Apr 06, 2011 19:59:18 That's... impressive. I wonder how often she can pull that off though. Is it a weekly power? I can't imagine it's a daily.

Apr 06, 2011 20:05:33 I was just watching the show on TV before I looked up the youtube video. She does it every time she goes to the market. She also helps other shoppers. She had nothing on another guy they showed. He bought 1100 boxes of cereal worth about $5,000.00, and he paid about $240 for it.

Not sure, but the guy who bought all the cereal gives a lot of the stuff he buys to his local food bank. I'm not sure how often this lady goes to the store. I wasn't listening at first.

Apr 07, 2011 10:33:52 This sounds like very bad marketing on behalf of the stores... you shouldn't be able to stack them like that

Apr 07, 2011 10:40:31 It's not bad for the stores. They get paid by the manufacturers for coupons, and store coupons are intended to boost sales of specific items (usually the ones that have high profit-margines, or those that are over-stocked).

Maybe you should go shop at the 4E supermarket

Apr 07, 2011 11:20:44 Yes, but the 4E supermarket doesn't let you stack so many coupons together. That way everyone is balanced out. You may be fat, but it's o.k., everyone else will be fat with you.

Ah ok, that makes it less bad marketing. At least for the supermarkets

Down here all the sales are issued by the supermarkets themselves and there's not really coupons you can use for discounts.

Some forms have always been I think.

If she's got a husband and a couple of teenage boys, probably biweekly at least. Food ain't cheap and teen boys eat the **** out of some food. I know, my mom used to complain about it daily and we'd get in trouble for eating stuff that wasn't designated for us (as in, it was designated for my dad's lunch or something like that) when we ran out of stuff that was. Heh. And my brother and I still managed to be thin, too. Yay.
