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?

@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]

@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!!

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?

[jainamshah007]

@CCBalltheway sorry no coupons for stock piling nukes

[ultrakool]

dude, write a book. i'd buy it

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.
