I'm starting to watch sales ads more since watching those shows and I've even gotten DH to understand that saving a couple bucks here and there is better than paying full price all the time.
The biggest sale for DH on coupons is having to buy baby formula. Right now we're buying name-brand because we can get it for the same price by using a coupon and manufacturer's check. One is a coupon, the other is a check and both can be used on one item. We can get a 1.45lb container of Similac powder formula for the same price as the Parent's Choice container of formula from Walmart.
I also take advantage of online deals when I can convince DH that it's valuable. For example, we purchased 48 2 oz nurser bottles of baby formula for $10.09. I created a real account for myself and another for DH and bought two cases for the $10 price. My mom and MIL also ordered. We didn't create fake accounts, so it didn't go against their terms.
Having a baby has certainly opened DH's eyes to saving. Now if I can convince him to get the Sunday paper for the coupon inserts..
But I can't imagine the time and effort that goes into the extreme as shown on the show.
