In my opinion, it's a show about people preparing for an apocalypse, or to look at it another way, hoarders that love FOOD! The only other possible scenario I could think of is that some of these families are extremely generous to their local communities, or they resell the stuff on Amazon or Ebay. Saay! Thats a really good idea--you could open up your very own mini-mart! (You may want to get a reseller's license, business license, and have good inventory control practices, to avoid any potential lawsuits from food poisioning!) Dang! I just took the fun out of Extreme Couponing!
I was both amazed and disgusted at the sheer resourcefulness at some people to stockpile groceries to rival that of a small grocery store!
Inventory control that would make even the most anal store manager proud and extremely large quantities of products depicted on the show were the results of the hard work and determination of some families to stockpile RIDICULOUS amounts of food capable of feeding a small village for a year!
I wondered what inspired and motivated these people to stockpile such a HUGE amount of groceries and toiletries!
Some reasons that seemed to surface more than the others was that we will soon face a drought, famine, or war, as propagated in major corporate sponsored news channels, movie industry, and cable programming that places emphasis on how screwed up our economy is, and how close to conflict we are with other countries. IN OTHER WORDS--THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!
I personally think that MODERATION is the key to a healthy, happy life! When you start buying into cable television reality shows, I believe that they create indifference, apathy, and a general lousy outlook on life with the occasional uplifting and motivational scripting thrown in. As a major corporate sponsor, you would NOT want your target audience to kill themselves TOO quickly!! You have to keep them coming back for more, and program what you want their hopes and dreams to be!
The corporate model of working hard for many years, getting small but consistent pay raises, and eventually retiring and doing the things you love when your'e older and barely able to do them because you worked yourself in to carpal tunnel syndrome, or arthritis, or any other number of debilitating diseases based on excess, well, that's just a REALLY LOUSY way of treating people (in my opinion)!
Whatever happened to doing what YOU love DESPITE what it pays, or where you have to live to do it?
Have you ever fallen in love with a certain profession as a kid only to have your hopes dashed by your parents or school counselors telling you that you won't make a good living in that profession, or, the profession is saturated, or...you get my point!!
You've probably heard that in your job a time or two! Don't bother trying for that position, the field is saturated with talent and you probably should just stick with what your'e "good" at!
It kinda leads you to the EXTREME COUPONING lifestyle, doesn't it!!
Given a choice, and if money was NOT an issue, I daresay that MOST if not ALL people wouldn't DREAM of stockpiling ridiculous amounts of food and other items!! Their mindset would be one of abundance, knowing that there IS plenty to go around, and they don't have to waste their precious time and energy SHOPPING for FOOD!!!
Well, my rant is nearly at an end, but there IS a point to all this!! You CAN have what you want in LESS time then you EVER thought possible, and I could go on naming famous people throughout history who COMPRESSED time, WENT AFTER what they really wanted with EVERYTHING in their being, and ACHIEVED success in a RIDICULOUSLY short period of time!
