Going to Extremes

I have a question for all the Extreme Couponers out there:

What the hell do you do with 300 2 liters of soda before it expires?

Or what do you do with 112 bottles of medicine before it too expires?

Honest to God I want to know. Sure you might give some to charity, to your family or to friends but what about the remaining 200 liters?

Yes, please do stock up on 20 cans of tuna fish because you get them for free since the store is running a special of 2/ $1. And then do it again in four weeks when it comes back around on the ad cycle.

Don't these people realize they can coupon and still get deals without having to acquire a stockpile that could supply an Army outfit for an enitre minor police action?

Congratulations on your 54 bottles of laundry detergent, I know the other 78 you had at home were getting lonely.

I can't help but think "hey, great! You're saving money and I'm all for that but how much food do you end up wasting cause you forgot about the 265 packets of noodles you bought in '09 that were on the back shelf in your storage unit you have to keep for all your shit?"

At what point do these couponers think to themselves "oh hey, I'm set for about 4 years maybe I'll quit buying"?

Perhaps it is because I have to deal with couponers that I'm so against it but get real. You bought $450 worth of groceries last week for $7.34 and you're doing it again this week? Lay off! Hold back! Give it a rest!

It's an addiction, that's what it is. Yes they coupon for the most part out of necessity and to save some cash but a little part of it has to do with an addiction I think. They can't give it up or reel it in to normal standards because it is their crack. They've got addictive personalities. I bet a dollar if I gave them all a pack of smokes half of them would end up addicted.

Ok so perhaps that last part isn't true but I do think there is some addictive void being filled by couponing. Why? Because no one needs 167 packs of disposable razors at, well, their disposal! It is obscene!

I could take the couponers if 8 out of 10 weren't complete assholes. No, I am not going to check through your coupons for you to make sure the highest price ones are doubled. No I'm not going to sift through your coupons to make sure the ones you gave me actually work. If they're expired, they're expired don't try to get me to use it. If it's from another store no we don't take it even though it is a manufacture's coupon. Suck it, I don't care. Yes, amazingly enough your math might be wrong.

Another part that annoys me is how they hold up the lines. God damn do they slow the place down. Half of it is because they aren't organized, half of it is because they can't read and don't get the right product.

So let's just recap: I hate extreme couponers. And even the less extreme ones.
