Not really funny but...it's amazing and smart, but I have to say it's unhealthy, right? Processed food, alot of them!
Still, she's someone to admire O_O

One comment from Youtube:
QUOTE
I've tried to do this- it's harder than you think, and you have to buy a lot of mini cooper that you normally wouldn't buy- so your meals are usually packaged and processed foods.

Notice she had no fresh fruit or veggies because there are no coupons for those items. It would be great to save so much money but you really have to be willing to give up a lot of healthy food choices.

I don't know why she agreed to a media interview. Once grocery chains find out about her strategy through the media, they're probably going to be afraid that people will follow suit, and they'll probably begin restricting the use of coupons. She's saving money because she's stacking coupons, but if they disallow that, all her hard work will basically have gone down the drain.

She saves a lot of money.
And of course she's not the only person who does that.
A few other does it too.
It's cool..

whao holy cow, smart but if it was me I doubt I'll be that dedicated and my gawed that's a lot of food, process food that is; anyway the only thing i want to save is on all my toiletries stuff but when it comes to food i can't handle all that process food stashed in the closet.

quality has nothing to do with the situation. because she used coupons it somehow makes the items she bought unhealthy?

I agree !
Anyways, good for her, but isn't the food un-healthy then? ><

I'm sure the cashiers don't mind, they're still getting paid their hourly wages no matter how much she saves. ;D


Anyway, though it's limited this is an amazing strategy. I would combine what she does with buying groceries like I normally do, y'know? Mixing in the cheap/free with the good quality stuff.
