Teri Gault of The Grocery Game Discusses Extreme Couponing
Type: News

With the success of TLC's "Extreme Couponing" TV series has come a lot of criticism of this practice, with many viewers taking to the Internet with questions of when extreme couponing turns into hoarding.

According to a release, Teri Gault, founder and CEO of TheGroceryGame.com, a grocery savings website, recently took to her blog in a three-part series discussing TLC's Extreme Couponing and how much is "too much" when it comes to extreme couponing.
"I think the root of hoarding or stocking up applies to all of us and goes back to the beginning of mankind; we all have something in us that should compel us to store up food," said Gault on the Grocery Game blog. "This is healthy and normal, and fine when it's kept in check."

One of the main concepts of saving money with The Grocery Game is the idea of "investing" in products when they are at their lowest sales point in order to stay stocked up until the next time they hit their rock-bottom low price (the sales cycle is about twelve weeks).

"'Investing' is not 'hoarding,' but rather, just smart shopping," said Gault. "However, finding something you often use on a regular basis at a savings of 70 percent off or more may cause you to buy it even though you've invested enough already. If you have enough of one product to last for at least twelve weeks, you probably don't need to buy more of it, even though it's a killer deal."
