Get in on the YMMV Movie Contest today! Winner's Picked in Post #37

[hotcouponmama]

If you haven't already seen it on the site, Hotcouponworld is one of the featured sites in the video (and I didn't look like too big of a goofball in it) so we're helping Sam (riffparker) by promoting the video AND we're going to give away a few copies of it this week!

You have to post a funny, crazy, or chaotic coupon story in this thread to qualify.

We're going to give away 4 copies of the movie this week. But here's the caveat....once you watch it, we'd also like you to review it for us. That would be both here and on Amazon.com if you could.

LINK to YMMV Movie

If you want to buy the movie now, you can do it through that link and if you win, we'll reimburse you for it instead of sending you another copy.

I watched it the other night for the first time - it was funny, insightful, and some parts were downright hysterical.

Plus, you'll get to "meet" at least a few of the members from here who were in the movie.

This contest ends on February 1st, after the SuperBowl, so get in now so I can get the winners picked and in the mail on Monday!

I have one from just last night! I went to CVS to get the huggies deal and the Advil Cold and Sinus deal, the cashier tried to say I couldn't get 3 of the cold and sinus, once she finally agreed to let me she asked for my ID (law here in Florida, not sure if everywhere) anyway, she comes out with- "wow, you are only one year older than me..." okaaaayyyy..... I smile, the way she said it told me what was coming next.....and here it is- "I would have guessed a LOT older!"

The funniest part is how nice she was the whole time, I don't think she meant to hurt my feelings, and I didn't let her, but man, that stung a bit. I am 27 and exausted from being up all night and day with a sick baby, lol, she didn't have to point it out! LOL

She also tried to analyze every coupon I gave her, and I had to remind her to ring them all in, she kept 'forgetting'

it was NOT my favorite CVS trip ever- thats for sure! But getting 2 jumbo packs of huggies and 3 things of advil for 5 dollars OOP made it ok!

Y'all really need to enter this contest! I got my copy earlier in the week and it was hysterical! Not only is it educational, but seeing the faces that go with the names was fun too. What I really want to know though is how much kraft mac & cheese was in the stockpile??

Can we enter even if we are boring couponers? LOL I seriously don't have any funny, crazy coupon stories. About as funny as it gets is my DH's cousin keeps asking me why I need so many Altoids. My response, "Duh, because they were F-R-E-E!" (See, boring couponer, LOL.) :)

Okay, here's a good one for you.

I'm at CVS last week picking up a few things, including the KY Yours & Mine. Figured the husbo might not mind giving that a test drive .

I'd found a ton of clearance stuff, so I had quite a few items in my cart, and there was a big line anyway, so I just leafed through a magazine while I waited. Only one cashier open, so the line was getting longer...and longer...

There's a girl immediately behind me, and I can hear her getting really, um, annoyed, I guess? She's on the phone with I assume her boyfriend, and she keeps saying "Yes, I have it. There's a line, you're gonna have to wait, jeez!"

Finally, as I get right up to the front, the older woman at the register calls for help, and who comes to the rescue but my favorite, the hunkiest, super-studliest cashier you have ever seen in your life. I get a little extra-happy, because I'm next, AND he's gonna ring me out. Until I remember I have the KY stuff, and suddenly, uncharacteristically, I get all shy. I don't want to stand up there and turn red like a goofball. So, I decide to throw the girl behind me a bone and let her go first.

Only she won't. What the? "No, really, I don't mind. Please, be my guest." She acts all not-in-a-hurry, but I know better. "No, seriously, I have this big cart, you just have the one thing!" She's shaking her head, and saying, "No thanks, I'll wait," and looking freaked out.

Now the line is getting mad at us both, so I start to insist. I mean, seriously, what could be more embarassing than super-lube, anyway?

Uh, yeah. That's when I notice what that one item she has actually is. So I smile at her, and suck it up, and put my magic love goo on the counter in front of Mr. Gorgeous and smile right in his face. He doesn't bat a hunky eye at it, and I get out of there in one piece.

And let the poor girl buy her box of Extenze All-Natural Male Enhancement from the near-sighted senior citizen at the other counter.

And hand her my extra KY coupon on the way out the door.

Ah, random acts of kindness...

So last week I was shopping with my twin 3-year olds and 9 month old infant at Safeway - we had run out of milk (ugh!) and are on like the 5th errand of the day, so they are starting to get grumpy. Plus, I am trying to do the buy 5 get $5 off juice deal, and a few others. So I am in line bribing my 3 year old DS (who is actually a cockroach - he loves sugar) with a free hershey bar if he will just stop trying to throw everything out of the cart (yes, he is in the basket; my daughter is in the seat; the infant is strapped to me) and trying to get my coupons out. The guy behind me is acting hateful even though it is not even my turn in line! When I get up the register, he is actually sighing and tapping his foot - I am admonishing my son while trying to make sure the correct amount of money is taken off. When I hear my 3 yo DD say "not nice. no choc bar for you" I almost peed my pants. My son thought she was talking to him and started screaming that he was being good - but she was looking right at the man behind us. I think he got the point - he stopped tapping his foot. I just smiled (and gave her extra chocolate in the car). My DD has a very limited vocabulary and is very shy - but she already knows at the age of 3 that you should show some manners in public.

I don't have any good ones yet, but I have a great one from when I was about 13 shopping with my mom. She kept her coupons in one of those plastic clunky canceled check holders. My sister, mom and I are grocery shopping, little sister is whining about how long it's taking and this lady walks past us. She sees the mega coupon box, stops does a double take and yells at full volume (and I have to emphasize full volume here.) "HOLY MOLY THE COUPON LADY! WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THOSE COUPONS? FROM MAGAZINES OR SOMETHING?" Mom keeps a straight face and gives some polite answer and lady walks away. Meanwhile, sis and I are laughing so hard we can barely stand up. This had to have been at least 15 years ago, but it is one of my most vivid memories of shopping when I was younger.

I actually didn't have much of any. I am sure that the Kraft folks are going to hate me, but I was just trying to make the point that coupons aren't just about getting mac and cheese, which is what people who don't agree with them thing they are - for just junk foods...we all know better than that.

I am pretty new to using coupons so i don't really have many majorly funny ones. This is as close as it gets. I have a 4 year old daughter who loves coupons as much as I do. She collects blinkies fro me in the grocery store. Anyway we went to kroger with the .50/1 cottonelle q that came out which we all know equals free tp. My daughter just had to push the little buggy that kroger has and do the shopping herself. So we are in the tp aisle a kroger and there is a lady that has probaly 30 packs of the free ac cottonelle. She is counting her coupons and we go to get our 4 packs of free cottonelle, ( the last 4) my daughter puts in it her little buggy and I am looking fo something else and i hear get your hand off my potty paper lady. I turn around and this lady has her hand in my dd buggy and has her tp. My dd looked at her and said did your mommy not teach you it is not nice to steal from people. We got home and my dd had to tell her dad about it, she told him, the lady tried to steal my potty paper but i fixed her. I told her it was not nice to steal and that we have to share and she needed to sit in time out!

We still see that lady every once in awhile. She walks by and will not even look at my daughter.
