Not Worth It


Okay. Some of these people admit to spending up to 20-30 hours a week couponing.

Let's calculate that time according to minimum wage. I'm not sure what minimum wage is, but I think it's about $8.00 now. So let's say $8/hr for 20-30 hours.

That'd be... $160-$240.

A lot of these women say they are stay-at-home moms. Well that'd be $160-$180 to add into your family's budget. Now then, I get that not everyone can work and that's fine.

Another point:

You spend $9 to get 100 bottles of detergent or something dumb, and 59 bottles of bbq sauce. When are you ever going to use that? Maybe the detergent, but not the bbq sauce.

Instead of getting 260 packs of tic-tacs, etc. etc. for $25, use that $25 to get chicken breasts, fresh fruits, and fresh veggies. Enough for the week, healthy, and at the same price.

I think it's overboard/extreme that some of these couponers literally HOARD their products. I highly doubt they'll EVER use ALL that detergent they buy, which will end up being totally wasted & pointless in buying it. Also buying those stupid products like Tic-Tacs, yuck!😭 That candy is already cheap enough, so I don't get why anyone would use coupons to buy those nasty candies?!

Some of this is extremely misleading. No store will give you more than the item value. This episode tonigt, the store had to reboot their computer system and manually enter the coupons. That is old school scamming right there.

Add to that the ludicrous purchase of 500 bbq bottles...just not reasonable at all, especially to get full meals.

The show is confusing. I wonder why it was cancelled?
