Saw this on the news, so thought I’d post the link. My take? First woman is loony tunes, pure and simple, Nathan (WUC) seems to have a deodorant fixation, third woman coupons to enough of an extent that it bothers her husband. Mind you, the third woman may just have a problem because her husband doesn’t see why you need to buy 5 tubes of toothpaste, or something as simple as that.
And you know what? A real hoarder would not have all that Campbell’s soup – it would be either Healthy Choice or Progresso….just sayin’ Now if I can figure out a way to watch the episode on TLC online (since we ditched the dish). Extreme Couponing (starring four shopaholics – their words) starts tomorrow, December 29th.
OMG these peeps are hysterical!! Enough tp to last 40 years…a lot of it was that single ply Marcal stuff that most of us would use as sandpaper!!
And stop making fun of my Campbell’s soup stash…and yes I do have both Progresso and Healthy Choice!
While its nice that Nathan gave or said he was gonna give the cereal to the church, will the IRS get their shorts in a knot about that? At times it ‘pays’ to stay out of the limelight, kwim??
No, according to Jill (admittedly a long ago post), the IRS takes the view that the sale price is your donation amount. So even if Nathan used a coupon/sale/cat to bring the total down to zero or even a MM, his donation is the sale amount. Honestly? Unless you are donating $30k worth of stuff you got for free: 1) the high tax on toiletries will kill you and 2) you are only getting a small amount subtracted from your income taxes. Do it for karma, not tax ramifications, although that does sweeten the deal 🙂
These people are all seeking to profit from the publicity; Nathan with his website WUC and the dumpster lady with her book. The first husband/wife team? Well, they’re just nuts… and you’re right about that nasty Small Steps toilet paper. Maybe it’s named that because using it makes you too sore to take giant steps…
So its either extreme couponing or my strange addiction. When did tv get so weird. I miss gossipgirl glee
