Extreme couponing 💰☠

Elle • I threw my pie for you
I'm from the uk and am watching 'extreme couponing', do people really do this or is it just exaggerated for tv? 
Don't get me wrong, I think it is so clever to be able to do that however when it shows people who have a huge garage full of food and it looks more like a shop than their home I can't help but think why don't people do this and help the homeless? It just seems wasteful when people have 200 boxes of croutons then freak out when one box has been used up? 
It's up to them what they do but maybe they could do something good for others with couponing as well? Thoughts?Â
