[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   Here is a link to an ad place on craigslist from a family doing another garage sale after their most recent successful sale. They're selling items they got for FREE with coupons. Pure greed. I tried couponing at bloom since the month of June they were doubling coupons up to $1.99..I went in there after cutting my coupons and found out that the extreme couponers had cleaned out most supplies. A clerk told me that pasta (free after a double coupon) was cleaned out by ONE woman that brought in coupons and just kept her transactions separated (bloom only allows 20 coupons per transaction so she found a way around this). I was told my the same clerk that the extreme couponers will wait until the store opens and the same 3 or 4 people will take the whole inventory. So I used 4 coupons and got almost nothing. Much like the extreme couponers on tv, most of these people were obese and greedy. Does a family of 3 really need 100 boxes of pasta? Or 80 packs of deodorant? How about 55 boxes of tylenol? 
  People have become greedy. If the deals are so good, get some or DONATE to foodbank!  I would like a deal too and I can show some respect to other shoppers and only buy a few of each product. 
     But really, selling items you got for free at a garage sale? A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF TACKY. Selling toothpaste for $1.00?! You can walk into wegman's today and it's only 89 cents WITHOUT a coupon.

Hmmm wonder if they will accept coupons at their sale :P

I do think the stockpiling for no reason other than for it to be in your house is stupid and just a form of hoarding. I would never clutter my house with such stuff and take away living space for bottles of shampoo. There will always be stores that sell shampoo - cheap shampoo too - and coupons to get a discount so buy when you need it?[/quote]
