ABC's What Would You Do? - Extreme Couponing 

"Times are tough, but time is money" one of the truest things I've ever heard!

Dude, honestly I wouldn't mind at all if I had to wait in line for a lady using coupons, if she's using a lot of coupons is because she actually really needs to use them, and I'll respect that. However, if she starts going back and forth for more things, then I would get upset, because you have to be organized and also think about other people, not just yourself.

Couponing is not bad as long as your organized. The problem is she wasn't organized.

The first dude looks like he’s done with everything in this life.

Stores should have a line specifically for coupon users.

"I've never been more excited to be in a supermarket!"

I love that they put Traci in the line to instigate

My mom used to do this. It was so embarrassing... but it was kind of important, since we were a little impoverished.

cashier: i need my manager John Quinones comes out lady: are you the manager is he the manager :D haha lol

I'm a couponer, but I would NEVER do anything like this woman. I have my coupons ready to hand the cashier and all my stuff together. I think anyone, couponer or not, that continues shopping after they're in line is inconsiderate and rude. No matter who you are, you should have common courtesy.

I used to work in retail like this and some people would have full baskets with all these coupons for everything. People would put all these excess and bogus coupons, even for items that aren't in their basket, in an attempt to annoy you and get you so frustrated that you accept them all and override them through. I took my time, though, and checked each and every one. If they were gonna waste my time, I was sure gonna make sure they wouldn't swindle me. There was always a large clump of expired or unnecessary coupons in a pile that I would hand back to them at the end.

Lady: "Are you the manager?" John being slapped on face.

These two actors are the best I've seen so far, their acting was so natural and real

4:55 "Why are you helping her?", " I don't know, I don't know, I don't know" LMFAO

"and you are holding up the price is right line"🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

I'm a cashier and when ever a customer wants to go back to get more stuff I just suspend the order and put their stuff aside until they have everything they need.

“You holding up the price is right line “ 😭😂😂😂😂 I’m screaming she sound like every black mom 😭😂😂😂

When I saw Traci I recognized her right away. She's in a lot of WWYD episodes.

*Traci suddenly appearing behind that woman* "Why are you helping her?" 😂😂

Wow I pray if I ever marry a man that he have the patience of the first guy ❤️

The first man is incredible. How could anyone stand there so patiently for 20 minutes?

she said "platanos on sale..lol" got to love my fellow latinos..lol

About 3 hours, but they flew me in anyway.

Once at Safeway grocery store in Oregon a lady had this kind of coupons and Manager opened a cashier just for coupons. It worked out perfect. Love their Customer service!

Grandma was about to snap

Once the angry people realized they'd be on TV, they were just fine with having to wait 🤣😂🤣😂

That guys laugh is my favorite thing ever

I work at a retail store and this is what I have to say; each customer deserves their transaction to be courteous and patient. I really get in to a case where I get a line building up but I can call back up but never would I say anything directly to the customer regarding coupons holding up the line. Just offer to suspend the transaction for the moment, most people realize that they are holding up a line.

I do "extreme coupon-ing" and I can tell you that the most "extreme" part about it is making sure you've selected your rebates properly before cashing out.. I always have the coupons in line and ready and if people get in line behind me, I let them go ahead if I can so they aren't inconvenienced (or if I'm experiencing a glitch, I tell the cashier to void the entire transaction, which usually prompts the manager to come up and they tend to ring me out then so we can overcome the issues) I have walked out after paying nothing but tax or with rebates that make me money in the end. I bought 24 bottles of shampoo for $0.25 each and 16 bottles of conditioner for nothing in one transaction(no limit coupons that are rare nowadays). I don't pay more than $0.99 per bottle for laundry detergent... I've gotten countless tubes of toothpaste for free or less than $0.50 each.. I email mine and my husbands razor maker once a year for coupon(which they always send out at least $40 for new razor sets and cartridges so I pay next to nothing for them...) Maybe only 3-5% of the time does a transaction run over 5 minutes, and I hardly purchase more than 8-10 items at a time either unless I have to hit a certain subtotal to get a discount or use a coupon.

I love this scenario idea!!! As an Extreme Couponer featured on TLC, I've experienced my fair share of holding lines up with coupons (definitely nothing like this though) It helps make it more tolerable for those behind me when I strike up conversation & usually wind up helping them save money by giving them coupons =)

I agree. If they can't wait in line they should go to another one or just leave the store and come back another time. I even got chewed out by some other customers when I was paying for my purchase with loose change. Anything we do will set people off. They are the ones with the problem

John: Clip them coupons...Save that money, but just don't waste your fellow shoppers' time...😁 Fellow Shopper: Like y'all just did for this experiment?...😩

1. Seeing someone sticking it to the man by getting free stuff always makes people happy LOL! 2. Contrary to popular belief almost all extreme couponers know what they are doing and know how to shop without "forgetting" something and when to shop like busy hours vs non-busy hours/days. 3. Stores that know they have extreme couponer customers usually will open a separate line for them as to not annoy regular customers.

lol that first guy has the patience of a saint

As a cashier myself I would’ve been “ Aww hell naw” and yeeted out of that line.

Lol the caption about the angry man putting back his groceries and yelling at the Producers is hilarious

Never heard of this show, but this is so true to life. I got stuck behind a woman with coupons once, she took ages to be served.

This is my ALL TIME FAVE episode!! LMAO!!! I love the woman @ 5:22 that says, "Oh no, we're not going through this!" LOLOL!! And that tall man is the most patient man I've ever seen! I'd handle the situation with patience only if I were RIGHT BEHIND that pain in the ass lady with coupons! Only then would I not lose my cool! lol!

The "Price is Right exchange" is hilarious

I know it's been a few years, but it's never too late for a congratulations on getting your idea broadcast, Doug!! How fun!

i use coupons, but i have them ready when i get to the register. i usually have ten or fifteen dollars worth, but i try to make sure that i'm not being totally rude.

Thanks Doug. I recently discovered this show, and I've been watching it here in RU-vid. Thanks for your comments along the video, it's pretty nice to see how they pull these things through.

lolllllllll @ old black women who are always straight up ..."and u holdin up the price is right line"

_self checkout_

Years ago when I was a cashier at Walmart, there was a lady that had tons of coupons. She stapled them all together. No joke.

This might be the only What would you do episode that I laugh too much.

That's just "being behind a rude ass." I coupon, and I always have my items bunched up together and my coupons in-hand when I get to the register. It doesn't take me any longer to check out than anyone else.

Couponers save a ton of money. However, they also follow coupon ethics. This means getting your grocery transaction prepared ahead of time instead of at the last minute. However, there are those who want to clean the shelves. Horrible.

love this segment. awesome idea. i started couponing (not extreme but somewhat dedicated) a few months ago and this, THIS is my biggest fear EVER. I'm always scared my coupons would have some issue and i'd hold up the line and people would get annoyed/mad at me. i always double/triple check all of my coupons and my cart before even hitting the register. always think about how you'd feel if you were in other people's shoes and have to wait forever because someone just could not get their sh*t together. this would never happen if people learn to be more considerate. as one man in the video said...saving money is important but remember that time is also money. couponing is fun though. my favorite part (besides the saving money) is the look on the cashier and other customer's faces when they see me walking away after paying only $0.10 or something... or even nothing lol

"It's like the price is right!" Haha xD

One time I was in line behind a woman at BJ's who had about 50 coupons. When her total came up she had saved literally $100 and change. Not only that but she was organized and apologized for taking so long. The only thing I said to her was, "Where did you get those? I'm jealous."

The second guy dying laughing would be me if John came up to me😂😂

you holding up the price is right line lmaooo

You're holding up the price is right line classic lol

You got me with this one! 100% of all of your episodes almost had me in tears at how I’d stand up for someone. I’m even cool with extreme couponing, but I would have LOST MY MIND if this woman kept leaving the line to get other items! I would have been one of those people to get furious and look like a butthead on your show! For sure!

It's funny how they don't mind waiting even longer to talk to a tv crew so apparently they don't mind waiting if they are on tv

This reminds me of my cashier days. We had two old ladies who would come in the store spend hours looking for outdated stuff so that they can get there groceries FREE. Deal was if you find something outdated you can get that same item. But get one that is not outdated free.

I am mad patient to wait in line, especially with headphones in my ear, but going back and forth all the time to get stuff that should have been in your cart is inconsiderate.

This happened to me at Walmart...it hurt so bad. I thought I was gonna snap, I didn’t know there was coupons for produce. Why are they passing her everything? HELL NO! I would have lost my damn mind 😂

I snapped when she said “you know what, you had the Plátanos on sale”. My fellow Caribbean’s....if you know. You know. Likee

This isnt about extreme couponing as much as it is holding up the register to grab other things.

It's like the old joke about being in hell. There are 15 people in front of you all their carts of full. None of the items are marked the cashier doesn't speak English and everyone's paying by check. hahaa

"Are you the manager? Is he the manager?" "No. I'm John Quoninos".

If your an extreme couponer you have to do 2 things. 1 be organized and 2 have a famous person bail you out.

John has the friendliest smile.

I wish they would do one on School Bullying, Because There's A Lot Of Kids being Bullied In Elementary Schools, JR. and High Schools, Not Just Their Fellow Classmates However, But Their School Teachers Too.

I work as a cashier and this annoys me so much especially when they don't keep them organized then I gotta hunt through bags to get prices and especially o. Express

Patience is a virtue. ✌ But, honestly I would have probably been so annoyed after waiting a super long time lmao.

I loved the little captions at the bottom of this video. It was some great WWYD trivia :)

That's the thing. They closed all the lines and left only this line open so everyone had to wait for "crazy coupon lady" to get through. They do get all the food items they brought to the cashier for free (paid for by ABC) for being put through this after they find out they are on WWYD.

Thanks for the captions dude! Really interesting to read

Man if I was stuck in a line like that for like 10minutes I'd shop somewhere else. Man do some ppl get stupid impatient.

They're happy to help her because if they do it, the sooner she gets out the way!

Your comments were amazing. Love the behind the scenes info!

If they're organized I'm fine, if they're taking forever because they don't know what they're doing then I'm gonna be pissed.

I was doing some late grocery shopping once, I had a cart full of food. People behind me only had bread and milk or even just eggs. I allowed them to go ahead of me because they only had one to three items. Anyway, usually you have to warn the cashier that you're a coupon hoarder and they'll most likely open another cash register for normal people.

They didn’t have a problem with her using coupons.. they had a problem with her being unorganized and how she had to keep running back and forth for more things, you should have everything you need when you get in line.. I understand forgetting one or two things it’s happened to everyone probably more than once, but this was ridiculous, every item that was scanned she would need another item.

The same goes for college kids with their ramen and all that. that's why I hit the grocery store most days. Spend 10 minutes grabbing things, another 10 in line with with your 10-30 items. Nobody's held up this way; it's called being considerate of others. The problem with extreme couponers it that they have to buy 30 packages of toilet paper and 5000 bottles of mustard to get their deals, and they don't care a lick who's behind em. They leave the line I'll move their cart to the end myself.

Hah, my mom's an extreme couponer, but she's quick because she organizes them all in a binder and gets them ready before hand. Trust me, if there was a zombie apocolypse, we would easily survive!!

I'm speaking about towards the end when they moved everyone over to one line and that's when people started to get upset. At first they did have more than 1 lane open (2 lines open I recall) but they were both backed up because 1 line was packed with people not wanting to wait for "coupon lady" and then the line with the "coupon lady" was not moving. So thats why at the end they wanted to see how people would react when the only line open was the "coupon lady".

I really enjoyed watching this with the added commentary! Thanks! :D

I completely agree. I am a fellow couponer and I do not act like this whatsoever. I am very considerate of others and I think that this segment of WWYD just encourages people to think of couponers as bad people. I am sick and tired of people hating me once they see that I am carrying coupons. It only takes me about five minutes longer than anyone else that doesn't use coupons and I easily save $70.00 a week. People need to stop judging couponers based on the stigma that has been shown.

The show wasn't about coupons - it was about "BOILING POINT" which is already a TV show! A real SUPER COUPONER would have all the stuff there and just present the coupons. This was about a unorganized lady who was taking people's patience to the limit. Asking for extra stuff from customers after she was in line...hell no. I would have said GET ME A MANAGER IN 30 SECONDS OR I WALK AND ALL THESE PEOPLE WILL WALK WITH ME. ---MANAGER: open a second register and run it yourself!

Nope. As soon as you leave for any reason you're not in line anymore, go to the back.

5:06 "Oh is this What Would You Do? GETTING READY TO KICK HER ASS!" LOL that woman was funny

OMG I am rolling right now. Lol Can you hand me those CapriSuns? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

All you gotta do is not get into a line with a black cashier. They would not put up with all that couponing .😂

Put a marine scout sniper in there, he'll teach you patience.

the only thing worse than the use of a bunch of coupons is the arguing over them with the clerk especially when the line is getting longer.

The thing that gets me is not one single person came up with the idea of telling her, “finish up this round of shopping. Then go back through the store again.” Simple solution.

Once in Walmart the lady in front of me had so many coupons she actually got money back from the cashier instead of having to pay anything. It was pretty crazy seeing her make money from shopping. Took forever in line also so I couldn't help but watch.

I hope they bought that first guys groceries because of how patience😟😂

John : were back at it again Me: *back at it again with dirty white vans*

This episode is so funny. Couponers no noy to be rude or disrespectful to other shopers, thats why they got everything ready to go

This happened to my mother once at a local GIANT, and I swear to god and back I wanted to slap her silly. But when you are getting the groceries, get EVERYTHING not just what you can carry.

Lmao I used to be an extreme couponer but thank God they never closed any other lines. I never used to go back for stuff though.

Self scan machines?

Thanks for adding the commentary of random tidbits. It made it interesting. I've watched about two dozen of these WWYD clips on youtube so it was cool reading about the inner workings. Ya know I had a feeling that John Q would be a really nice guy. Even though he doesn't necessarily do or say anything particularly nice or mean on the show, you can just tell.

4:09 he is cracking up 😂😂
