You guys probably have already seen this and I know this is merely impossible nowadays with the classic "1 coupon per customer" rule.
But genuinely curious, if this worked, how many of you would go this far and extreme?
Which One of You Would Go This Extreme?

Everyone needs a hobby.
Given she has a family of 10, i think she is justify to do so
but for a family of 2-4, nah
We were in Atlanta in 2001 and the coupons were in the Sunday paper. The local supermarket had a deal for buying two newspapers; presumably so the purchaser could get more coupons. Would go to the Macy’s sales and between the discounts, the coupons and the state taxes it was almost impossible to know the price until you got to the till.
When its the packs of chips or something for 25c, its good, but its junk food so its a false economy.
In this video she's buying stuff and actually getting paid for it, so yeah I wouldn't have any compunctions about doing it. I'd just treat it like a job tbh
Sucks to be the person queuing behind her
Depends on the product and ease of execution. Though knowing oz retailers, they'll apply some arbitrary reason to reject the coupon.
I wish god would give me coupons!
I am on the fence about these videos. I have seen a number of them, but always tend to think that the few extreme couponers are really just wasting resources. I mean, she has 800+ jars of baby food that will be binned, or the 12yo boy with 1000+ packs of tampons. These people get off on the thrill of scoring a coupon win, and after the haul is shown off to friends, family & TV stations, it is left to expire and then get tossed out. There is never a free lunch, somebody is always paying for it.
Most of the Extreme Couponing episodes are fake and only possible because the stores are manually overriding the system to allow it.
G.O.D. made her do it :/ ???
She bought over 100 of those heavily discounted pills, tipping the entire container into her trolley, leaving none for the next person. Ruins it for everybody else and selfish imo.
Why are stores paying people to take away goods? Bizarro.
She has so much stuff that has a short "best before" date or will deteriorate before she can use them. It seems so wasteful.
I couldn't work out the scanning thing. Can't you scan 1 and then input a qty?
Merged from Guy Spends $15 on $400 Worth of Groceries Using Coupons
YouTube clip of an extreme couponer in the US. Looks like he could give a lot of ozbargainers a run for their money.
Seems like we don't have this system of coupons for groceries in Australia? Is it due to it just being such a huge market over there and more competition in that sector?The coupons are insane, in America.
You could get a special deal on buying two copies of the Sunday paper, in Atlanta, so you could get twice the coupons.
I used to use the coupons to shop at Macey’s. By the time you got the 70% off discount, subtracted the coupon value and then added back in the state tax it was a crap shoot what the final figure would be.
The local grocery place, where I shopped, didn’t do coupons; but they did have specials, on some goods, if you had their loyalty card. Not sure why that hasn’t taken off over here.
This is apparently quite common in the US with stay at home members of family doing this. They do have more competition and focus on freebies rather than half-price/bogof deals there though.
The whole concept of getting money back for buying something on offer with a full price coupon discount would never happen here or UK.
