I have never seen an extreme couponer where I shop. I do know that some retailers will have a sale circular in Sunday's newspaper and will not stock their shelves nor order extra stock for the sale items. Their warehouse dates of delivery do not coincide with the circular at all. One clerk told me that the circulars are made up 6 months in advance so it is not their fault. Really? When the store shelves are empty, it is not always from an extreme couponer.

Friday I was at the Roche Bros. in West Roxbury, Ma. There was absolutely no bread because we were expecting the hurricane and everyone had already bought up the supply. I asked a clerk and they said there was no more. I asked the manager and he was unaware that the shelf was empty. He went to the back and came out with a new delivery. Sometimes, it is just a communication issue.
