    Default Extreme couponing

    Ok, so I posted the other day in photos about my wife wanting to watch extreme couponing. I went downstairs and cleaned my guns. So I just watched the show.....WTF!!! No wonder we are labeled as a wasteful nation. Who needs 1500 tubes of toothpaste???? And after that show a hoarding show came on, maybe they should combine the 2! Just saying!

    My impression was just that. Hoarders with shelves.

    Just another "Reality Show" with dysfunctional asswipes for "actors". Just another reason to stay in my shop and work.
    My wife likes to watch a few of them and I swear when I walk by the tv I hear brain cells exploding.

    If I want to watch dysfunctional people all I need to do is drive down I-25.

    Would be nice to know where these people are so that those of us who hoard guns will know where to go after the SHTF
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I gree that the Extreme Couponing show seemed to be little more than "hoarders with shelves", but I agree with the concept in general. To get some of the bargains they get you have to buy during the season the items are on sale (all items have "seasons" where the best deals are available) - even if you don't need the item (or as many of the item) at a particular time.

    With all of that said, 1500 tubes of toothpaste is ridiculous. My wife has recently been working to get more and more into the whole "extreme couponing". Just 2 weeks ago she took advantage of a combination sale and coupon where she had 10 coupons for $1.00 off COlgate toothpaste. COmbined with the sale @ Wally World for said toothpaste @ $0.97/tube, she actually got 10 tunes for FREE with 3 cents per tube (30 cents total) reduced from another item she bought. It will probably take just over a year for us to use all of this toothpaste, but we will use all of it and 1 year stock isn't bad - 1500 tubes is nuts!

    I agree with the donations! I would be cooler if he had 4 tubes of toothpaste and donated the other 1,496!

    I'm glad I don't watch tv. I think of all the time spent on it, and I wonder how people can watch tv 5 hours a night.

    Today I went to school, cleaned and vacuumed my car, did 20 series problems, calc II!, and I'm finishing up a 7 page biography on Ben Bernanke. I did all that in addition to watching porn and playing some GTA IV.
