Extreme Couponing South Africa

We get many people visiting our site looking for information on extreme couponing in South Africa. This of course is the result of a new popular show on DSTV called extreme couponing. At the moment coupons are still a relatively new phenomenon in South Africa with very few retailers offering them, and even those that do offer them, like Pick n Pay, not offering them very often or not offering very good ones. The one thing you would have noticed from the USA show is that many of the people combine coupons with in-store specials in order to maximise their savings. This is the other issue we have in South Africa, is that every coupon or discount we have come across always has the condition that, “this coupon/discount can not be used in conjunction with any other in-store promotion/discount/special”, which basically means that if you have a coupon for R0.50 off, you can only use it for the maximum of R0.50 off, and nothing more.
Hopefully with the popularity of the show, and the popularity of the group buying sites that have launched in 2011; couponing in  SA will be used more by retailers and we can look forward soon to our own Extreme Couponing South Africa

    I love that show and honestly believe that if supermarkets and stores in SA were to start couponing as seen in USA (extreme couponing) it can help so many families, single mothers providing for her children, homes for abandoned and abused children, elderly etc.

    In actual fact, SA NEEDS couponing as seen on Extreme Couponing…..it can solve poverty, hunger, crime even……I think our proudly South African stores such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, Game etc should all think about the amazing exposure their stores can get and how many families they will be helping if they all had to coupon like Americans do…

    I hope that some day soon we will be able to spread some couponing love…

    Many thanks,

    Tarryn Day

      Hi Tarry,

      I completely agree with you. Hopefully 2012 will be the year that the grocery shops start offering better coupons.

    It is time that our South African shops get a wake up call and see how to sell more. I really hope we get extreme coupining soon in SA

    Most of the products that are featured on Extreme Couponing are sold in SA.Why are they only offered to them and not to us in SA.
