THIS USED TO BE MY LIVING ROOM,
BUT IT IS NOW MY STOCKPILE ROOM. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
[ LAUGHS ] I FEEL THAT A COUPONER
IS DEFINED BY HER STOCKPILE. EVERYTHING IN HERE RIGHT NOW
IS FREE. SHE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST WINS. COUPONING HAS ALMOST BECOME
AN ILLNESS FOR ME. I DO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE
THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY. GETTING CLOSER. I SEE THAT. ON TODAY'S TRIP, MOM AND DAD ARE
GONNNA TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL. AAH!
WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? TURN THE WHEEL. YOU JUST GO.
YOU LET GO. I'M SCARED. I'M VERY SCARED. WE NEED THOSE.
THERE'S 120 OF THEM. Josh:
WHY ARE YOU CRYING? THAT'S 120 COUPONS GONE. THAT'S OKAY. NO, IT'S NOT. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] DO YOU THINK
WE CAN PULL THIS OFF? WELL, SURE, I THINK
I CAN PULL IT OFF. I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU IN TROUBLE
IF I AIN'T. THE SHOPAHOLIC IN ME LOVES
WATCHING THE NUMBERS GO UP, AND THE COUPONAHOLIC LOVES
WATCHING THE NUMBERS GO DOWN. ARE THEY COMING OFF, DAD?
ARE THEY COMING OFF? YES! YES! YES! --<font color="#FFFF00"> Captions by VITAC --</font><font color="#00FFFF">

DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS OH, SHE BETTER BE UP. [ LAUGHS ] IF I CAN GET UP,
AS OLD AS I AM, AND GET STARTED,
SHE BETTER BE UP. HEY,
GET UP IN THERE! DUMMY, GET UP. [ DOORBELL RINGING ] [ SCOFFS ] AMANDA! GET UP! WHY AIN'T YOU UP? IT IS 7:00
IN THE MORNING. WE GOT TO
GET ON THE BALL. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT? YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO
START COUPONING ON YOUR OWN. [ CASH REGISTER DINGS ] MY NAME IS AMANDA, AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER
IN LIFE THAN GETTING EVERYTHING
FOR FREE. EVERYTHING IN HERE RIGHT NOW
IS FREE. I DIDN'T PAY A DIME
FOR ANYTHING. I FEEL THAT A COUPONER
IS DEFINED BY HER STOCKPILE. SHE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST WINS. I HAVE ENOUGH SUGAR AND CAKE MIX THAT I COULD BAKE A CAKE
THAT I COULD JUMP OUT OF. I REALLY LOVE COUPONING. IT'S LIKE MY CHILD. I LOVE IT. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE SHOW,
I GOT $462.17 FOR ONLY $74.07. YES! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] FINALLY. THE SAVINGS WAS SO ADDICTING, NOT ONLY FOR ME
BUT ALSO MY PARENTS. MY MOM PRETTY MUCH DECLARED
TO THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD THAT SHE IS EL PRESIDENTE. Ann: WHEN I TELL THEM TO CUT,
I MEAN TO CUT. SHE'LL SAY,
"MOM, AIN'T YOU GONNA CUT?" I'LL SAY,
"NO, I'M EL PRESIDENTE." I DO ALL THE GROCERY SHOPPING
FOR MY PARENTS. WE ALL PARTAKE IN THE STOCKPILE,
BUT MOM DOESN'T GO TO THE STORE. MOM THINKS THAT
SHE SHOULD SIT ON HER THRONE AND TAKE CAT NAPS
AND GIVE ORDERS. I TELL THEM
WHAT TO DO. SINCE THEN,
SHE'S BECOME WELL-KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY
AS EL PRESIDENTE. Woman:
EL PRESIDENTE! WHOO-HOO! Ann:
HEY, IT'S ME. LOOK AT ME. I AM SO POPULAR TILL NOBODY
CAN STAND IT ANYMORE. I'M EL PRESIDENTE. [ LAUGHS ] MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE
IS WORK AND COUPONING AND SPENDING TIME
WITH MY FAMILY. I BARELY HAVE TIME
TO DO WHAT I'M DOING, AND RECENTLY, I JUST FOUND THAT
MY MOM HAS MADE BUSINESS CARDS BEHIND MY BACK DECLARING THAT I CAN
TEACH COUPONING CLASSES. HELLO. CAN I PERSUADE YOU
TO TAKE A CARD? AND SHE'S BEEN GOING AROUND TOWN
GIVING THEM OUT TO EVERYONE. SHE'S INSANE. IT'S TERRIBLE. Ann:
I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD COUPON. THAT WOULD BE THE WAY OF IT,
YOU KNOW. CALL THIS NUMBER, AND MY DAUGHTER
IS THE ONE THAT DOES IT, AND YOU'LL SAVE 75%
OFF OF YOUR GROCERY BILL. THAT WOULD HELP A LOT.
THANK YOU. YES, IT WILL. Man: YEAH, I COULD SAVE
A LOT OF MONEY ON MY SHAVING CREAM
FOR MY HEAD. FOR YOUR CHIN, TOO. Amanda: MY MOTHER CLAIMS
THAT I CAN TEACH CLASSES. I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME FOR IT. I'M TOO BUSY AS IT IS. THEY'RE HERE EVERY
WEEKEND MORNING AT 7:00 A.M. WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. THEY HAVE THEIR LISTS READY. THEY'RE READY
FOR ME TO WORK, WORK, WORK. I LOVE COUPONING,
BUT MY PARENTS -- THEY'RE EXHAUSTING ME. [ SIGHS ]
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. QUIT PUSHING ME. GET IN THERE. NO. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? TODAY, I'M GONNA
LAY DOWN THE LAW TO MY PARENTS. I'M TIRED.
I WORK LONG HOURS. I NEED A BREAK. AMANDA WANTS TO TAKE A BREAK,
BUT NO WAY. IT MEANS NO PRODUCT'S COMING IN
FOR US TO PUT UP. HERE'S THE THING.
YOU GUYS CAN GO TO THE STORE. YOU COULD DO IT. HOW ARE WE
GONNA DO IT? HOW ABOUT THIS?
TOMORROW, WE GO SHOPPING. I'LL CLIP THE COUPONS. I'LL MAKE THE LIST,
AND I'LL GO WITH YOU. YOU HAVE TO
DO THE REST ON YOUR OWN. AND YOU'RE GONNA WATCH
AND MAKE SURE I DON'T MESS UP. SWEAR. IF THIS SUCCEEDS, HOPEFULLY, I CAN GET JUST
A COUPLE SUNDAYS OFF TO REST. MY HUSBAND, MATTHEW,
AND BOTH MY PARENTS ARE HELPING ME PREP
AND GET EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TOGETHER FOR THIS TRIP. WE'RE GONNA DO ABOUT $300
FOR AROUND $50 OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET. THE GOAL
IS TO GET THEM COMFORTABLE SO THEY'LL WANT TO TAKE OVER
AND I CAN STEP BACK, AND SO THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE LOOKING TO DO ABOUT TODAY. TEST TIME --
I HAVE COUPON FOR $0.30 OFF. THE PRODUCT'S
GONNA BE $0.79. HOW MUCH WILL THEY BE? WELL, YOU'LL BE PAYING
19 CENTS A BOTTLE FOR IT. LOOK AT YOU. YOU'LL BE
AN EXTREME COUPONER BEFORE LONG. MAKE SURE
THERE'S 12 OF THOSE. WAIT A MINUTE. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
BOSSING ME? I'M EL PRESIDENTE,
AND DON'T FORGET IT, GIRL. I THINK
IT'S TIME WE IMPEACHED. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS,
BUT YOU BEST SHUT UP. OKAY, GUYS, WELL, I THINK WE'VE GOT
ALL THE COUPONS THAT WE NEED. I'LL MEET YOU GUYS AT THE STORE
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. OKAY. ALL RIGHT,
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. AAH!
WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? TURN THE WHEEL. IT'S GONNA BE CHAOS.
I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT. DAD, I NEED YOU TO KEEP AN EYE
ON THE MONITOR, NOT THE BUGGY. Man:
I'M LOOKING AT THE MONITOR. NOW WHAT IS MY TOTAL FOR TODAY? Amanda:
I'M FREAKING OUT. I FELL LIKE I'M GONNA DIE. ON TODAY'S TRIP, MOM AND DAD
ARE GONNA TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL, AND I'M GONNA STEP BACK
AND WATCH. THEY'VE NEVER GONE COUPONING
BY THEMSELVES. THEY'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT IT
HAD TO BE ME WHO DID THE TRIP. IF THIS SUCCEEDS, HOPEFULLY, THEY MIGHT TRY TO
START COUPONING ON THEIR OWN, AND I CAN GET JUST
A COUPLE SUNDAYS OFF TO REST, SLEEP IN, NO COUPONS --
JUST HAVE SOME TIME OFF. I MADE A REALLY EASY LIST
FOR YOU GUYS TODAY. EVERYTHING IS NUMBERED. STAY BEHIND ME. [ SCOFFS ]
I'M BEHIND YOU. I ALWAYS ENTER FIRST. YEAH, WE KNOW. Ann:
IT'S ALL ABOUT ME. THAT'S WHY I'M EL PRESIDENTE. OKAY, LET'S GET THIS
ON THE ROAD. YOU GO GET MY CART, AND YOU GET YOU A BUGGY
OVER THERE. [ FANFARE ] Man:
COME ON. [ SCOFFS ] YOUR CHARIOT AWAITS,
EL PRESIDENTE. Ann:
DOES IT GOT A HORN? THAT'S THE HORN. WHERE? [ BEEPS ] AH! OKAY, OKAY,
WE GET IT. MY MOTHER DOESN'T DRIVE. WE HAD TO TAKE HER LICENSE AWAY
BECAUSE SHE'S CRAZY ON THE ROAD. OH. OOP, OOP, OOP. AAH!
WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? TURN THE WHEEL. YOU JUST GO. YOU LET GO. OHH. IT'S GONNA BE CHAOS. I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT, 'CAUSE SHE HAS NO CLUE
WHAT SHE'S DOING ON THAT BUGGY. GO THIS WAY. WAIT A MINUTE. MAMA, JUST TURN THE WHEEL. SHUT UP. Man: OKAY,
LET'S GO TO THE NOODLES. [ BEEPING ] CAN YOU MAKE IT OKAY? I'M COMING AROUND. OKAY, HOW MANY
HAVE WE GOT ON THE LIST? UH...62. THESE NOODLES ARE $1.09,
AND I GOT A COUPON FOR $0.50. AND THAT'LL DOUBLE TO $1. THAT MAKES THESE $0.09 A PIECE. OOH-WHEE, I GOT A LOT OF
BRAGGING RIGHTS, DON'T I? BE EASY WITH THE PRODUCT. 17, 18...21, 22, 23, 24... TELL ME,
ARE YOU HEARING ME? WILL YOU HUSH UP
UP THERE, OLD WOMAN? YOU BETTER NOT TELL ME
TO SHUT UP. GREAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A FAMILY FEUD IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE GROCERY STORE. WONDERFUL. 24... YOU BETTER
SHUT UP, TOO. SO, MOM,
WHAT'S ON THE LIST NEXT? THE MUFFIN MIX. Amanda: ON THE MUFFIN MIX,
IT'S KIND OF ONE OF MY CONCERNS BECAUSE THAT BRAND
ACTUALLY MAKES TWO DIFFERENT TYPES
OF MUFFIN MIX -- A HIGHER VALUE
AND A LOWER VALUE. ALL RIGHT, FIND THE BRAND
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. RIGHT HERE. Man: OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE. OKAY, IT SAYS "BOX." SEE, LOOK, BOX. YOU ALWAYS
GOT TO COMPLICATE THINGS. YEAH, THEM ONES OVER THERE
ON THE SHELF ON THE RIGHT -- IT'S NOT BOXES.
THAT'S PACKAGES. RIGHT HERE. THAT'S A GOOD JOB. I DIDN'T THINK
THAT YOU WOULD GET THAT. Amanda: SO FAR, I'M REALLY
IMPRESSED AND VERY PLEASED AT HOW WELL THEY'RE DOING,
SO I'M GETTING MY BREAK. ALL RIGHT,
WE GOT EVERYTHING ON THE LIST, SO LET'S GO
AND CHECK OUT. IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT, OUR
TOTALS SHOULD BE AROUND $300. WE SHOULD PAY AROUND $50
IF EVERYTHING GOES TO PLAN. HEY, HOW ARE Y'ALL? I'M JUST FINE. ARE YOU READY? I AM. OKAY,
LET'S HIT IT. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPING ] DAD, I NEED YOU TO KEEP AN EYE
ON THE MONITOR, NOT THE BUGGY. I'M LOOKING
AT THE MONITOR. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I SHOULD BE THERE. I SHOULD BE
RIGHT THERE WATCHING, BUT I CAN'T BE,
AND IT'S REALLY KILLING ME. EVEN THOUGH I WANT TIME OFF, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT
THAT I'M A CONTROL FREAK. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] YOU THINK
WE CAN PULL THIS OFF? WELL, SURE,
I THINK I CAN PULL IT OFF. I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. NOW, WHAT IS MY TOTAL
FOR TODAY? YOUR TOTAL TODAY
IS $328.79. MY TOTAL SHOULD BE $300,
$310 WITH A BUFFER. 328 BUCKS? THERE'S SOMETHING OFF. DO YOU HAVE
ANY COUPONS TODAY? YES, I GOT
A FEW OF THEM HERE. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] WATCH THEM. MAKE SURE THEY DOUBLE. Man: YES. YOU'RE NOT WATCHING. WELL, SHE AIN'T
DOING NOTHING YET. AMANDA'S MAKING ME MORE NERVOUS
THAN THE COUPONS RIGHT NOW THE WAY
SHE'S DOING OVER THERE. ARE THEY COMING OFF, DAD?
ARE THEY COMING OFF? YES,
THEY COMING OFF. AT THIS POINT,
I'M FREAKING OUT. I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA DIE. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] OKAY, WE'RE DOWN
TO THE LAST COUPON. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] YOUR TOTAL AFTER EVERYTHING
IS $66.34. WHEN I HEARD THAT OUR TOTAL
WAS OVER $66, [SIGHS] I JUST WANTED
TO COLLAPSE RIGHT THERE. IT'S TERRIBLE. YOU DIDN'T BUY ANY MORE
QUANTITIES THAN WHAT WE HAD. NOPE. OH, YOU KNOW
WE DOUBLE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND MADE SURE WE HAD
THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF COUPONS FOR THE RIGHT AMOUNT
OF STUFF. I'M DISAPPOINTED 'CAUSE I REALLY
WANTED TO GET DOWN TO $50. I'M THINKING THAT THE MISTAKE
REALLY HAPPENED WITH MY MATH. I THINK THAT WHEN I WAS DOING
THE LIST AND DOING THE COUPONS, MORE THAN LIKELY,
I GOT DISTRACTED, AND I JUST
ADDED MY TOTALS WRONG. IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED,
BUT I'LL ACCEPT IT. MY TOTAL RETAIL COST
WAS $328.79. I PAID ONLY $66.34
OUT OF POCKET, WHICH GAVE ME A TOTAL
PERCENTAGE SAVINGS OF 80%. Y'ALL PUT EVERYTHING
IN THE BACK. I'M GETTING IN THE TRUCK. I'M VERY PROUD OF MY PARENTS
AT THIS POINT. I SHOWED THEM
THEY COULD DO THIS ON THEIR OWN, SO WHAT WE'VE CAME
TO THE AGREEMENT IS THAT I COULD HAVE
A SUNDAY OFF. JUST KNOWING
THAT I HAVE ONE SUNDAY OFF TO SLEEP IN, IT WAS WORTH
ALL OF THIS CRAZINESS. Ann: COUPONING IS A WAY OF LIFE.
IT'S WAY OF LIFE. IT'S GONNA STAY FOR AS LONG
AS I'M EL PRESIDENTE. THIS USED TO BE MY LIVING ROOM,
BUT IS NOW MY STOCKPILE ROOM. Josh: WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER THE
HOUSE NOW, THAT'S ALL YOU SEE. IT'S COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER
OUR SITTING ROOM. Jess:
IF I HAVE GUESTS COMING OVER, I WANT THEM TO WALK
IN THE FRONT DOOR AND BE LIKE,
"DANG, SHE'S GOT SKILLS." Josh: JESS? YES? WHERE'D MY SHOES GO? [ CASH REGISTER DINGS ] MY NAME IS JESS, AND I'M ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY
ADDICTED TO COUPONING. AHH. COUPONING HAS ALMOST BECOME
AN ILLNESS FOR ME. I DO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE TWO
TO THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY. IT'S JUST RUNNING THROUGH
MY BRAIN CONSTANTLY TO THE POINT
WHERE IT'S GONNA BREAK. GETTING CLOSER. I SEE THAT. YEAH. I LOVE TO SHOP,
AND I WAS A CLOTHING SHOPAHOLIC. I LOVE OPENING THE DOORS OF MY
CLOSET AND JUST LOOKING AROUND, BEING LIKE, "YES, IT'S ALL MINE.
IT'S ALL MINE." [ LAUGHS ] Josh: DIDN'T REALLY MATTER
WHAT IT WAS, SHE WAS CONSTANTLY
JUST BUYING STUFF AND NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION
TO WHAT SHE WAS SPENDING, WHAT WAS GOING OUT OF THE HOUSE. SO, OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH, I WAS SPENDING
AT LEAST $1,000 ON CLOTHES. Josh: IT STARTED BECOMING MORE
AND MORE HARD ON OUR BUDGET TO THE POINT TO WHERE
I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND BE LIKE, "WE REALLY CAN'T AFFORD
FOR YOU TO DO THIS ANYMORE. WE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK." SO, I HAD TO TRADE ADDICTIONS. AND THIS IS MY NEW ADDICTION. THIS USED TO BE MY LIVING ROOM,
BUT IT IS NOW MY STOCKPILE ROOM. AHH, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. IT'S LIKE A SHOPAHOLIC'S DREAM. I GET EVERYTHING I WANT, AND I
HARDLY HAVE TO PAY A PENNY. Josh: WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER THE
HOUSE NOW, THAT'S ALL YOU SEE. IT'S COMPLETELY
TAKEN OVER OUR SITTING ROOM. IF I HAVE GUESTS COMING OVER, I WANT THEM TO WALK
IN THE FRONT DOOR AND BE LIKE,
"DANG, SHE'S GOT SKILLS." IF I HAD TO PICK ONE THING
THAT I HAVE TO KEEP STOCKPILED, IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE
PAPER TOWELS. I PROBABLY BY 20 ROLLS A MONTH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
FOR CHRISTMAS. USUALLY, WE PUT OUR DECORATIONS
ON THE MANTEL, AND OBVIOUSLY THESE PAPER TOWELS
ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SO THE STOCKPILE
IS JUST TAKING OVER MY HOME. STUFF IS PILING UP
FROM THE FRONT 'CAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT
UP THERE ANYMORE. I'VE GOT MAXI PADS,
LAUNDRY DETERGENT. I FIND
THE STOCKPILE EVERYWHERE -- IN THE KITCHEN, IN MY CLOSET,
IN THE BEDROOM. AT THIS POINT,
I'M REALLY READY FOR IT TO STOP. I KNOW THIS IS A LOT AND IT
IS TAKING OVER MY ENTIRE HOUSE, BUT I WILL NEVER STOP
COUPONING AND STOCKPILING. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO OVER
THE SHOPPING LIST FOR THE WEEK. Josh:
ALL RIGHT. EVERY WEEK, WE SIT DOWN
AS A FAMILY AND GO OVER OUR GROCERY LIST. WE NEED TO GET THE STUFF
FOR SPAGHETTI. WE'RE GONNA DO HAMBURGERS
AND CHIPS ON FRIDAY. OKAY. BARBECUE ONE DAY TO USE SOME
OF THAT BARBECUE SAUCE UP. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'VE GOT
SOME STUFF I WANT TO ADD. LUNCH MEAT COUPONS,
CHINESE NOODLES, POTATO CHIPS... DID YOU EAT
ALL THAT WE BOUGHT LAST TIME? DID YOU WRITE IT DOWN? NO, I HAVEN'T
WRITTEN ANY OF IT DOWN. WE DON'T NEED ANY OF IT. WE HAVE TONS OF CHIPS
AND TONS OF ALL THAT STUFF. WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK
WE'RE GONNA DO WITH IT? I'M GONNA BUY IT. I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BUY IT,
BUT WHERE ARE YOU GONNA PUT IT? Josh:
AT THIS WEEK'S MEETING, I KIND OF TOOK
A LITTLE MORE CONTROL OF IT AND DECIDED THAT WE WERE
GOING TO HAVE TO STOP COLLECTING SO MUCH PRODUCT
IN OUR HOME. HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL
ABOUT ALL OF THIS STUFF BEING ALL OVER THE HOUSE? WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY ROOM
TO DO MY HOMEWORK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT
TO PUT STUFF. WE REALLY HAVE TO
FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO START DOING
AT THIS POINT. Jess: SO, JOSH TOLD ME
DURING THE MEETING THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ADD
ANYTHING ELSE TO MY STOCKPILE. EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T NEED
A LOT OF FOOD, THERE'S NO WAY THAT HE'S GONNA
STOP ME FROM SHOPPING. ALL RIGHT,
SO HOW ABOUT WE DO THIS? FOR THIS WEEK,
I'LL TAKE EVERYTHING WE BUY AND WE'LL DONATE IT
TO THE FOOD PANTRY. OKAY.
I'M OKAY WITH THAT. EVERYTHING? EVERYTHING. OKAY. I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THIS IS
AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT THING TO DO, GIVING IT ALL AWAY, BUT MY ADDICTION REALLY,
REALLY WANTS ME TO KEEP IT ALL. Josh: IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE
HARD FOR MY WIFE AT FIRST TO GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY, BUT I THINK
THAT IN THE LONG TERM, ONCE SHE SEES HOW THE GOODS
AFFECT THE COMMUNITY IN SUCH A POSITIVE WAY, THAT'LL BE EVEN MORE REWARDING
FOR HER. SO, WE'VE GOT A DEAL? THIS SHOPPING TRIP -- WE'RE
GONNA DONATE EVERYTHING, RIGHT? YES. OKAY. YES. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. BUT THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU.
THEY'RE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Jess: I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT TODAY. IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HARD FOR ME
TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY. WHY ARE YOU CRYING? BECAUSE
I REALLY WANTED THOSE. YOU READY? YEAH,
LET'S DO THIS. Jess: TODAY, I'M GOING ON
MY BIGGEST SHOPPING TRIP EVER. I'LL BE GETTING ABOUT $900 WORTH
OF PRODUCT. I HOPE TO ONLY PAY SALES TAX, AND I'M GOING TO
DONATE MY ENTIRE HAUL. NEED A BUGGY? YEAH, LET'S GRAB ONE. ALL RIGHT. MY HUSBAND, JOSH,
IS COMING ALONG WITH ME. Josh: NORMALLY,
I DON'T GO SHOPPING WITH JESS, BUT TODAY,
IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HARD FOR JESS TO DONATE EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF
HER SHOPPING ADDICTION. Jess: I'M A LITTLE WORRIED
AS FAR AS MAYBE GETTING THINGS THAT I WANT TO KEEP FOR MYSELF, SO MAYBE HE'LL KEEP ME IN LINE,
MAYBE NOT. [ LAUGHS ] WELL, THE FIRST THING
ON OUR LIST IS SPORTS DRINKS. BUT THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU.
THEY'RE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. MAYBE I CAN KEEP 10. NO, I DON'T THINK
WE NEED TO KEEP ANY. MY ROLE HERE IN THE STORE TODAY IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYTHING SHE GETS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DONATE INSTEAD OF SOMETHING
TO CLOG UP SPACE ON A SHELF. NEXT,
WE NEED THE CHIPS. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GETTING 100 BAGS. THESE CHIPS NORMALLY RETAIL
FOR $1.09. THEY'RE ON SALE THIS WEEK
FOR $0.50. I HAVE A COUPON
FOR $0.25 OFF EACH BAG, WHICH DOUBLES TO $0.50 OFF,
MAKING THEM COMPLETELY FREE. I'M GONNA TRY
TO SNEAK SOME OF THESE HOME. WHOO! GOT IT IN. WHAT'S NEXT? Jess: NEXT WE NEED
THE SANITIZING WIPES. NOT SEEING THEM. THEY'RE USUALLY
ON THIS TOP SHELF. I HOPE
THEY'RE NOT OUT. EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO SMOOTHLY
ON MY SHOPPING TRIP. THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THE CLEANING WIPES
THAT WERE NEXT ON MY LIST -- THE STORE DID NOT HAVE ANY. WHY ARE YOU CRYING? IT'S 120 COUPONS THAT I CUT OUT
THAT WOULD SAVE US $120. I MEAN THAT'S 20%
OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA GET GONE. IT'S OKAY. NO, IT'S NOT. WHY IS IT NOT OKAY? BECAUSE
I REALLY WANTED THOSE. BUT THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS PART OF HER ADDICTION
SHOWING THROUGH -- HER NEED TO KEEP BUYING MORE
AND MORE. SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? I GUESS
WE'LL KEEP SHOPPING. ALL RIGHT. YOU READY? GO CHECK OUT? YES. ALL RIGHT. HEY,
HOW ARE YOU? GOOD,
HOW ARE YOU DOING? GOOD. I HAVE
A TON OF STUFF TODAY. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] I HOPE YOU HAVE A COUPLE HOURS
ON YOUR HANDS. I HAVE NEVER CHECKED OUT
THIS MANY BUGGIES. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] Jess:
IT'S REALLY NERVE-WRACKING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING
I'M GETTING IS FREE. IT'S LIKE, "IT'S ALL MINE.
IT'S ALL MINE," SO... SHUT UP. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] ARE YOU GETTING NERVOUS? I THINK
I'M JUST NERVOUS 'CAUSE I'M THE ONE
THAT PICKS UP THE TAB. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] ALL RIGHT,
YOUR TOTAL COMES TO $804.27. DO YOU HAVE ANY COUPONS
YOU'D LIKE TO USE TODAY? I'VE GOT
A LOT OF COUPONS. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] THE SHOPAHOLIC IN ME LOVES
WATCHING THE NUMBERS GO UP, AND THE COUPONAHOLIC LOVES
WATCHING THE NUMBERS GO DOWN. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] [ SIGHS ] YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE
FANNING HIM AT THIS POINT. HE'S THE ONE
DOING ALL THE WORK. [ DISSONANT BEEP ] OH! UH-OH. SO, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING HAS
GONE WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. [ BEEPING ] Jess: IT'S REALLY SCARY
BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GONNA HAVE TO
START ALL OVER WITH EVERYTHING
WE'D ALREADY SCANNED. SO THE COMPUTER JUST FROZE, BUT THE MANAGER CAME
AND RESET THE COMPUTER, SO I THINK WE'LL SCAN
OUR LAST COUPONS AND BE DONE. [ CASH REGISTER BEEPS ] THEY SCANNED. THAT'S THE LAST STACK OF COUPONS
HE HAS THERE IN HIS HAND. MOMENT OF TRUTH. [ BEEPING CONTINUES ] TOTAL COMES TO $25.30. [ LAUGHS ] BEFORE COUPONS,
MY TOTAL WAS $804.27. AFTER COUPONS, MY TOTAL WAS
$25.30 WITH A SAVINGS OF 96.85%. WE HAVE ABOUT $800
WORTH OF STUFF FOR YOU. Danny: WOW. YEAH. OH, MY GOSH. I'M IMPRESSED
BY JESS' GENEROSITY, THE WAY THAT SHE'S ABLE TO
USE COUPONING IN A POSITIVE WAY TO IMPACT THE COMMUNITY. Jess: EVEN THOUGH I LOVE
SHOPPING AND COUPONING AND HOARDING THINGS
INTO MY HOME, THERE ARE WAYS TO DO THAT AND STILL GIVE BACK
TO THE COMMUNITY. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT. AWESOME.
THANK YOU, GUYS. OH, THANK YOU. IT'S NO PROBLEM. APPRECIATE IT, GUY. NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT.
