Soda stockpiles. Doesn't soda expire in 3 months when it's in stores?


That's just ridiculous. Unless you drink like 1 liter a day.

Yes it does! I've had soda 2 weeks before it's expiration date and it tasted flat....so gross. The salad dressings they hoard also would be bad.

These people that are so proud of their 250+ big bottles of stockpiled soda are clueless...sure you have a stockpile of soda but what good is having something that's going to end up going flat before you even put a dent in it? Besides that, drinking massive amounts of soda isn't healthy...

Stockpiling massive amounts of soda, candy, chips and Gatorade isn't anything to really be proud of (in my opinion)...

They should redirect their focus on better things like volunteering to help adults learn how to read, or help adults get their GED. These are the same types of people that argue they don't have any time to do anything. LOL Apparently, they must have time to do other things, besides, complain about lack of time because they find the time to coupon! LOL

I love how they panic if they can't get the 99th bag of chip or bottle of soda...lol

That is funny. I know what you mean.

reply

It's like they've failed their mission because they couldn't get the 52nd bag of Cheetos or something...lol...I guess 51 just won't do....yup that's failure...

I marvel at the stacks and tiers of those giant bottles of soda that some of them have...their accomplishment seems to equate what it must be like when a scientist cracks some newly discovered code that the world has yet to find out about...

I remember that one gal who was trying desperately to save money....so she could buy a tattoo.............it's like uh, how much money (if any) do you have in your retirement fund? And she wants a tramp stamp? Don't get me wrong, to each his own but she was all panicky over the money she'd save couponing for a tattoo...this stuff just writes itself sometimes....

Yea, I marvel too @ all those sodas and chips and think those will be stale in about a week! LOL

All that wasted food! 

reply

The cereal alone will go stale...the pop will go flat...

I don't think any of them know what a fruit or vegetable is...

They probably don't. Something tells me they're NOT exactly health fanatics. Their idea of eating healthy is adding ketchup as a topping to their mashed potatoes.LOL

That family with the 6 freezers seemed to eat a lot of stuff like frozen pizza, breaded frozen chicken, French fries, burritos etc 😱

No, NEVER!

Can you imagine if the power crapped out because of some problem like a bad storm? Days with no power and all of that FREE food going rotten...freezers don't keep stuff frozen forever....sooner or later it would unthaw 😨

valid points and think of this what if they unwittingly forgot to pay their electric bill! 

reply

Yeah...lol

Hey did you see the episode where these two wives were looking to upgrade their sheds outside so they would have more storage for more crap? I think they ended up taking their hubby's for a cheap BBQ at a restaurant...

yes, I remember that one. I wish TLC would continue airing NEW eps and oLD ones too & release them ALL on 📀!

I would like to see a follow up show on these families...showing how many are still together, or still couponing, or in the poor house etc...

yes, that would make an interesting followup! LOL

They probably do that because they made an agreement with the producers that if they get it down to the max, they will get paid more for doing the show.

RIO OLYMPICS!!!! August 5th!

reply

Yeah, that is one of the bad things about couponing. There are always coupons available for unhealthy, processed foods that have big name brands and are consistently putting out manufacturer coupons. The same cannot be said for healthy produce (which you wouldn't be able to stockpile anyway as it has a way shorter shelf life than the processed foods many couponers are able to buy).

Well if that soda goes flat, they can always maybe use it to clean their toilets...lol
