Extreme couponing

[Sandra6]

Has anyone watched this??? I am stunned by it!
Basically it's shopping (in America of course) using coupons so that you don't actually pay anything!!
The woman on today is using the coupons to buy food to donate to a charity.
The part I don't get is that at the end the supermarket end up owing them money?! How does that work??
Even if you had enough buy this free coupons for every item in your trolley, how would that end up in them giving you $2?!
Bizarre.
Where do I get these coupons?!

I watched one where she bought all her party food which should have cost about 700 dollars and she got the whole lot of 3 dollars, but each coupon had to be done one at a time and ended up being over 80 transactions lol

You're the one watching it - why don't you tell us!

I do like the idea of being paid to take shopping away with me, so if you work it out, be sure to update us!

We invented a new reality show only today - "Can't find the door! " in which people are filled trying to find entrances to places which are a bit hard to locate - you know, where the door is roof the side of the building, or the street numbering is unusual.

How about 'Musical Thrones'? All contestants are force-fed laxatives and then have to run about a studio containing N-1 toilets, until the music stops ...

I thought that it was a really good idea, but my friends think it is just a load of crap!

How about..."Is this Arsene Wenger's Bottom or Not?" where celebrities poke their bum cheeks through a suitably-sized wooden frame, and Johnny (or Jane) Public has to guess whether or not it is actually the bottom of Arsene Wenger. He would clearly need to be contracted for the whole series, and have a different bottom for each episode. The audience can hold up cards suggesting 'yes' or 'no' as an aid to the contestants.

I could probably get a part in that.

I've always thought they should do a "fly on the wall" documentary about the customer loading bay at Ikea.

We have watched as a fella tried to put a whole flat pack wardrobe into a 2 seat sports car, and then appeared surprised that there was nowhere for him to sit........

Maybe call it "Flat Pack Wallies" or something....

It's highly unlikely that Arsenal would agree to Arsene's arse being arsed around.

I hope there's no tv producers reading this thread!
How about a fly on the wall doc about a fly...
