Extreme Couponing

Usually when I get this excited about a TV program there is a groom planning a wedding for an unsuspecting bride, some perma-tanned people from Essex in staged melodramatic situations, any sort of variation on the ‘Come Dine With Me’ theme (Dinner Date) or Kirsten O'Brien describing her breasts as norks in a shameless (and fruitless) attempt at getting an FHM spread. 


Yes, I may be easily excited, but if someone had told me about a program where extremely frugal Americans, using large quantities of coupons on their supermarket trip, would make for edge of your seat television I probably wouldn’t have believed them.  The program I’m talking about is ‘Extreme Couponing’ and my friends, it is indeed gripping television.

Some kind soul has put the entire episodes of it on Daily Motion for our viewing delight, and trust me you’ll be delighted. So don’t’ take my word for it, judge for yourselves.  At first I was all ‘you really need 55 bottles of mustard, you crazy bitch?!’ but by the time she was at the checkout ringing up thousands of dollars of groceries with less than a hundred bucks in her purse I was nearly wetting myself with anticipation. Meet Jaime the self proclaimed ‘Diva of Coupons’ and her nut job couponing friends…
