In one case, a couponer over - bought a particular brand of diapers for their baby thinking they were getting a great deal. But the baby had a bad reaction to that brand, and they were stuck with a large quantity of unusable diapers. They couldn't return them either because they had used a coupon, and it was a costly mistake.
Sure. A couponer once bought a huge amount of a perishable item like milk because of a great coupon deal. But they couldn't consume it all in time, and a lot of it went bad, which was a waste of money in the end.
One horror story could be when a person spent hours clipping and organizing coupons, but at the store, the cashier refused to accept most of them due to some small print or expired fine - print they missed. So all that effort was wasted.
Sure. There's a story of a single mom who was struggling to make ends meet. She started extreme couponing. She would get multiple copies of the Sunday newspaper for the coupon inserts. She also joined coupon trading groups online. By doing this, she was able to get high - value coupons for diapers and baby food. One time, she got a deal where she bought $150 worth of baby supplies for just $20. She was able to do this by using a combination of manufacturer coupons, store - specific coupons, and taking advantage of a 'buy one get one free' sale at the local supermarket.
One success story is a family who managed to cut their grocery bill by 80% using extreme couponing. They carefully planned their shopping trips, matched coupons with store sales, and stocked up on non - perishable items when they were at their lowest price.
One horror story could be buying a horse that was advertised as healthy but turned out to have a serious lameness issue. The seller hid it well during the viewing. When the new owner took it for a proper ride after purchase, the horse started limping badly.
One horror story is when a couple bought a house without a proper inspection. After moving in, they found out the roof was leaking badly. Every time it rained, water would seep into their bedrooms and living room, ruining their furniture. It cost them a fortune to fix the roof, which they hadn't budgeted for.
Sure. There was a case where a person hoarded cats. They had dozens of cats in a small house. The smell was unbearable, and there was cat feces everywhere. It was an extremely unhygienic situation. Another extreme story was about a hoarder of old electronics. His place was filled with broken TVs, radios, and computers. There were wires all over the place, and it was a major electrical safety risk.
One extreme yelp horror story is about a nightclub. People were charged a high cover fee but once inside, the place was overcrowded and the air - conditioning wasn't working. There were also reports of fights breaking out and the security staff was nowhere to be seen. Another is about a catering service. For a big event, they provided food that was stale and some of it was even spoiled. Many guests got sick after eating. And they didn't refund any money when the client complained on Yelp. Also, there was a story about a tattoo parlor. The artist used unsterilized needles which led to an infection for the customer later on.
A fashion photoshoot in a cemetery turned into a horror story. While the photographer was taking pictures, the model noticed a hand emerging from behind a gravestone in the photo. But when they looked there was nothing. It spooked everyone and they left without finishing the shoot.
There was a hostal where the food provided was completely inedible. It smelled bad and some guests even got sick after eating it. The kitchen was also very dirty with old food scraps everywhere. It was just a very unpleasant experience overall for the guests who had expected at least decent food during their stay.
