In My Opinion
My "power tool" only requires 3 AA's.
Is the AA a battery size or does that indicate African Americans?

I agree. I was behind a woman in line at Target the other day and she got $85 worth of product for $2. She mentioned to the cashier that she didn't even use Visine (she had 5 bottles), but since it was on sale and she had a coupon, she was getting it for free. Well, that's fantastic, but now you have 5 bottles of Visine sitting around your house that you will never use. The wastefulness is disgusting.
I feel like I save enough just by using my bonus card at Giant.. every once in a while I'll have a coupon for something we NEED and actually USE. I try to only shop at Giant b/c of the gas rewards also. I'll scan the Food Lion ad sometimes and if something is on sale BOGOF I'll stop in and get it.
I used to use coupons that came in the Sunday paper, but was finding I was buying that particular item JUST because I had a coupon, and that's dumb.
I don't have alot of storage in my house and I also hate clutter and disorganization.

I have a laundry detergent problem. This was the start of my collection
I now have 26 bottles of detergent and 12 bottles of softener. I need to take a new pic.
You get the idea

Laundry detergent is understandable, but croutons? You could make a bunch of salads, have enough to make stuffing for 45 Thanksgiving,

It's non perishable, you will always need it and 24 jugs for someone with an infant would last about 18 months. :shrug:
I doubt the avarage human uses more than 10 bags of croutons in their entire lifetime. 94?

I also hoard laundry detergent. I think that I have enough of it to do roughly 640 loads of laundry. [yes, I added it all up one boring moment.]

Oh, heck no. I hoard all kinds of laundry products, as well as other cleaning goods and toiletry items.Its good to know I am not alone
Add to that my food hoarding tendencies, and I've got a real problem. But the reality is that I use all of my stuff, and it does not go to waste. In the event of a job loss or a natural disaster, I could easily feed my family for 4 months without going to a grocery store.

I have watched the show a few times and saw one couple who had to call friends to come to the store because they could only use a certain number of coupons per person. If I had a friend call me to go all the way to the grocery store just so they could use coupons, I think I'd have a few choice words to say.
And one lady had a whole huge closet filled with crates and crates of coupons. It's ridiculous. They do all this to save money, but if they just went and got a job (even part time) they'd probably be better off.

I had to go watch the show(s) I love it!
The identical twin sisters who had free meals and dessert on their birthday (that's cool) but the stacks upon stacks of diapers for a baby that doesn't exist is just weird.
Rarely do they buy fresh produce or meat.
Candy is usually on the conveyer belt along with household products. How many Mentos can you eat, how many antacids can you take (before they expire) and peanut butter even has a shelf life. I imagine shampoo and body wash do as well.
I'm frugal and shop sales but I don't want excess.

But keeping things in context.....if using coupons allows you to save so much money on cleaning products, toiletries, paper products, etc, that money can then be funneled in to purchasing your normal food items that often don't have coupons attached......vegetables, fruit, meats, and more healthful items.

And this is why manufacturers issue coupons, to entice you to buy their name-brand (i.e. more expensive) products, whether you need them or not. You can save a lot of money just by buying store brands or shopping at Walmart -- much cheaper than the grocery store and NO coupon clipping. Who the heck has 8 hours a day to devote solely to clipping coupons anyway?!

Maybe I am alone here but everytime I go into WalMart I drop at least $100. EVERYTIME. I can never go in and get just one or two things.
I get home and am like WTF did I buy. They have all this crap on end caps...a plastic drink pitcher w/ 6 cups inside for $3... OMG $3 for that what a deal so in the cart it goes and so on and so on...
