[quote=Anonymous]My aunt is a consumer advocate. She is well-known, in fact you can google her. She started out as an "extreme couponer" back in the seventies before there was a title for what she did. We just thought she had a weird hobby. She saved a tremendous amount of money; my uncle was in the army. Because she constantly knew the prices of every item she also became highly familiar with sales tax codes and knew many times when she should not be charged sales tax on items, and corrected cashiers and stores. She then joined the county consumer's group and this led to consumer advocacy as a field, all self-taught. In the last 10-20 years, she has sued Wal-Mart many times for scanner errors and inaccuracies and tax overruns, always in the store's favor, and won. I think the notion that extreme couponing is always greedy is as stupid as any generalization.[/quote]
