Extreme Couponing

I started watching "Extreme Couponing" on TLC, and I'm hooked. This show is awesome! The people on the show save so much money, just by couponing, it's ridiculous. You have to see it to believe it. And they get all sorts of things for FREE.

The only drawback to extreme couponing is that most of these people have an entire room (or garage) devoted to all the products they buy/get for free. I just don't have the space to store 100 rolls of paper towels. Plus, as a single person, what am I going to do with 100 rolls of paper towels!

Some of these couponers/hoarders have several years supplies of items like deodorant, mustard bottles, and toothpaste. I wonder if they actually go through all of these items before they expire. I know paper towels don't go bad, but at some point those 43 bottles of mustard are going to be "not so fresh" and should probably get thrown out. So what's the point, if you can't use everything you get for free, then why "buy" them?

Whether or not these couponers actually use all the items they acquire, it's still fun to watch them get "high" off some extreme bargains where ultimately $649 worth of stuff ends up costing them only $7.23.
