Extreme Couponing - your thoughts please -

Posted on 11:41 by Unknown
I just have to get your thoughts on this insanity. Yes I think it is CRAZY, and not in a good way. I think it's sad, I think it's unhealthy on so many levels, and I think that if we are not careful we will teach our next generation that this is ok. I do not think it is. What do you think about it?

I think this is freaky, and just plain wrong. Is this really what we want out lives to be about. What ever happened to living. I can't imagine putting so much time and effort, into stocking up on stuff that is bad for you. I don't see these people stocking up on fresh fruit and vegetable, hello? Even if you offered me cartloads of this stuff free, without any work on my part, I'd still kindly tell you no thanks. It's just not how we eat, and I hate seeing people think it's ok. I really wish I could knock some sense into them. 

For the record, please don't be offended if you use coupons. I gladly use them too, on occasion. I also love scoring a good deal, I'm not stupid. But honestly getting a ton of processed food, toxic cleaners,  toxic personal care products, and a bunch of other things I would not normally use for free is just plain silly. Then complaining about the cost of all the meds you need to take because you have diabetes, high blood pressure, and endless other diet induced illnesses. Heaven forbid you stop eating all that junk, even if it's free. 

Again, I know that many of you use coupons, I'm not hating on you. From what I've seen you are realistic on what you buy, and I respect that. Have a plan, buy what you need, stock up on things that make sense. Let's take some responsibility for our national health problems. Let's all try to make better choices, and that might mean, skipping over those coupons for $1.00 hamburger helper, and a 2 liter coke. Sorry people I just see so much wrong with the whole coupon system as it is. It seriously thrives on the less fortunate, getting them hooked more and more, on the least healthy foods, and putting our society in even worse physical shape than it's already in. I wish there was a healthy, and responsible way to save money on our grocery bill, without compromising out health, and environment in the process. 

Your thoughts please!!
