Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey: Save Big Money & Make the Grocery Aisle your Catwalk!
If you’re like Web Watch, you watch a lot of television. And one of the more recent interesting series we’ve caught is TLC’s EXTREME COUPONING.
You know the show – it features shopping trips by couponing fanatics who are able to save 90% or more on their supermarket bill by careful planning and using coupons.
TLC’s cameras follow these proud hoarders around the store as they fill their shopping carts with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise that they’ll pay just cents on the dollar for – and then show us their “mini-marts” of storage at home, where they have enough cereal, bathroom supplies, and diapers to last for months or years without returning to the store ever again.
While Web Watch admires some of these coupon folks for using their shopping knowledge to supply charities or care packages for overseas troops, it’s those featured on the show that end up buying products that they’ll never use that really concerns us. One show featured a woman who had almost a year’s worth of diapers in her storage area – she’s not married, pregnant, or has any children of her own. She did this so she’ll be ready when that time comes.
Just what every baby needs to wear – disposable diapers that are five years older than they are.
