They really need counseling/medication.  They are just suffering from really bad OCD.  The amount of time they spend on this, they could have gotten a fucken job and actually pulled in a profit.

I don't watch it, but my girlfriend does.  I laugh at how these people waste time instead of getting jobs when their husbands are working to provide their mental instability.  Was walking though and saw an ex husband aiding his ex wife doing this shit, what a whipped idiot.

Would be smarter to buy cheap product in the first place if you ask me. I don't get the whole couponing thing.

Except one problem.  The amount of time is takes to actually collect and organize this crap. You would be better off actually having a job.  They think they are saving money, but wasting countless hours collecting and strategizing this obsession is actually costing them money.

You would flunk out of college.  They are dilusional and living in a fantasy world.  They are able to do this simply because they aren't spending their own money, only living off the work of their spouses.

What makes me laugh, is i know these insane people have remodeled their homes and bought bigger vehicles to be able to hold all this crap.  Exactly how much have they saved after doing those stupid things?

Pretty sure all it does is just knock the price on a lot of items down to a only a few cents... and also add extra items that are free, so you get what could be, say 10 boxes for the price of 1 or something, and then on that 1, knock the price down via a bunch of coupons to nearly nothing...

Whats funny is when they say how much they saved. One bitch saved 25000 dollars in 2 years.... think about it and if they got a job they would make more than that and have more spending money. instead they are stay at home moms to do that.
