subject: Serious Couponing - Reach Know The Concept [print this page] Extreme couponer denotes the usage of discount vouchers in extreme ways i.e when a person uses coupons for most of his purchases and saves a huge sum of money he is called as an extreme couponer. So, people who are making use of coupons on semi-regular or rare basis do not come under this category. When a person, begins to enjoy the benefits offered by discount vouchers, it might turn out to be an obsessive behaviour as well.
While couponing involves systematic use of discount vouchers, extreme coupon goes far beyond this usage resulting in great savings. What are coupons? They are typically small pieces of papers that offer discount on specific product or service.
Some manufactures offer discount vouchers for enabling the purchasers to save on their purchases and the retailer through whom the discount was enjoyed by the consumer will be paid back by the manufacturer. Even some popular stores offer them for enabling their consumers to enjoy their shopping without the worry of cost and an extreme coupon finds discount vouchers from all these sources for saving a lot of money on his purchases.
Even though some of people just search from website of manufacturer and dealers, newspapers and magazines, there are also some people, who search through different other sources like Sunday newspapers, websites specially meant for offering discount vouchers in printable formats, etc... Some people even try to use two or more discount vouchers for the same product to reduce its cost as much as possible. However, this might not work out for some products since only a single slip will be accepted by the retailers sometimes.
Some people are too much moved by this concept and as a result of this they begin to purchase unnecessary products for their homes just because they have got the ticket for that product. But, this sort of behaviour should be avoided and these people can just handover the discount voucher to some of his friends or relatives to whom the product will be useful to purchase.
Even though, saving is highly essential in the current economic climate prevailing in different countries, it should never lead to unnecessary purchases. When a person purchases something that will not be useful for him, the other people, who are actually in need of that product will have to pay more just because of the increasing demand due to unavailability of the product to the right people to whom it will be useful.
