Extreme Couponer gives shopping to homeless

    This guy used all his coupons to get a 99% reduction on shopping and gave it all away. Some of the people you see on extreme coupons could take a leaf from this guy. I've seen people buy a trolley full of disposable razors, it's doing nothing but going to waste!!
    A teenager who collected hundreds of coupons bought almost £600 of shopping for just 4p – and then gave the food away to needy families.

    ‘Extreme couponer’ Jordan Cox scoured magazines and websites to collect discount vouchers for everyday products.

    Armed with 470 coupons, Jordan then went to his local Tesco and filled three trolleys with food and household items.

    His bill came to £572.16 and Jordan had a nervous hour-long wait at the checkout as he presented his discount vouchers. But even he was stunned when – after his coupons were deducted from the bill – his new total stood at just 4p, a saving of 99.81 per cent.

    This is really nice thing to hear coming up to christmas :D

    I didn't think that was possible outside of the US.

    reminds me of the free washing detergent of last year???

    was it that long ago!!!!!

    Have since run out of the free ironing water (which we were paid to take away)

    Oh the memories, and how the stock pile has seriously depleted

    I am sure the 16 year old had to put a huge effort into doing this. It really is amazing to see some one so young doing something like that to help needy families at Christmas.

    it is nice, but on the other hand this is why companies do not issue as many coupons and most shops issue vouchers with unique number that can be used only once by specific customer ...

    This couponing forum has been dead for last couple of months ..
