The shows are bogus. They grocery store overrides the coupons for the show. I worked for a grocery store for 16 years, all the stores I know have rules about how many coupons can be used at one time. I have read on different coupon sites that some of the people on these shows committed coupon fraud. You can buy coupons on ebay and there are several sites that only sell coupons. I never found that it was worth it. It is a shame you don't have an Aldi's because they are so cheap. If you are not in an area that doubles coupons they aren't worth it for sure. I buy food boxes every month from one harvest ministries and it is an amazing deal. I also can order from supreme outreach. I am in North Carolina so I'm not sure what outreaches would be available in your area but I get a family box for $37.72 that feeds 5 of us for a week.
