In case you haven't heard, there is a NEW coupon show coming to Cable in the Spring of 2012. I know I used to love watching Supermarket Sweep when I was younger, how about you? I can't wait to watch this new coupon show! See more details below.
The Show:
The show is based loosely around the idea of 'Supermarket Sweep'. Couponers will have a certain time limit to shop, a large clock will be featured in the store and they have to be at the register waiting before the clock gets down to zero.
A few rules of the show: Shoppers MUST have a minimum retail purchase of $500 before coupons. One item in your cart must not exceed 50% (in other words you can't buy 200 bottles of shampoo and then get 5 tubes of toothpaste and call it a night). You also must have at least 5 different items in your cart. There are a few more rules that govern the competition.
The show itself is a competition. There will be 24 different couponers selected, some will be from Extreme Couponing, and others will be new. The couponers will 'compete' against each other in the hopes of getting to the finale episode.
So what happens to all the stuff the couponers buy? Well unlike Extreme Couponing, the couponers give EVERYTHING they purchase away to different charities located in their areas. The couponers are given around $500 to appear and compete in each episode, (just like Extreme Couponing). The finale will be at filmed at an undisclosed store. ALL FINALISTS will be flown to this store, and shop against each other at the same time. No pre-ordering, whatever is on the shelf is all the couponers will have access to purchase.
**Keep in mind that details could change prior to the show airing**
