[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had to jump in and say that I have one facebook "friend" who does this. She's always posting pictures of all the stuff she gets at CVS and how much it cost. The funny thing is that she's about 75 pounds overweight and dieting (she posts about this too) and her pictures always include all of this crap packaged food - like freezer meals, pasta-roni, chips, etc. Plus she buys all of these groupon type discounts for restaurants or cupcakes (that was my favorite one considering she's dieting. Oh, and she's a SAHM who quit her job and I think she started this out of guilt.

[b]You can say you buy "healthy" foods with all of your coupons, but I don't believe it. [/b]

I will use a coupon here and there if I come across one for something that I already purchase like coffee beans, toothpaste, cheese, eggs, etc. But this whole extreme couponing thing is just a game. [/quote]

Part of it depends on what you consider "healthy."  I cook almost every meal we eat from scratch (or pretty close to it).  There are coupons for brown rice, whole wheat pasta, organic broth, organic beans, almond milk, whole wheat bread, yogurt, frozen organic veggies and fruits, wild-caught salmon (usually a store coupon, but still a coupon), etc.  They rarely have them for produce, but every now and then they do have them for things like carrots, clementines, or the bagged salads/spinach.  I do use coupons quite a bit, but only for things we actually use/eat and never for a crazy amount of items (i.e., usually not more 2 of something, and even that is uncommon).

I have also been unable to find something at the store b/c some extreme couponer has completely cleaned an item out.  Totally hoarding in my book, unless they are donating the items to people who really need it.
