That extreme couponing is American but on that the shopping comes to maybe $1500 and they end up paying about $5

They do all seem a bit obsessed though and have storerooms that are actually bursting at the seams with products.

I thought most coupons now had 'one voucher per transaction' on or 'max 6 per customer'?
I'm going to look into this coupon business, I think we should have a tibb competition who can bag the best freebie

Heart attack in a trolley looking at the list

But this is great. Our supermarkets normally limit the amount of coupons you can use though so I could never attempt this even if I could be bothered

Just imagine the dread of getting to the counter, only being able to use 5, and getting stuck with a £600 bill to pay there and then

I think I would actually run out of the shop and avoid it for the rest of my life

I'm quite shocked that the supermarket took all the coupons, and didn't have the usual "x-amount per customer" rule.

The lad is doing something useful with his time, so that's a good thing. The only fault I have with this story is the way they make out that NHS admin salary is hard to survive on. The NHS pay a lot better than the private sector for admin work.

This made me laugh. Can't wait to see what Karl has to say for himself when he gets back. lol

I do wonder where he got these coupons from because it's true, most supermarkets have stuff in the small print that limits how many coupons you can use, usually just one per transaction!?
