Anti-Couponer at Walmart

Anti-Couponer at Walmart
9:10 am Monday, June 27, 2011

I was at Walmart this morning buying a few thing with coupons.  The checkout lady asked if I watched the show Extreme Couponing. I told her I'd heard of it but I haven't ever seen it.  This lady two people back in line started yelling, "those people on that show are hoarders!!! All coupon users are hoarders!!!  They keep boxes of cereal under their kid's beds and have 20 things of hot sauce just because it is a good deal!  Coupon users are hoarders!" 

I was a little embarrassed at first (more for the lady than for myself) because she was yelling this... everyone around was watching.  I calmly said, "yes, some couponers do hoard things but I do not.  See, I only have one bag of stuff". She didn't say anything else and I left.

I was so glad that I was able to stay calm in the situation. I am not used to people yelling at me for any reason so I was a little in shock.  I took the advice of my favorite coupon blogs, hip2save and krazycouponlady and was very kind to the woman. I hope my kindness will help change her perception of coupon users.  Yes, while some people take it to extremes, not all couponers are hoarders.

I did giggle a little bit when I left though because I do have about 6 things of hot sauce in my kitchen cabinet and I don't even use hot sauce. haha.
