    Moving forward, less time should be devoted to planning and logistics--this is suspenseless television--and more to motivations. There's a "Hoarders" in here, dying to be redeemed.

    It's strange how a show meant to generate excitement and promote thriftiness can leave one with a sense of remorse and shame.

I also find it very funny because it reminds me of when my mom when she goes grocery shopping and uses many coupons. Although she is not extreme like the individuals in this show, I think it has really grabbed many viewers attention that you can save a lot of money using coupons. This show is very exciting and it really keeps your attention throughout the show. One thing that I like what the customers do is they create a stock pile and give supplies and food to homeless shelters. I think this is a great way to impact the community and to give back. TLC is a network that I do not watch often but this is one show that I do like to watch. Also being a college student I have received many ideas on how to save money and how stocking up can be good. A downside of this show is that sometimes the customers buy products that you usually won't buy a lot of. For an example one customer bought over a hundred bottles of aspirin and over a hundred bottles of shampoo. This is a product that you don't use often and it was kind of useless for them to buy that much of one product. Overall this is a great show and it is very amusing to watch.… Full Review »
