Did you watch the TLC show "Extreme Couponing"? If you did, what are your thoughts?
I would have to say that it was "Extreme" compared to the majority of couponers. But that is exactly what the show was about, "Extreme" couponers. I would say that I am far from extreme, just smart. I have enough stockpiled to last a few weeks. Those on the show were stocked up for 10 years or more! I just don't have the time nor space to grow my stockpile that much. I try not to pass up on the freebies though. If I can get something that I already have an abundance of, I will donate it or gift it. :) The show did have at least one person featured that would donate to local food banks!
With that said, I have managed to score a personal interview with "Mr Coupon" who was featured in the TLC show! I know that everyone was shocked and amazed at the mountain of cereal that he got for FREE! Here is your chance to ask him a question. I am allowing you, my readers, to submit questions to ask Mr. Coupon! Post your questions below in the comments section and I will choos 5-7 of the best questions to ask.

What is the most rewarding donation of an item that he has donated that he got from couponing?
ReplyDeleteDo you ever just run out to the store and grab an item without a coupon and then feel really guilty knowing you had a coupon and just didn't take it with you because it was a necessity?
Where and how many coupons do you get weekly? Is there a rule of thumb, 5-6 inserts weekly? How much money do you spend on coupons weekly?
ReplyDeleteI would want to ask how he organizes all of his coupons. Some people have binders with sections, does he have a binder for each area of the store?
