Couponing, to the extreme.

Yes, we all know about this new craze going around with coupons. I personally don't have the patience or time to get this done. I do clip coupons here and there when I see them though.

I am impressed by this don't get me wrong. But I can't help but wonder what the heck the stores or manufacturers are thinking. They have to watch this show and realize how fast this is taking on. They have got to be losing money with all of these coupons.

Think about this for a second. If everyone in america did this extreme couponing stores wouldn't get any profit. I wouldn't say that our economy would necessary be any worse off. But eventually it would all have to end. Advertising how to do this might very well be the downfall of coupons.

And another thing, who the heck wants 50 bottles of shampoo or 80 boxes of cereal at one time? I like to switch my shampoo up every now and then and I definitely switch my cereal up every other day or so.

These women must have mechanically challenged husbands too. Most of them store all their excess in their garage. I have a husband who loves cars and loves his garage. If I filled the walls of our garage with bars of soap and tooth paste I'm not sure I would have a happy husband.

Last little thing about this. I think TLC is confused. They have a show on extreme couponing where they teach you to buy in bulk and store things. Then they have a show about hoarding where they come to your house and throw everything away. Hello, make up your minds!
