Definitely got the hoarder vibe from him. Who seriously needs that much jello! It would have been nice to see him dropping some of that stuff off at a food pantry....which I'm sure he does (at least I hope).
She spent same as other guy, effectively, since she spent $50 and got $20 CATS and he spent $30....Jus' sayin.
There's no "fair" comparison as we all value various items differently.
Great Job Jill!
A cart full of real food that the average family would/could buy, and reasonably store in their pantry on any given week.
Jill, on the other hand, seemed to pick a combination of things that more people would identify with, which makes it seem like a more reasonable shopping strategy for the average person. I don't think she was trying to show just how much she could get with the money. Instead, she was more focused on making couponing not seem ridiculous to someone who doesn't want a driveway full of Jello and who wants to eat more than just processed food.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Anytiime you're asked to do something like this, yes, we all know it can go one of two ways -- not everyone -wants- to stockpile massively, and I have done enough of these pieces to -know- better than to bring home a cartload of "unhealthy" stuff -- people can't relate to that. I try to visit almost every department in the store - produce, meat, frozen, dairy, etc - and put together a fairly balanced trip to show it -can- be done.
I didn't watch...too late for me...interesting comments...and a lot of plugs for websites...

A place to debate everything and anything!
