This is a really great article Lillian found all about how couponing is changing because of the TLC show!
Here is a little blurb...
"Meanwhile, viewers are trying to take on the TV show's tricks to no avail -- and becoming depressed by their inability to replicate the savings achieved by the pros on the show. "Is Extreme Couponing Hurting Self Esteem?" asks Leah Ingram on her blog Suddenly Frugal. Phil Lempert, food industry expert and editor of Supermarketguru.com, told her that "shoppers no longer feel good about saving $10, or 10-to-20 percent. They're becoming depressed that they are not able to buy $1,000 or more groceries for 25 cents."
I read an article about some lady who was arrested for stealing newspapers. She says "I didn't think I was doing anything wrong" and her excuse was "I am an Extreme Couponer like on the TLC Show". It is going to be inept people like that who will ruin it for the rest of us.
