I grew up in an affluent town on long Island, working in a grocery store in highschool I saw most people driving Mercedes and jaguars using coupons. Changed my perspective on money at an early age. was great to see there's NO shame in saving money.
How many of those coupon carrying Mercedes driving folks seemed happy to you? I have found money and the pursuit of it for money's sake does not at all equal nor does it deliver happiness. However being aware and frugal is intelligent behavior and lead towards the freedom to go and do the things that make you happy.

Been married over 20 years. Back when my husband and I were young and broke, I used to do extreme couponing. I’d pay almost nothing for an entire cart full. It took hours of prep, but I was super proud, until I noticed how my husbands pants size kept going up and up and up and up, and then I realized that everything that I was getting for practically nothing was pure trash.
why do you think there is no extreme couponing in countries with free healthcare? feeding yourself garbage is only supporting the capitalization of health.
as a retail worker i always like helping scan coupons bc i know how hard stuff can be financially nowadays, i always like to reassure them that i’ll help and if i need backup i ask
I used to work in cosmetics at Walgreens. We clearanced some Kate Moss Rimmel makeup. That with my discount and coupons.... I saved 99.89% AND I got 25,000 points AND I got Catalina coupons worth $10.00 not only did THEY pay ME to take that makeup I MADE money
Lots of cashiers don't like it. I had coworkers straight up huff at customers for pulling out coupons. I never cared because I was curious at how the total would be after lol
lesson, she spent 20 hours searching for and clipping those coupons. She could have done a side hustle and made 4x what she saved. Don't get me wrong extreme couponing is a full-time job and the amount you save is equal to like $5/hr. The companies don't even care because the amount you buy reduces the losses on the amount thrown out (grocery stores have a lot of food waste.)
Not to mention the weeks of clipping while paying for non-couponed groceries costing tons of money. It's not saving anything. The house always wins, just less on some than others.
I haven’t couponed in a decade because the coupons became useless, nothing we could use etc. but back when I did have access to decent ones mixed with putting in the work, my greatest win was the total ending in the store owning me 63 cents. Don’t even know how they happened but they couldn’t give it to me because of policy which is fine of course I got my stuff for free😂
Yeah. I remember searching for good coupons in the Sunday paper and finding a bunch of good ones. Now, it's brands I don't like, products I'll never buy, and ads for bullshit scams (e.g. coin collections)
I actually did that twice where the store owed me money back after coupons and deals. That was back in the heydey of couponing and beer rebates. I miss the good old days. 😢
A lot of coupons seem to have restrictions to prevent this sort of thing, like minimum purchase amounts. Like get 25% off a jar of peanut butter with a $25 regular purchase. I always check the coupons but most of the time just price shop and watch sales, and go to a few different stores if I have to.
That man behind her in line is me all day. At first irritated then seeing the price constantly drop a slight smile forms on my lips and I cry in cheap dad/husband tears 😂😂😂
I'm not from America. I only see that on the clips. Can you tell me where you get those coupons from? Why doesn't everybody collect them if you can save so much?
@@UntotesSchafYou can get coupons from ads in flyers or off the Internet specifically for certain stores or restaurants. Despite what this shows, most coupons are under a dollar. I use coupons, but most are for items I don't buy. There's also the catch 22 printed on most coupons "Not valid with other offers". This prevents what this clip shows. If it didn't, there would be far more people doing what this shopper did. The companies would lose too much money.
My ex wife and I would cut coupons out every Sunday and she had a coupon catty that told her what food groups went where , when we went to the grocery store she saved so much money , the Manager would have to approve her order and give her back a nice bit of paper money
To anyone wondering, the movie is called Never Give Up, and the director's name is Astley Richards. There's an amazing 3 minute supercut on RUclips that is an absolute must see. It has over a billion views for a reason
The fun fact is, anyone who is extremely into coupons is also at least a middle class citizen with a LOT of time on their hands. The actual secret to wealth is exactly contrary, watch the dollars and big expenditures like car loan, taxes and mortgage, and you would not need to worry about the cents
This is what a traditional housewife does. My stay at home mom did this and it saved our family tons of money in the 80s and 90's. The coupons were in the newspaper back then. We had ups and downs in the economy back then as well.
I remember watching an extreme couponing show where one lady was extremely proud to say that she spends 40 hours a week employing her and her kids to go as far as dumpster diving for coupons to save as much as $200 to $300 per week on groceries and household items. I just don’t understand that mindset.
@@MrPloppy1if you don't understand it, allow me to explain it for you; They are stupid. Case closed. Having a job for that 40 hours instead would have paid far more than the meagre savings.
@@Santor- its not an apples to apples comparison unless that job is their own business, which defeats the purpose of your analogy anyway. Having a job means you're obligated to spend 40 hours working for someone else. Sure they may make more money, but they undoubtedly have less freedom. The 40 hours spent collecting coupons is spare time done when they want, how they want. Not everything is about maximizing every dollar possible, mental health matters almost as much when you have the freedom to choose time over money.
Dressed up like this, she reminds me waaaay too much of my ex. 🤢 [Although, ironically, my ex was the opposite of a couponer.] I'll take 'Happy Place' version, though!
Exactly! I think it's hilarious, a full time job where you get paid 100 every week...it's almost like they're trying to waste everyone's time on earth haha
In 2004 before becoming a butcher, I worked as a cashier in a grocery store and the amount of money people saved by using coupons always astounded me. One time a lady had $500 worth the stuff and then whipped out her little purse baggie full if coupons and by the time I was done scanning them (and yes others in the line were just as annoyed in this video) her total had come down to just over $100. The trick for grocery stores accepting coupons isnt to give you big deals like that, its to keep you coming back to that exact store and thats why some grocery stores do the thing where they match coupons. A box of Taco Shells may cost $3.49, and a $1 off coupon brings it down to $2.49 and sometimes the store will take off an additional.50 cents but they only paid like .35 cents per box in bulk so they’re still making profit margin. Don’t be afraid to use coupons, thisnis how some families can afford vacations bynthe money they save.
They could get more people coming back by getting rid of coupons altogether and just lowering prices. Undercut those taco shells to $1. It's still .65 profit, is less than competitors coupon price, and reduces wait times in lines. On top of not needing to pay employees to ring up sales because of all the self checkouts, they could make a killing. but greedy corporate America will be greedy, charge MORE for food, and make YOU scan your own shit while some pot head stares at you in case they need to scan a card to overwrite some error.
I don’t believe this is viable nowadays. There was a point in time when it was, but now most coupons have terms that put restrictions, not to mention traditional coupons have all but died out. Shortly after shows like “extreme couponing” came out a bunch of people started doing this and companies got wise to it really quick.
@@AidenWarren I don’t believe there’s any state law that prohibits companies from putting conditions on their coupons or forces companies to offer coupons? If you yourself or someone you personally know is still able to save hundreds of dollars at the grocery store and would like to share what state you or they are in, by all means please share. I’ve lived in three states within the last 4 years and other than advertising sales, finding physical coupons is extremely difficult and when I do they all say things like “limit one coupon per customer” and “cannot be combined with any other coupons.” In order to prevent stuff like this. I’m not saying I agree with companies doing this, ideally no one would have to because groceries wouldn’t cost so much, but alas we don’t live in an ideal world.
Its still very much viable. Except you no longer go to newspapers or magazines for coupons. It's all online now. The store webpages usually have their own coupons and various products will have them on their separate websites. Note that is is a traditional stay at home mom whose job is to do this kind of thing and save the family money.
Dude is payed to stand and scan stuff. Whats the difference if its groceries or coupons? Its not like he gets bonuses for cashing out the most people. The only people inconvenienced are the ones waiting in line.
He's not awarded for cashing out more people, but some stores keep track of how long he takes per person and he could be penalized if his average is too low.
And let's not forget that the people waiting in line just death stare the cashier. That's not comfortable at all. He was probably anticipating the frustration
Let me tell you my experience as cashier: 1) People in the line might burn their eyes on you 2) God forgive you if one coupon of these people doesn't work as they want 3) There are times when uppers will eye on the cashier's performance. You attended less people compared to other cashiers because someone thinks they are fooling corpos? Uh Oh 4) If bad customers notice you getting annoyed they will try to pull this again on you specifically 5) Slight chance of getting problems with superiors Amitabha...
@@allisoncastle Why assume Eagle-eye-pie is talking about the actor personally, and not the character he was acting as, being void of empathy, and good manners in the scene?
What happens in reality: The cashier scans all 100 coupons, and then the customer gets all pissy when only 3 work since the rest are either expired or the purchase does not meet the requirements
I read about a guy who was known for very thoroughly using coupons to save large sums of money. He mentioned in the interview though that, though it was habitual for him now, from his experience, it’s a very time consuming activity to gather the correct coupons and use them in the stipulated time frames for stuff you actually need for the house, lot of searching, planning and calculating involved every week (if you’re trying to save 100s and 100s of dollars, that is), so in his opinion that’s the reason why more people don’t coupon so extensively.
My late fiancé did this. Believe it or not it seriously works. Not as well as this movie makes it out to be but it does end up saving a lot of money on groceries which can add up quick. I worked full time and she worked part time but did couponing on her off time while I was at work lmao I considered her couponing to be a whole other job because of how much money it saved us
I finished paying my mortgage this summer by using this method. Everyone who keeps saying that I'm rich are spending large amounts for useless stuff or poorly shopped travels. I'm not rich, I'm clever
I've been on both sides of the register.. I do appreciate the fact that she only had the ones for the items she was getting. I've literally had a customer come in with an entire binder. I also like the fact that the cashier handed her the receipt and said here's your trophy.
worked cashier at Walmart grocer, between the coupons and price matching these people can be psycho, I'd turn off my lane light if certain customers showed up so they wouldn't get a line behind them doing price matches
There was a woman in my town who was obsessed about these coupons. The staff would raise a flag whenever she showed up to warn other customers. Then, we would go to other lines, and she proudly showcased how many coupons she could present. 😅
Seriously, people don't realize if she spent more than 5 or 6 hours looking for those coupons, clipping them, and buying the exact product...she actually lost money. I watched a documentary one time about how this lady spent 60 hours a week and bought all these newspapers for the coupons to save money on 40 tubes of toothpaste and a few hundred rolls of TP...but if she just worked a normal job, she could afford her normal quantity of items without coupons and 20 hours of ' overtime' every week. 🤣 I swear....I'm not going to stop them. When you see a clown, just be sure to laugh at them and enjoy your day even more.
Sooo, I had to giggle really hard when seeing this, my father did this, I don't know where he got these free coupons, but he would literally get 100 dollars in groceries just having to pay the tax on the coupon items, final bill would be maybe 10 dollars...... People behind him were stunned..... It was embarrassing for me, I was a kid... People were staring at us... But so funny as I remember back.
I used to work at Walmart and those people were such a pain. Especially because a quarter or the coupons didn't work. Also there was a show about this and they literally spent all day finding coupons. Im like it you can spend 8 hours a day finding coupons then you can get a job
They hardly offer things like this anymore because of these very people. Most coupons are non-stack or limited use (such as $4 off ice cream, limit 2 per customer).
@@dxtrro6939Start a Coupons Only Store.. put in machines that will read a coupon only once. Let the customers process them. That will knock a dent in the big players' pockets because they make money off coupons. And why do they have cashiers, if not to Happily serve customers.?
For fast food, I tend to use the ones that are BOGO. Got lucky one time with Arby's, where the regular burger was priced at ~$3.25, they had a special on for 4 for $10, and I had a 5 for $5 coupon. I was surprised they accepted the coupon.
I hate situation like this. In my country there are coupons, stickers, discounts in mobile apps, people collect some stupid teddy bears for this and other shit... And you are waiting and waiting because you just want to SHOPPING!!!
This is like extreme couponers on TLC. Remember that show but the only difference was the woman didn't have to pay anything and they nearly cleaned out the supermarket.
This wouldn't happen in the UK....most places won't allow customers to use multiple offers, as the EPOS tills are designed to flag these up and deduct the best offer.

Actually, this reflects the real Kirsten Bell. Years ago, in an interview, she revealed that she uses coupons because it did not make sense to pay more. Kudos to her!!!
In case the 30,000 days caught your attention, thats about 82.1918 years. I dont think thats THAT lucky, in this age our society should be living at least to 100. If youre lucky you can live 36,500 days on this planet or even 37,000 😊 Heres to a future of even more 🥂
If you consider the average lifespan in most countries, 82 is above that most of the time with few exceptions (like Japan). So that can be called 'lucky', I guess.
If you’re truly lucky you WON’T make it that far. Sure there are a few rare exceptions but if you saw the people of that age in my parents’ facility and what life is like for them you wouldn’t call them lucky. Incognizant, drooling on one’s self in a wheelchair, having someone change your diapers, eating mechanically ground food that looks like slop every meal, having zero control of your life and being stuck in place you’ll never get out of..that’s not lucky. And that’s not going to be me. No way! I have several options in mind for when that time draws near
Years ago in Maryland I had 4 major grocery stores, all within 2 miles from my home & I used to save over half of my grocery bill using double coupons. My husband used to laugh & tell me things aren't that bad, you have to resort to cutting coupons until 1 day he was with me shopping 😅 When he saw my grocery bill go from $200 down to $90. 👀 The look on his face was priceless Lol. ( This is a Movie on Netflix called Queen pins ) Kristen Bell is in it, of course 🌸
You know, these couponers could talk to a manager before they use their thousand coupons and the Manager would probably arrange to have a separate lane for them so nobody is rudely inconvenienced. I was putting my stuff on the cart and some woman whipped out 100 coupons. The store sent two or three guys over and they moved all my stuff to another Lane amazingly fast.
When I was a young wife I learned to use coupons and rebates and once paid sixty dollars for an order that came to over three hundred dollars (holiday meals). Our market had two lines reserved for couponers. Unfortunately, as I have gotten older, I have gotten out of the habit. Great scene.❤

Been married over 20 years. Back when my husband and I were young and broke, I used to do extreme couponing. I’d pay almost nothing for an entire cart full. It took hours of prep, but I was super proud, until I noticed how my husbands pants size kept going up and up and up and up, and then I realized that everything that I was getting for practically nothing was pure trash.
If it’s free you are the product, good products often doesn’t need discounts, they are probably priced well.
why do you think there is no extreme couponing in countries with free healthcare?
feeding yourself garbage is only supporting the capitalization of health.
@@sakatababaEXACTLY! :(
@@sa34w Or are too expensive but if you can afford them, they are actually priced appropriately for the quality.
Your husband need to lose weight, madam..not the coupon's, free food fault 😂😂😂
What's really impressive is when you actually get money back!
as a retail worker i always like helping scan coupons bc i know how hard stuff can be financially nowadays, i always like to reassure them that i’ll help and if i need backup i ask
Yeah if u are paid hourly u are still working the same amount of time so there is no downside to helping out families save money.
He calls her out later for calling manufactures and bitching to get free stuff..it's satisfying lol
Self checkout + integrity; I'm not about to be "that guy" to some cashier
Good for you. A lot of service workers are such babies about stuff like this.
You'll ask but they're not hiring anyone to come help
Literally not one cashier gives a fuck about scanning coupons.
i’ve seen some that do 🤷🏻♀️
In the movie, she’s a regular there, and he constantly has to scan all of her coupons. I could see why he was annoyed!
What movie is it? And yeah, i had one that was pissed right off.
I used to work in cosmetics at Walgreens. We clearanced some Kate Moss Rimmel makeup. That with my discount and coupons.... I saved 99.89% AND I got 25,000 points AND I got Catalina coupons worth $10.00 not only did THEY pay ME to take that makeup I MADE money
Lots of cashiers don't like it. I had coworkers straight up huff at customers for pulling out coupons. I never cared because I was curious at how the total would be after lol
lesson, she spent 20 hours searching for and clipping those coupons. She could have done a side hustle and made 4x what she saved. Don't get me wrong extreme couponing is a full-time job and the amount you save is equal to like $5/hr. The companies don't even care because the amount you buy reduces the losses on the amount thrown out (grocery stores have a lot of food waste.)
Not to mention the weeks of clipping while paying for non-couponed groceries costing tons of money. It's not saving anything. The house always wins, just less on some than others.

@jamest3552 ? I'm confused how that has anything to do with this.
@@deannaalbert672 People glorifying horrible people.
That’s why most places limit the amount of coupons you can use on one purchase
I haven’t couponed in a decade because the coupons became useless, nothing we could use etc. but back when I did have access to decent ones mixed with putting in the work, my greatest win was the total ending in the store owning me 63 cents. Don’t even know how they happened but they couldn’t give it to me because of policy which is fine of course I got my stuff for free😂
Yeah. I remember searching for good coupons in the Sunday paper and finding a bunch of good ones. Now, it's brands I don't like, products I'll never buy, and ads for bullshit scams (e.g. coin collections)
I actually did that twice where the store owed me money back after coupons and deals. That was back in the heydey of couponing and beer rebates. I miss the good old days. 😢
Making fake coupons was great too. Ah discounted game consoles from Walmart lol
A lot of coupons seem to have restrictions to prevent this sort of thing, like minimum purchase amounts. Like get 25% off a jar of peanut butter with a $25 regular purchase. I always check the coupons but most of the time just price shop and watch sales, and go to a few different stores if I have to.
The missing context here is that all of those coupons are forged. She and her girlfriends get into major legal trouble over their fake coupon ring.
That man behind her in line is me all day. At first irritated then seeing the price constantly drop a slight smile forms on my lips and I cry in cheap dad/husband tears 😂😂😂
I’ve never saved that much but I have impressed even cashiers. Coupons people! Life is expensive. It’s worth it!!
I'm not from America. I only see that on the clips. Can you tell me where you get those coupons from? Why doesn't everybody collect them if you can save so much?
@@UntotesSchafYou can get coupons from ads in flyers or off the Internet specifically for certain stores or restaurants. Despite what this shows, most coupons are under a dollar. I use coupons, but most are for items I don't buy. There's also the catch 22 printed on most coupons "Not valid with other offers". This prevents what this clip shows. If it didn't, there would be far more people doing what this shopper did. The companies would lose too much money.
How do you find coupons in 2024? I miss clipping coupons growing up as a kid.
My ex wife and I would cut coupons out every Sunday and she had a coupon catty that told her what food groups went where , when we went to the grocery store she saved so much money , the Manager would have to approve her order and give her back a nice bit of paper money
@@ariellel6123 Online through apps and occasionally in the flyers that show up in the mail box. The flyers are becoming few and far between.
As a Couponer: Nobody ever reacts impressed. 😂
When you take your bill down by half, we're impressed and slightly jealous as well as annoyed by the wait. You just won't know about it.
Did you cut the bill in half? Definitely can’t go with a couple coupons. Need the hammer of fiscal justice for impressiveness.

@@MNesibeNYC Are you a lady?

To anyone wondering, the movie is called Never Give Up, and the director's name is Astley Richards. There's an amazing 3 minute supercut on RUclips that is an absolute must see. It has over a billion views for a reason
The fun fact is, anyone who is extremely into coupons is also at least a middle class citizen with a LOT of time on their hands. The actual secret to wealth is exactly contrary, watch the dollars and big expenditures like car loan, taxes and mortgage, and you would not need to worry about the cents
This is what a traditional housewife does. My stay at home mom did this and it saved our family tons of money in the 80s and 90's. The coupons were in the newspaper back then. We had ups and downs in the economy back then as well.
I remember watching an extreme couponing show where one lady was extremely proud to say that she spends 40 hours a week employing her and her kids to go as far as dumpster diving for coupons to save as much as $200 to $300 per week on groceries and household items. I just don’t understand that mindset.
@@randallsanchez3161 we still have ups and downs in the economy lol wtf
@@MrPloppy1if you don't understand it, allow me to explain it for you; They are stupid. Case closed.
Having a job for that 40 hours instead would have paid far more than the meagre savings.
@@Santor- its not an apples to apples comparison unless that job is their own business, which defeats the purpose of your analogy anyway. Having a job means you're obligated to spend 40 hours working for someone else. Sure they may make more money, but they undoubtedly have less freedom. The 40 hours spent collecting coupons is spare time done when they want, how they want. Not everything is about maximizing every dollar possible, mental health matters almost as much when you have the freedom to choose time over money.

Movie name?
In 2004 before becoming a butcher, I worked as a cashier in a grocery store and the amount of money people saved by using coupons always astounded me. One time a lady had $500 worth the stuff and then whipped out her little purse baggie full if coupons and by the time I was done scanning them (and yes others in the line were just as annoyed in this video) her total had come down to just over $100. The trick for grocery stores accepting coupons isnt to give you big deals like that, its to keep you coming back to that exact store and thats why some grocery stores do the thing where they match coupons. A box of Taco Shells may cost $3.49, and a $1 off coupon brings it down to $2.49 and sometimes the store will take off an additional.50 cents but they only paid like .35 cents per box in bulk so they’re still making profit margin. Don’t be afraid to use coupons, thisnis how some families can afford vacations bynthe money they save.
They could get more people coming back by getting rid of coupons altogether and just lowering prices. Undercut those taco shells to $1. It's still .65 profit, is less than competitors coupon price, and reduces wait times in lines. On top of not needing to pay employees to ring up sales because of all the self checkouts, they could make a killing. but greedy corporate America will be greedy, charge MORE for food, and make YOU scan your own shit while some pot head stares at you in case they need to scan a card to overwrite some error.
I don’t believe this is viable nowadays. There was a point in time when it was, but now most coupons have terms that put restrictions, not to mention traditional coupons have all but died out. Shortly after shows like “extreme couponing” came out a bunch of people started doing this and companies got wise to it really quick.
It still is, unless you have been to every state :)
@@AidenWarren I don’t believe there’s any state law that prohibits companies from putting conditions on their coupons or forces companies to offer coupons?
If you yourself or someone you personally know is still able to save hundreds of dollars at the grocery store and would like to share what state you or they are in, by all means please share. I’ve lived in three states within the last 4 years and other than advertising sales, finding physical coupons is extremely difficult and when I do they all say things like “limit one coupon per customer” and “cannot be combined with any other coupons.” In order to prevent stuff like this.
I’m not saying I agree with companies doing this, ideally no one would have to because groceries wouldn’t cost so much, but alas we don’t live in an ideal world.
@@ConstantlyEvolvingDoor look it all up to know for sure, I've been to several states.
This film is based on a true story.
Its still very much viable. Except you no longer go to newspapers or magazines for coupons. It's all online now. The store webpages usually have their own coupons and various products will have them on their separate websites.
Note that is is a traditional stay at home mom whose job is to do this kind of thing and save the family money.
@@ConstantlyEvolvingDoor we live in a very critical idea world!
Ideal is the problem with the world.
" your trophy " he knows the game too well
Dude was like “I should have never stopped delivering pizzas”!!! 😂
Dude is payed to stand and scan stuff. Whats the difference if its groceries or coupons? Its not like he gets bonuses for cashing out the most people. The only people inconvenienced are the ones waiting in line.
He's not awarded for cashing out more people, but some stores keep track of how long he takes per person and he could be penalized if his average is too low.
And let's not forget that the people waiting in line just death stare the cashier. That's not comfortable at all. He was probably anticipating the frustration
He would be happier if he had a chair to sit on.
Let me tell you my experience as cashier:
1) People in the line might burn their eyes on you
2) God forgive you if one coupon of these people doesn't work as they want
3) There are times when uppers will eye on the cashier's performance. You attended less people compared to other cashiers because someone thinks they are fooling corpos? Uh Oh
4) If bad customers notice you getting annoyed they will try to pull this again on you specifically
5) Slight chance of getting problems with superiors

What happens in reality: The cashier scans all 100 coupons, and then the customer gets all pissy when only 3 work since the rest are either expired or the purchase does not meet the requirements
I read about a guy who was known for very thoroughly using coupons to save large sums of money. He mentioned in the interview though that, though it was habitual for him now, from his experience, it’s a very time consuming activity to gather the correct coupons and use them in the stipulated time frames for stuff you actually need for the house, lot of searching, planning and calculating involved every week (if you’re trying to save 100s and 100s of dollars, that is), so in his opinion that’s the reason why more people don’t coupon so extensively.
"Here's ur trophy"
Funny how the guy behind her was annoyed at first but impressed by the end 😂
And the guy behind him was still annoyed.
My late fiancé did this. Believe it or not it seriously works. Not as well as this movie makes it out to be but it does end up saving a lot of money on groceries which can add up quick. I worked full time and she worked part time but did couponing on her off time while I was at work lmao I considered her couponing to be a whole other job because of how much money it saved us
If you want to be rich, use your wisdom, work hard, gain knowledge, and live like you're poor. You'll suddenly realize you have became rich.
It's called survivorship bias. Outcomes are random.
interesting theory

Hard work doesn’t have anything to do with money getting.
I finished paying my mortgage this summer by using this method. Everyone who keeps saying that I'm rich are spending large amounts for useless stuff or poorly shopped travels.
I'm not rich, I'm clever
I've been on both sides of the register.. I do appreciate the fact that she only had the ones for the items she was getting. I've literally had a customer come in with an entire binder. I also like the fact that the cashier handed her the receipt and said here's your trophy.
She gave him like 20 coupons. He scanned more than 100. 😂😂😂
He scanned 20 five times each. That's how she saved so much.
I loved extreme couponers when I was a cashier took a lot of time and made my shift faster
Plus you know the people in line aren't pissed at YOU, Lol.
"change....you're trophy." 😂
worked cashier at Walmart grocer, between the coupons and price matching these people can be psycho, I'd turn off my lane light if certain customers showed up so they wouldn't get a line behind them doing price matches
Walmart price matches? How so?
I used to work at an Albertsons. I did the same thing.
There was a woman in my town who was obsessed about these coupons. The staff would raise a flag whenever she showed up to warn other customers. Then, we would go to other lines, and she proudly showcased how many coupons she could present. 😅

And she wasted a big fraction of those 30,000 days by collecting and using these coupons 😂
Seriously, people don't realize if she spent more than 5 or 6 hours looking for those coupons, clipping them, and buying the exact product...she actually lost money. I watched a documentary one time about how this lady spent 60 hours a week and bought all these newspapers for the coupons to save money on 40 tubes of toothpaste and a few hundred rolls of TP...but if she just worked a normal job, she could afford her normal quantity of items without coupons and 20 hours of ' overtime' every week. 🤣

Queenpins (one word), movie based on a true story about a woman who commits mass-fraud with fraudulent coupons to make millions of dollars.
The only thing on my mind: Kristen bell still looks good...
I used to work at Walmart and those people were such a pain. Especially because a quarter or the coupons didn't work. Also there was a show about this and they literally spent all day finding coupons. Im like it you can spend 8 hours a day finding coupons then you can get a job
That receipt was longer than the long chain of orange tickets you get for playing the prize machine at the arcade😂
I understand the proper etiquette is to lead with the fact of having coupons to manage expectations.
I wish this was one longer video. Other than that I love the content!
Here in 13 minutes, when I'm an adult I should save and use coupons lol
