Extreme penny-pinching. Can you take it too far?

I think that there is a lot to be said for saving money, but I think that complaining about something when there isn't really much to complain about is a little unfair because the companies just don't have the money to be able to do this all of the time if a lot of other people should decide to do this. I think that everyone can save money if they think about it, but they are able to do it honestly rather than by lying about things as this can get companies into trouble and make them worry about how they're going to pay their staff.

This certianly sounds dishonest to me. She needs to remember that what we sow so shall we reap. Maybe not this life but the next.

I saw that too! I will say that sometimes TV people focus on one particular part of a persons frugal strategies and will exaggerate some aspects because it is "entertaining" so I won't condemn her as a person BUT I do think some of her habits were a bit questionable. Where she was getting things like the Dove deodorants for 10p - okay, but these were the spray can type so a lot of wasteful packaging and unless you use that kind of thing anyway, why get one because it is cheap or free? She would also stockpile lots of junk foods and expect her family to eat them - despite the food being bad nutritionally and the family not liking them anyway. That's going over into obsessive for me and forgetting that foods should be good for you AND enjoyable. I also didn't agree with complaining about a product you bought because you didn't like it rather than there was something wrong with it. I know I don't like coconut so I just avoid it rather than complain to the manufacturers of foods with coconut it. A bit unfair if you ask me. Most coupons and vouchers I see are for things I've no interest in anyway or even with the voucher are still more expensive than generic (own brand) alternatives. It's a rare day I get a coupon that saves me money. Did you see the one trolley she had "This was £60 worth of shopping". I'd debate that. If I've got £60 to spend on shopping, the trolley is FULL because we buy lots of basic items rather than processed junk. She'd got her mortgage paid off and did some work for charities so good on her for doing that. However, I think she was still trying to live a very consumerist lifestyle based on wants rather than needs. If she cut out a lot of the junk she'd still "save" money but without working herself silly trying to get a "bargain".

That is definitely dishonest. It's one thing if the product actually did turn out to have a problem with it, but ... she already got the item free, why milk the cow even more? I'd feel a heavy weight on my conscience if I did that.
