The stores don't lose money with coupons. They turn around and give them to the makers of the products and get their money from them.

why is this in the Australia group

Somebody doesn't know how coupons work. If you read the fine print, you'd know that grocery stores actually make money every time a coupon is redeemed. And even if they didn't, grocery store employees aren't paid on commission. So good job getting the facts right!

The grocery store I work at won't give you money back if you use so many coupons that we 'owe' you money. If you get more groceries, we will put the money towards that, but we won't just give you cash or even store credit on a gift card. You can use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on 1 item, but not more than one of each. And you can only use 12 identical coupons per transaction. But besides that, there's not a rule to how many coupons you can use. It seems to work out pretty well.

How exactly do you use coupons so that the store owes you?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Manufactures coupons are most comonly used, and the company will reemburse the store the value of the coupon. That's why cashiers always save all of the coupons they get.

And that's why I never go shopping with my mom. I always feel so bad for the hassle she puts the cashier through.

I've never seen the TLC channel before, but it honestly sounds like it has some really stupid shows.
