I've watched the first 4 episodes, why can't we have that amount of coupons over here?! I'd love to give it a go!

Think i'm going to set this up on the Sky, I want to get into couponing here, need to buy myself a printer... Do you find the money you save on printing stuff out is worth the actual money you save?

Caught this programme on Sky last night - was amazing! One woman had 4 trolley's full of shopping, the total was well over $1,000 and due to coupons, loopholes and other offers, she ended up paying about $50 for the whole lot!

I saw this too last night, it was amazing, time consuming but what great savings.

Has anyone heard of this programme- I caught it on Really Tv last night about 10pm. An american woman bought $600 worth of food/home stuff for a month but only paid $6!!! She had to organise it into 18 transactions to use her coupons- not sure I could ever be that organised but WOW! All credit to her for an amazing shop & stock that took over every crook in her house!!

Funnily enough l was going to start the same thread, and l've now found the above threads, so l'm going to give this a go.....

Trouble is in some stores (Morrisons for example) you're limited to the number of deals you can have, although l wouldn't be greedy like the American woman who cleared the shelf - all but one on the shelf of mustard. She reckoned it wouldn't go off but surely it would go off before you ate 53 bottles of the stuff :eek::rotfl:

And can you honestly see a UK store manager applauding you like the American ones did? You'd be hoiked out of the store and banned before you knew it.

I bought a printer last Thursday for £38.10, mainly for the want of getting into coupons and since I've printed £13.99 worth of coupons so I'd say yes! But we were wanting a printer anyways, it won't be just used for coupons

SassyBlue - From what I've gathered, in America anyways, coupons are actually worth more to a store than money. I think it's mainly ones manufacturers put out? But I know they get the discounted money refunded to them plus a handling fee per coupon.

I've put it to record though, missed the first week but I think it's repeated Wednesday. I love things like this, mainly because I'm totally nosy and like to see what people buy!
