Hello I am a noobie when it comes to couponing. I understand the concepts of them, but my question is, how in the world do you get more coupons. I have heard you speak about how you get 10 newspapers on sundays but i know that you have had more than that when you go shopping. Where do they all come from? Thats the biggest secret no one will tell lol.

[mschristy1976]

I watched him yesterday on TLC..and judging by all the useless sugar laden products he got free he is going to need those dibetic meters..lol

[ThePrincessAndThePee]

Are you concerned that because of the show stores will change there policies and effect the way you shop?

[pooslut]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssss..... DETERGENT



[ultrakool]

dude, write a book. i'd buy it

[liangjz]

Why don't you look at what you will realistically use in a year? Keep only a year's supply of frozen things, two years of non-frozen food, and three years of everything else. Then scale back your trips. Donate the extras, sure, but don't bring so much in, either. Goods cost 3 times. They cost MONEY when you buy them.  They cost SPACE when you store them. And they cost TIME when you have to shift them around. You're still being wasteful with 2 of 3 things. It's greed--&, yes, hoarding.

[darkroselight]

I'm a fan :)

[LucyRockprincess]

omg i use swagbucks too :)

[sweetrevelation]

With the body wash & deodorant, I can only imagine it'll eventually expire and that you'll never truly use all of those before they do. Do you consider donating to various shelters that aid persons experiencing homelessness because of the mass quantities that you do have and also because I'm sure you can just get more the next month or, well, you know what I mean :) It could really be helpful to the communities in need - esp. if shelters used coupons to their advantage like you do.

[messymutt]

I feel like I'm looking at the stock room of a store. :) That is a lot of stuff.

[aastratton1984]

where is your favorite place to get coupons??

[ultrabextr]

I'm curious if you have checked the expiration date on those bottles of salad dressing lately! How many children do you have that you need to hoard that many wipes and buddy bars? And come on... 300 toothbrushes and all that deodorant? You can't take it with you!!!!!!!!

[freeinHim1]

Idk how many times you get asked this question, but is there any way you can share how you do it? I am a single mom with 2 kids, and to be able to stock up on food and necessities like you do would be tremendous!!!

[lilmunk100]

Hi my name is Wuanetta Davis. I would love to save money on shopping. Problem I don't understand how to use coupons. If you could please send me an email on how to use coupons I would greatly appreciate it!

[Doityourselfgal]

@lilmunk100 Me too. Send too me also. :)

[lilmunk100]

Hi my name is Wuanetta Davis and I live in San Diego, CA. I want to save money but I do not know how use coupons. If you would please send me an email on how to use coupons I would greatly appreciate it. My email address is daviswuanetta@yahoo.com

[Doityourselfgal]

Why would you get so much Deodorant (for example)? It cost you gas money and time to get that, haul it. Not to mention storage of it seems excessive. Even if its free its appears to be moving towards organized HORDING or a obsession.

I agree donating is wonderful (shelters and places in need), but do you see what I mean. Can you elaborate...do you get all the deodorant for free?

[frugaltv]

@Doityourselfgal Hi DIYgal, I got to the store just like you, but I rarely pay for anything like Deodorant. I stockpile it so I don't ever need to actually purchase it. As for 'organized hoarding', check out the definition of hoarding and you will see that it's never organized. My wife and I are empowered to truly impact our community in a positive way. To give $300 to an organization, could you do that weekly or even monthly? Couponing in a way that changes your community is what we LOVE!!

@frugaltv True gotta get personal needs and food, way to be positive and appreciate the response. I guess your right hording is thrown around a lot. I just have found when you have space to let in your have that for love, wealth and good health...Feng Shui I like you and your way of speaking when your doing your videos. I liked the videos you did with Amanda too. Really appreciate all the tips.

[SentientWolf]

Just saw the show a few minutes ago. Amazing. But I was wondering...don't you ever worry about the expiry dates on some of the perishable products (eg. salad dressing, etc.)?

[iikatiex3]

it's like a supermarket in your basement.

[tratra8888]

Wow thats alot of deodorant!!! I bet u and your wife will be smelling like TeenSpirit for years to come!! LOL

[CCBalltheway]

The goverment should get you guys to do the budget. Great ideas.

[jainamshah007]

@CCBalltheway sorry no coupons for stock piling nukes

[Goobian]

You know what is funny you look a lot like a cashier at my local Walmart lol!! If you said you had the same name I would freaked but his name isn't Nathan.

[AMBASSSIDOR]

QUESTION???? where do you get so many coupons and do they have an expiration date on them?

[westwarrior70]

I also will say that I am now inspired to start using coupons as I already am a frugal buyer, I buy most of my food at the 99 cent store but its not always the best selection and always changing. I would like to learn more about coupon shopping and how and where to start other then the obvious newspapers and thousands of online sites.

[westwarrior70]

I want to say that I appreciate that you give your extras to food banks. It seemed like the others on the show were all about their stockpile and watching it grow. I will admit I would get a buzz on that as well but its a better feeling knowing you are helping people in need during the toughest times. Take what you need and share.

[alwaysbubblydeva]

Hello you all have totally inspired me. I was already into coupons, I have my big 3 ring binder and scissors and go to Harris Teeter. I just need to learn to purchase what I have a coupon for in order to see the difference. I would love to learn on the level that you're on. How many coupons do you use@ time? a I have a family of 6 and I could use all the savings I can get. I have been looking to see when the new episodes of E. C. return, can you let me know? Keep up the good savings:).

[xxxDealAddictionxxx]

awe, i see you have diapers and whipes in your stockpile, do you have a baby :) my daughters six months old and im always looking for a great deal on diapers!! how much did you pay for yours?

[meow98]

now look up once a month cooking , and you have it made!

[Yandy500K]

i watched you both on TLC December 29th and I you both have inspired me to start saving with coupons. What tips can you both give me as a beginner in couponing?

[Sweeteyez72]

A great idea to help others is to make gift baskets out of the extra stuff that is accumulated. Find a poor family in your area and surprise them with a gift basket.

[angelalewis32]

I do the same as you. The Kroger people don't like me and talk about me to other customers as I leave. This is maddening. If they only knew how much I save. I have a family of 6 to feed. You are awesome.

[moniquedashaun06]

@angelalewis32 I feel your pain I go threw the same thing . I have six children and it is a total of 9 in the house so i know. Kroger hates me I do it all by the book and the looks I get when I save $400.00 . I stopped going there and told them about how they are not coupon friendly. I did not let them get the best of me I still go back and shop and save more to make them mad. The younger cashiers love me.

[hgib3]

Whoa!!!! Never in all my days have I seen such a stockpile!!! I don't have a TV so I missed the Extreme Couponing episode and I hope someone out there will load it onto youtube in parts or something. I'd love to see how you all work because I have a longgggggg way to go to get to your couponing abilities. With all your body washes and deoderant I'm sure you all smell lovely- LOL!

[plawson420]

This show totally took me by surprise. I stumbled upon it last night and was blown away at the savings. Amazing and fun to watch. Thanks! :)

[GoofBall77378]

That is ridiculous! Who needs that much junk, and what about the other people in your community that may want to buy something on sale with a coupon, I guess they can't since you bought it all!!

[carmellac2000]

@GoofBall77378 they donate to food banks all the time. all of the crazy couponers

[GoofBall77378]

@carmellac2000 ...I coupon, but only what I NEED, and it definitely helps, but no one NEEDS this much stuff piling up...and like I said, I coupon, it helps me get groceries and still have enough for bills, that's why I'm so glad I don't live in this guys town, I wouldn't be able to ever get a good deal, it's all at his house!

[GoofBall77378]

That is totally ridiculous! Who needs that uch junk, and what about the other people in your community that may want to get an item on sale with a coupon...I guess they can't since you bought them all!

[5xteampink]

You are such an inspiration. You have made it to my new years resolution. I live in Hawaii and things are expensive already, i hope to really make an impact in my family and community lives for the better. THANK YOU!!!!

[prettyinpunk666]

I was a wee bit concerned about what you were going to do with all the perishables like the dressing, but I'm glad to hear you donate them. I should have figured that they just asked you to show it all for the show to make jaws drop.

[carmellac2000]

do you worried about rodents invading your stash space ever?

[frugaltv]

@carmellac2000 Not really. We have cats LOL, two of them. I have never had a rodent ruin anything we have purchased so far!! Being clean is part of it! Thanks for your question!!

[jaxsmomma13]

i love couponing but how do you use all they stuff that does expire like the salad dressings?

[frugaltv]

@jaxsmomma13 It's generally donated!!

[Megazell]

@frugaltv You also get tax breaks on the donation also? I know I do, just not as good as you with your stack but I have gotten my grocery shopping so low that one store change their coupon policy due to me ;)
