I would love to have seen this too! Anyone know where we can watch it?

I watched it. It was ok. They always find the two most different families they can, and this week was no different.

I was mad when the new mom wanted to trash the coupon binder, I was watching it like "nooooooooooooooo, there are hundreds of dollars in there!!!"

And when the dad said "couponing is great, today I went to the drug store for cough medicine" I was thinking "Robi at Walgreens!!"

I agree with the coupon family, I am a SAHM and my hubby works full time, and we make just enough, I would GLADLY clip coupons to save money, long before my hubby got another job so I could have my hair done all the time.

Haha, I thought of the robitussin too :) LOL

I was annoyed because they weren't just saving to help, they were saving so her husband didn't have to work as much (or so they made it seem) they were also cheap with their kids activities and such. But, I think after the swap it looks like they might change.

My husband hates the show... he says I already have enough drama in my life :) LOL I think hes right :)

I thought it was ok but ridiculous in showing them cutting one coupon at a time. Also it would have been nice if they showed the thousands of dollars in products that mega couponers can donate..... Just my two cents.

The episode with the couponing family is being repeated tonight Friday 6/5/09 - right now 8pm EST - on ABC.

It was re-run last night, I watched with dh and mil. We were laughing our butts off. Of course they made the couponing mom look like a total nerd. And when the new mom had to clip coupons, they showed her clipping for like 2 days straight. I wouldn't do it either if I had to spend 2 days a week clipping, lol.

Hubs said he was glad they made couponing look stupid, because then no one will want to do it. He's always afraid that stores are going to wise up to what we do and stop giving stuff away.
