too good to be true

I was doing a search to try to find local couponers and got distracted by these two articles: Alleged TLC Extreme Couponing Fraud, Extremecouponing Breaking Rules Again. Turns out that most of the shopping trips featured on the TLC extreme couponing show are not very realistic. The stores work with the couponers and allow them to bend the coupon polices in order to create the best deals imaginable. Some times the couponers even use coupons for items they are not meant for. Also you usually cant buy all the items they did in one transaction. You can still get amazing deals by couponing but what is featured on the show is exaggerated. I want to look into this a little bit more and maybe contact the show to ask about it.
