My wife and I just started watching this show and to tell you the truth, some of these families leave one scratching their head. Like the woman who cleaned out the entire supply of mustard. I mean, do you really need 66 bottles of mustard? Sure it looks sexy buying nearly $2K in groceries and only paying $100 but sometimes these people go overboard. You want to buy 10 bottles of mustard, fine but 66? And as was said, now you screw anyone else who wants a bottle. But where I get confused is I don't know where these people shop but where I live, on sale items, there is usually a cap. For example, say Gatorade is on sale for $1. The limit is 4 per variety meaning you can buy a max of 4 per flavor. That's still a lot of Gatorade but you're not buying 300 bottles of it. Maybe 36 or so but not the entire stockpile. Secondly, a lot of these people shop at stores that double all coupons meaning if they have a $1 off coupon, the store takes an additional $1. Where I live, at best they'll double it to $1 meaning you'd only get max benefit from a 50 cent coupon. And at the supermarket we frequent(Shop-Rite) if you have, say, a $1.50 coupon and the item is $1, the register won't take the coupon but usually the cashier will just take the $1 off...which isn't right I might add because they'll get the full $1.50 from the manufacturer.
Now, as for some of the people I've seen on this show, several donate a lot of what they buy which is admirable. One guy donated to the military for care packages for soldiers overseas. Another woman to her church who gave stuff to the poor. I thought that was cool. And another family had like 7 kids so you can halfway see the reason for 20 boxes of cereal. I just want to do this one time to see if it can be done.
