Thanks to the Extreme Couponing Show...for nothing!
Has anyone but me noticed the changes in coupon policies, the fewer free items and the negative attention now put on us couponers since the show began? Please tell us your experiences or thoughts. I will share mine also.
Here is my take on the show: I am really surprised that the people who were guests on the show didn't realize the negative impact that the show would have on all of us couponers. They are shooting themselves in the foot in my opinion. I believe the show quoted the following statistics: over 1 billion dollars in coupons are printed each week but only 1% are redeemed. Looking at the 1%, if that is reflective of the coupons being redeemed, the manufactures are seeing that a huge portion of that 1% are "extreme couponers", what incentive do they have to continue to put out those coupons when we are the customers that they do not want in the first place! Just my take on it!
