This week’s syndicated Super-Couponing Tips column is entitled “Extreme Coupon Charades.” Here’s an excerpt:
“It shouldn’t surprise anyone that reality television is often anything but real. While the television show “Extreme Couponing” was canceled two years ago, it lives on in syndication. Whenever it airs in reruns, readers write with questions about what they’re seeing on TV:
‘I was watching “Extreme Couponing” on TV the other day. I did notice on a couple of the shows where the couponer bought $1,000 or so of food and accessories for 1 cent and everybody was happy that they paid nothing for all that food.
Who pays the taxes that are clearly listed on the tape register? You may have a 1-cent balance after all the coupons are run, but somebody has to pay the taxes, and I’m sure it’s not the store.'”
