Default News Stories about Super Shoppers

Do you ever catch the segments on the news or Youtube or AOL about these super shoppers who buy all kinds of groceries for pennies? Have you ever noticed that when they show the news corrospondent what they're buying they literally will throw the item in the shopping cart and then when they go through the check out they throw the stuff on the conveyor belt?

It drives me crazy when they do this. All I can think of is damaged packaging LOL. Maybe the producers make them do it to make it seem dramatic? Whenever I shop I always try to put things in the cart in some type order and I never throw anything in the cart because I'm afraid I'll squish my bread or dent a can or break the item going in there.

Okay these are just randoms thoughts from someone who has way too much time on their hands at work LOL.

I think they do it to add drama... if you aren't into super shopping, I imagine watching someone buy ground beef is kinda boring. lol

I saw one guy describing how to use coupons to buy things in mass on You Tube awhile back. He literally bulldozed the display case to get all of his items .
I got the message about what he was trying to teach but I also thought - " dang dude, you are giving couponers a bad rap by the mess you are leaving " It was awful .
