In addition to stealing coupons and the ridiculousness of hoarding, if you incorrectly use coupons, you're stealing from the store you're using them at. Some people would say, so what? It's a corporation, they have billions! But sometimes? The difference in cost for those mistakes comes out of the cashier's pay check, or effects the bonuses employees receive, and often depend on, to make ends meet for their own families. <br /><br />Stop being a sloth, swallow your pride, get over the envy of what others have. Your lust, gluttony, and greed do not make you attractive to others. <br /><br />*End Rant*Erinhttp://dreamingwithmidnite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863544208148625103.post-49243375763698194302011-05-24T16:19:15.743-04:002011-05-24T16:19:15.743-04:00I have recently considered couponing to try and ke...I have recently considered couponing to try and keep my family's grocery budget under $100 per week. I keep forgetting to try to pick up a paper on Sundays, but the first time I remember, I will be super pissed if I go to pick up a paper and I can't find one. I agree with you, I think the show is ruining couponing for everyone and it glorifies hoarding and greed. I've considered writing TLC a letter to express my concern over the show and get some stuff off my chest.Ashley S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03757648303519095851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863544208148625103.post-60385144037746648052011-05-24T15:14:41.890-04:002011-05-24T15:14:41.890-04:00I coupon very lightly.

I have had lots of problems lately with people stealing the coupons from the Sunday paper! That is just nuts! I use like 5 coupons a week. I don't mind giving the others away! Ask me, JUST DON'T STEAL THEM!Maia Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156194725728335459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863544208148625103.post-8822424000246369812011-05-24T15:02:33.865-04:002011-05-24T15:02:33.865-04:00That is crazy!!

I am a big couponer as well, and will stock up on items at when I have a can't pass up coupon...but nothing to the extreme as on the show...basically a couple bottles extra of things like shampoos/conditioners, detergents, etc. I will get coupons free from other people via freecycle etc, and pass along what I can't use as well...I've noticed since the show began, there have been more using/wanting coupons and I'm often finding the products I'm searching for cleared from the shelf...very frustrating for sure!!Randi Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733835395527590988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863544208148625103.post-61849284177135245332011-05-24T12:26:08.783-04:002011-05-24T12:26:08.783-04:00OMG I had no idea people were doing this.

We get 5 Sunday papers and 1 daily paper delivered for just $17 a month. That is a savings over just buying them from the local store (they charge $1.50 a Sunday paper). Check at your local paper and see if they have a deal going.A.

Thankfully my neighbor donates his sunday paper to us so we don't have to buy one. i could never steal a paper from someones driveway, or take the inserts out of the paper machine. come on people--that is why no one can trust anyone anymore, because you are dishonest!Megan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07127542643985072131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863544208148625103.post-80612452148936273722011-05-24T10:19:36.098-04:002011-05-24T10:19:36.098-04:00I totally agree with you.
