Title: New competition show on TLC
Post by: catkins522 on November 16, 2011, 10:43:37 AM

From Cynopsis:

Couponing goes to a new level in a new competition series on TLC titled Extreme Couponing All-Stars bowing December 27 at 10p.  The seven-episode series will pit dedicated couponers in competition against each other to see which one can save the most on $500 worth of merchandise that is donated afterwards.  The half-hour series will air on Tuesdays at 10p and ends with a one-hour finale episode that will watch as three top shoppers battle it out in one store.  Sharp Entertainment produces this new series as well as Extreme Couponing which is currently airing on Wednesdays at 10p and ends its season on November 23.

It sounds more cerebral than frenetic. And when you're dealing with how to minimax your grocery cart, I don't think it will translate well as a game show.

Meh. I never liked Supermarket Sweep, so I don't think I'd enjoy this either.
