$600 in groceries for $10? Yes. How? Extreme couponing.
Extreme Couponing" – which airs at 9:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday nights – follows the lives each week of dedicated so-called "couponers" who spend countless hours cutting coupons, seeking deals and strategizing how to hunt the supermarket.
By pairing manufacturer coupons from the Web and Sunday newspaper with items that are on sale at the supermarket, couponers can walk away from the grocery store after paying only mere cents for their items. (In some cases, items coupled with coupons can even be free).
But some people like 27-year-old Joanie Demer — the co-founder of popular coupon tip blog TheKrazyCouponLady.com, who was featured on the show — take couponing so far that they even jump into dumpsters to collect a number of the estimated $57 billion worth of coupons Americans throw away each year.

Oh boy, crazy coupon clippers! I'm a supervisor at a store and we employees cringe everytime one of the coupon crazies comes into one of our checkout lanes. They always come at the busiest time of the day, hold up lines with their 20 or more coupons and don't get me started on a lot of the fraud that I've witnessed with the use of many of these coupons. It's unbelievable! I wish the manufacturers would start cracking down on this.
