Default Extreme Couponing

They are not particularly intelligent and get caught up in the "it was
on sale" mentality. They do not think realistically about their actual
needs and they also don't think about their diet since most coupons are
for pre-fab high fat/sugar/salt junk foods. In their minds it's only the
"I got $500 of stuff for $50" and the fact that their medical cause will
increase by more than the savings as a result of the poor diet is no a
consideration, nor is the fact that most of the products have very
inflated prices to begin with and they could buy better food for less
than their "extreme coupon" savings.
