Extreme Couponing Versus Practical Couponing....

So the debate continues and I hear it everywhere I go.. "have you seen that extreme couponing show" well yes I have.. Why do I watch it... To maybe pick up some sort of new info... not likely but just maybe. While usually I get so mad because I can see they are defrauding and get over on the grocery stores. I get mad because they are using so many coupons that it forces the cashier to override them so they get the credit, but I would bet that most of those coupons are being used not as intended or are breaking some rule on it...
Why can I bet this, because I coupon. I know the language and have most of the same Coupons...
I can see what they are doing and it angers me. Now why does it anger me>??
It angers me because they ruin it for the rest of us. I am a Practical Couponer. I have a small stockpile of items that we as a Family use or that I donate to troops. I don't clear shelves, for the purpose of because it is Free.. or "they pay me" to take it out of the store.
I don't steal Papers or inserts. I buy my papers legally and I also ask others for theirs and even better I have a Group on Facebook full of ladies who swap coupons with each other. I also do the recycle thing every once in awhile.
If I buy papers I don't buy them all, like a couple ladies who need a lesson in Karma here in Killeen... One day I will run into them...
So back to the purpose of this read this article by Yahoo and see if you agree...
Some points I do agree while the esteem part I do not.. I know what is reasonable and what can be accomplished. I know I can save 90% and do it legally.. I know that I will only buy things that my family will use,eat, or need... I will never clear a shelf just because I can. I will treat others as I would want to be treated, I will share coupons with others because that is how I am. and last but not least I am a PRACTICAL COUPONER NOT AN EXTREME COUPONER.. so PLease don't classify all of us into one group.... :)
