it's only extreme if the store now owes me money for my purchase.

I don't even think these people do it to save money, i think it's more like a game or an addiction

My stepmom does this. I've been trying to learn. After a big haul like that, I'd donate the majority of it (and some leftover money as well) to a local food pantry and send the extra women's products to a shelter for homeless teens. There is no real reason to just stockpile stuff like this other than that. It just makes you look like a maniac.

My sister is a couponer genius. She is not one of those that buys just to stock pile items just because they are on sale. She buys for herself, me, my mom & brother. If you match up coupons with store sales you can get a lot of items for free. She has then taken those free items like personal care items..toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, feminine hygiene products & donated them to the homeless shelters & churches in need.

What's even the point though? Like that one family bought 60 bbq sauce bottles. 60. When on earth are you ever going to use that much BBQ sauce? Like looking at her list, there was a lot of stuff on there, but a lot of it seemed like junk and not stuff you can live off of. They see savings, I see waste. They're just doing it for the heck of it.

As a grocery cashier, having one of these people come through my line is my actual worst nightmare.

"Does dis-count"😂😂😂😂

2:43 "too much thinking for me" words to live by hahaha

The funny part is as Americans, we are as different from each other as Irish people are to us. Most Americans watch this and have the same reactions to all these "American" things.

Not gonna lie, this is the first "reality" show that I really enjoyed watching 😁 Became quite engrossed...

do Irish people watch "19 Kids and Counting"

The dad wanted some damned peanuts,. The man deserves peanuts!

For a child with over $5000 in stocked up food, she is UNHEALTHILY skinny. Like, I'm pretty sure she's bordering on malnutrition.

I worked in a grocery store when I was in college. These women had to try different stores because we would recognize them when they got in line. One women was able to double up on coupons. My registered eventually stopped accepting her coupons. She got upset and asked her husband to buy a case of beer so I could ring up more coupons. She had more coupons than items and she could have given me coupons for items she didn't even buy. These people are crazy, they buy things just because they have a coupon. What a waste, just buy what you need. I'm happy if I have one coupon for a box of cereal

I think people get such a rush from the savings from couponing. However, I know a few people who do couponing to this extreame but they actually donate a lot of their stock pile to the local homeless shelters. Especially if you can get the women hygiene products in bulk for practically nothing and donate it, that's what they need. I don't understand the loopholes but I appreciate everyone who does.

In Ireland there's no way possible to beat the system with coupons. And I'm just not ok with that. But I'm sure in an hour I won't give a crap. Party on, Jesus out ✌🏻️

I can relate from being a cashier. The extreme coupon-ers always came to me because I was a "sweet boy." Yes, it would take anywhere from 45-60 mins for a transaction, but the upside was I only had to deal with one customer instead of twenty :)

*Irish people critique abstract art.*

Somebody should feed that kid haylie, poor kid looks as though she should be wheeling around a drip with her

That cashier is smiling but let me tell you this stuff is annoying, the people who do this aren't always charming and coupons don't always go through like they're supposed to...

I just come here to upvote the abstract art guy.

New idea, "Irish People Watch TLC Programs For 8 Hours, and, Try Not To Slit Their Wrists."

I used to watch that show so long ago! my favorite is when they go to their fav store with all their coupons- and the cashier hits em with a "We don't double the coupons(I think that's what its called)" so they can only use one (or only a few) coupon per transaction. Best moments

the little girl always getting food, but looking like she eats NOTHING

instead of stockpiling the stuff they should be giving it to charity

I worked as a cashier in high school and I understand having a budget (having been in college) but PLEASE don't do stuff like this. It just makes everyone behind you in line hate you, it makes the cashier hate you and it makes the manager who has to approve the use of each coupon hate you.

Do these people realise that the amount of time and effort they put into doing this most likely would practically qualify as a job? If it takes you 20 hours to figure out how to save $250 then, congratulations, that works out to what you'd get in a 26-grand a year job.

....I freaking hated these people when I worked as a bagger at a grocery store. They took forever, we always had to call a supervisor/manager, and they got really rude when the cashiers told them that a coupon was either expired or that they had exceeded their limit.

Are you really saving any money if you have 254 lbs. of watermelon flavored Jolly Ranchers in the spare bedroom next to 123 boxes of Twinkies?

Her parents said they would put the saved money aside for her car, just wait until she gets older and they tell her they spent it on couples vacations LOL.

The grocery stores around me have cracked down on the extreme couponers by limiting the total number of coupons you can use per order or limiting the number of like coupons per transaction (for example you can only use three of the same coupon). It is impossible to coupon like the people on the show here. Most of the time the couponers get to the store as soon as it opens when there is a new sale and take everything.

The sucky thing though is that there aren't coupons for HEALTHY food.

No, this is not a harmless addiction. Did you see that first woman's "pantry"? How is that healthy food? It's all processed crap. Is she planning on feeding several families or is it just for her family? Just for her family then it's not cost conscious to do that. I believe it will also promote unhealthy eating habits as well as laziness in the kitchen. It's reckless.

What the hell is going on in America, you can't do that here, add 800 coupons and sales together and then the store ends up owing you money, that's nuts!

My favorite part of life, watching cute Irish girls watching stuff.

A lot of extreme couponers donate what they don't need to food banks and other charities. I work at an animal shelter and we get a lot of canned dog and cat food donated by a local extreme couponer.

Yay! Jesus & Diana are together again. This was good. I like the watching ones.

For anyone who's wondering, yes extreme couponing isn't realistic...sort if. I'm only basing this on an article I read a few years back when I was curious about the show myself. It was written by a woman who was approached to be on the show back when it was in its concept stage; she had her own blog or something detailing how to save big* with coupons (*like a normal shopper). However, when the show rolled out they dropped her in favor of more "extreme" couponers--and so we have the show everyone's familiar with. From what I understand half of what's depicted on the show is straight up unrealistic (no cashier will be that happy to check you out if you're buying a whole shelf of products with 100+ coupons, most stores won't double your coupons, and many stores put a limit on coupon usage in one transaction), about a quarter of it is illegal (they don't show that part but many people acquire the coupons illegally and abuse them in other ways), and the rest glorifies an unhealthy lifestyle. No one needs 50 bottles of BBQ sauce unless you're donating or having a massive cookout...possibly many. There's also the fact that many stores have admitted to allowing certain coupons to work in certain ways when the show comes in, but when they're gone they go back to regular policy (they do have this right, though). And yes, it's usually pretty shitty food that goes on sale, and usually it's the same things over and over again, so they end up with countless hordes of the same thing. Moreover there's a huge time-suck they're giving over to do this, and they often visit multiple stores to get the "best" deals so they're wasting gas too. Not to mention the cost of getting the coupons themselves, which ironically can end up being pricey. So yeah, a coupon here or there is fine, but just look for the best deals and you'll be saving much more than these people.

I love this show I wished I could extreme coupon it is a good way if you have a large family to feed on a limited budget and it takes a couple of months preparation and work they even go dumpster diving in recycling bins for coupons but it has saved them loads of money. I think this is so awesome! You can tell these Irish kids are single cause they weren't impressed too much. Once they have kids and having start paying for groceries every week they'll remember this lol.

first video they ever pulled the right quote for...lmfao "Why is Haylie always in survival mode?"- I need to buy this guy a beer or twenty lol

That young lass needs to start eating some of that food not hoarding it..

as a European I don't understand the couponing thing at all. I mean I kinda get how it works but how is that normal or sustainable?

I worked as a cashier for Walmart for time, and I remember getting a few of these couponers. It's absolutely AMAZING how they have it down to a science! They end up owing practically NOTHING (a dollar & some-odd cents was normal). Some even had the store owing them money! It's perfectly "legal" and we cashiers were happy to help! Until the companies stop putting out the coupons, this will continue. . . and why not? I've also had friends who make their coupon "runs" to the store who have shared with me things: shampoo, deodorant, tooth paste, etc. I love it!

I could watch these all day 😂

that young girl in the blue needs to eat some fucking food!

Irish people watch Ren and Stimpy! I asked a few episodes ago, and I think it'll be epic.

Really she's right...at her level...it becomes an obsession with them. My friend took me to a coupon meeting...it was incredible. I couldn't do it... Bad thing is none of it's for fresh foods, or vegetables or fruits. It's non healthy eating...

My aunt is a pretty serious couponer, not to this degree, but she definitely has mastered the process. I think it’s a totally fine and beneficial hobby if you’re not obsessive about it, and if you use what you get for more than just your own personal collection. If I did this, I would be giving a lot of things away to family members, homeless shelter and food pantries, donating whatever I could to people who really need it. This could be a really cool thing if there were more people doing it for the right reasons.

Holy shit. As obsessive as they were... I kinda want them savings. I think i need to start looking at coupons.

The now I have a machine gun ho ho ho t shirt is the greatest thing ever! I'm gettin one

To be honest, I don't care if I need 200 coupons, 500 packages of free chocolate and sour candy sounds amazing

There should be a part 2 of this video where the contributors do a couponing challenge. Ryan would hate it so much lol.

only in America, "the land of excess"

The red head and the girl that looks like Paige are my favorite combo. Their such babes. Love Facts.

I love this show.

I feel like it is because of this show (or maybe the economy) that coupons don't work like this anymore. Most stores don't double, and it's usually you can only use one of each type of coupon per transaction. So you would have to have like 200 transactions, which just isn't possible.

You don't save money, if you don't use it. Good LORD!

I have a crush on the red haired girl in the first shot. xP

I've watched this show and it's impressive how much you can save...but mostly this seems to be in the Midwest/rural parts of the country; in the SF Bay Area you're not knocking 90% off of your grocery bill. I also love the "I have a machine gun" shirt.

In the U.K. you have the equivalent night-sales of heavily reduced products at Tesco's, which are due and sold for about 1/4 if not less of the original price. Mind you, these are fresh products, so you can live pretty well and healthily for very little money.

Did I see "Food Stamp Total"? I could be wrong but that 2nd family didn't look like they would be getting gov't assistance.

How do people do this? All coupons say limit one coupon per customer per purchase.

“Bet you she gets her allowance in coupons.” 😂😂😂

"Bet she gets her allowance as coupons." LOL!!!

What's the name of the discount Shawn Mendes sitting next to Ryan??

Next episode Irish People Watch Australian Rules Football (AFL)

"Why do you have to have 99?" Fucking EXACTLY. This is why my mother's pantries, fridges, and freezers (yes, all plural) are bonkers, and that's despite Canada's rules against combining all these sorts of bullshit coupons. No one should be getting paid to walk out of a store with like 17 carts full of ramen or tampons or whatever.

As a cashier, I love scanning coupons. There's such a satisfying beep that the machine makes and it breaks up the monotony of scanning food.

They always list a huge amount of money they "saved", but they saved it on stuff they don't need and will never use, and they spent like 30 hours a week collecting the coupons and planning he shopping trip. (not to mention the 10 hours in the store itself). So They worked 40 hours to get 100s of "free" toothpaste and barbecue sauce. They still don't have any real food to make a meal. They have no meat to put the sauce ON. None of that stockpile is "free" when they have to work so many hours to get it. They basically have a full time job that gets paid in mouthwash and mustard. In that same amount of time you could work at a real job and get paid in MONEY, and buy whatever food you will actually EAT. AND you'll have a spare room to use for living in, instead of these stupid stockpiles hoarding toiletries and condiments.

Instead of hoarding and money saving, perhaps Hailey's parents should probably teach her some manners. Jesus Christ, the way she talked to her father was just wrong. I'd end the car deal right then and there if I was her parent and she started talking to me like that. No car until you start acting like someone old enough to drive, rather than a two year old too used to getting your way.

LOL Whole video worth it just for “does DISCOUNT?” and the assessment of “reverse gambling”! :P :D I love you all lol

They need to do another one of these videos with others and see their reactions. LOL

Die hard shirt is awesome :D

Couponing is very unhealthy because most of the time the coupons are for crappy food and drinks like noodles or sugary drinks, Never healthy foods.

3:15 How excited she looked to take those coupons had me laughing so hard. She was like, of ALLLLLL the registers, it just had to be mine.

Why is Haley always in survival mode?....I'm done 😂😂😂

Irish people critique abstract art

girl in the 2nd clip is anorexic ?

I'm just looking at the food and thinking, "none of those things look healthy."

I'm Irish and i love this show 😂

So why stockpile all that stuff, sell it and make money then you win both ways.

It's only $680 because you bought like 10 bottles of sauce...who really needs 10 bottles of sauce...I don't understand them.

"....why is Hallie always in Survival Mode?" I lost it.

"Now I Have A Machine Gun Ho-Ho-Ho!" love that shirt

Proud voter of Trump, Irish people. Ha

"Does discount" killed me

if I remember this show prompted grocery stores to add some fine print to there coupons to prevent people from doing this kind of stuff

Whoohooo!!! I've misread it but it gives a wonderful idea for a future episode: Irish People Watch EXTREME COPULATING (ok... copulation but hey I've said I've misread it)

I'm still puzzled at the concept that, if done properly, coupons can virtually get you hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for a couple of dollars. or some of these ladies get money BACK from the store thanks to coupons. Fascinating. That would be illegal in Italy. They didn't show the really amazing ladies that do these massive grocery runs with 4or5 trolleys and then donate the whole thing to charity. 👏

I would totally watch the Irish Facts Team go Extreme Couponing XD

I just want to say... I love that Die Hard T-shirt! It's even the right color. :)

I really respect the people who do this to donate all of this “bulk” to charity

love her taste in movies with the "Now I have a machine gun ho ho ho" shirt

I've worked in 3 different grocery stores. I would absolute freak if I had a customer like this. I feel so bad for the cashiers

this show is my guilty pleasure

"They would come in handy in a flood..." LOL

We have a wonderful group of ladies who coupon for our local food pantry. They are a lovely helpful bunch and help our community out so much. That's the only plus side I can see to doing it in this quantity, most food expires.

Usually my parents are the ones telling me "NO!" when we go shopping, not the other way around😂😂😂

"she laminated the coupons" lmao

LOVE IT, HARKERJEN, DJ AND SMOKEY ALL IN ONE VID!!!
