So I not only hate the Extreme couponing show because they aren't teaching people a realistic approach to saving money, but I now hate it because I think it gives people that clip coupons a bad reputation of being hoarders. I seriously got stared down for buying 10 packs of capri suns. WHAT IF IT WAS FOR MY KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY OR SOMETHING??
I get asked at least once, even if I have only 10 coupons in my hand, "Are you one of those extreme couponers?" (in a very judgy, eye-rolly tone). Maybe they spotted my coupon binder... At first I didn't know how to respond because I thought I was extreme couponing compared to my life before coupons and then the show came out and I don't think I'm that extreme. I thought about saying I had 7 kids at home just so they'd think twice about pre-judging someones reasoning of using coupons and buying more than 1 of an item since it's at it's lowest price and I happen to have a coupon for each item I'm purchasing, but I don't wanna lie. So my genius response to them is "What is that?". Then they have to explain to me the crazy show and I say... "Oh wow, that's extreme!".
Ta-da!
