Yeah but, she spends so much time clipping coupons, and calculating shit at the store, her family probably suffers from some social disorder. Just saying!
That's fucking incredible. I wish I were that 'conscious'.
I bet the store owners would be pissed off.
So... She turned a $70 dollar grocery bill into a 5 cent bill. Thrifty.
I once had to survive on $2 for a week. But I didn't do any of that shit, I just stole food.
Am I crazy, or does she look like Helen Hunt?
But I have done things like this before, I once managed to get Wal Mart to pay me to take away two whole turkeys.
Wow That mother is amazing 267 dollars to [B]FUCKING 1 PENNY[/B]
I want to marry a women like that.
Ugh, spending hours to save money is just stupid, it is so much more logical just too look into ways to make money to cover the costs. Also all of that just looks like shit food.
Wow, I need that amount of patience...
I always feel like a fatass because we spend about $250+ on food ever other week or so. Yet I always go to the pantry looking for something to eat between meals and there's always "nothing there" even though I'm looking at a full pantry.

She paid a penny. One cent, you typically throw away pennies or leave them laying on the sidewalk. Do you leave 270 dollars on the sidewalk and keep walking? Granted, I wouldn't do that but I'm jealous she has the ability to do this, I'd just get pissed off and throw something.
But she must pay a substantial amout of money for buying newspapers to get the coupons

It's ok if you live with someone else who has a job that pays for the other stuff, but if you're living by yourself you can't really pull this off.
That stupid bitch is going to ruin it for the rest of us by publicizing it.
I've never heard of a place that allows the use of multiple coupons on the same item.
She says "quarter" like "quah-tah". That's funny. And I live in MA.
[QUOTE=Maybe.avi;20339584]Ugh, spending hours to save money is just stupid, it is so much more logical just too look into ways to make money to cover the costs. Also all of that just looks like shit food.[/QUOTE] A few hours a week to save hundreds of dollars each week/two weeks? Sounds worth it to me. Most people only make hundreds of dollars a week. Imagine spending only a few cents a week on grocery items, how much money you'd have.
looks like crap food anyway what the hell is worth 1$
[QUOTE=Jund;20339421]I bet the store owners would be pissed off.[/QUOTE] Who cares? It's their own rules, so it's their own loss.
It's actually not all that hard to do this, you can even do it without spending any money if you just find sites that give out links to printable coupons. [editline]05:56AM[/editline] That lady in the video actually has some group thing that gives them out. [url]https://www.bigtent.com/groups/htsff[/url]

There are no coupons for Power and Water.
Genius....
why haven't homeless people come up with this, they would have shit loads of food
That's an amazing way to save money and get food. Sure you can only buy what's on sale but look at all the different food she was able to buy (and most of it is name brand). If you spent 5 hours a week on that it's like having a job that pays $50 an hour. Amazing.
How am I late? :v:
Holy shit I recognize that CVS AND that house, it's on a side street I drive on to get to that CVS
