[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was watching a daytime court show the other day where a woman was suing a shop owner because he harassed her after she took an entire tray of deli meats that were "free samples" and put them in her purse.

I don't think extreme couponers are that bad but it's the same ilk. You're not stealing but not really using the coupons in the spirit of what they are for and you're really annoying to interact with in the store. [/quote]

I'm not a couponer but I can't even with this crazy comparison you've come up with.  These cases are not the same ilk and why is everyone assuming op is an extreme couponer/hoarder?  I don't understand at all but I have noticed more and more people have issues with anyone who is fiscally conservative. I remember decades ago one daytime talk show host had a woman on who raised her family by mostly buying recycled items (not food). She was very proud of the money they saved. She was not invited to the show to discuss her shopping strategies but to address the hostility she received because of her life style. Her family did not live in a hovel, everyone had food and clothes that looked fine. Most of their clothes and the kids toys were used. She was invited to be on the show because people reacted to her almost violently and accused her of abusing her children because of this.

This is our society is now. [/quote]
