Couponing has become the new rave since the TV show EXTREME COUPONING hit the aire. Even though many couponing sites have been featured on daytime TV shows in the past...nothing ever created such a wave of excitement like Extreme Couponing has.
Many have thought "The show is going to ruin couponing for the rest of us"... I thought the same at first because I was only an occassional coupon user until the gas prices put a huge dent in my budget.
Now, I have a different perspective.
MOST people that have found that they can get something for free or at an extreme discount are just plain lazy (unlike those on the TV show). They pose no threat in the long run. They will play the game for a while but when they find their collection of coupons overwhelming and a REAL JOB to keep up with...they will fade back into their world of online games and social addictions and soon give up the trouble of saving a buck on their anti-itch or headache meds.
These people amount to the many I have seen through the years...they plant a garden every spring...get up at noon and decide it is too hot outside to pull the weeds.
Fear not ~ even though many new couponers may be born...most will never be extreme (I'm not...nor will ever be) and very soon the many of us that put forth an effort to save every month will find some good coupons still available again online.
