Pretty sure extreme couponing functionally doesn’t exist anymore. Lots of coupons are only 1 valid per transaction and not applicable with other deals, etc, etc. now.

It was definitely going strong when I worked there from 2015-2017(It can be hard to get out of retail). We had to make a rule that you couldn't have a negative total because people were using coupons on items from the dollar aisle. I think one of the big ones was $1 boxes of dog food with a $5 off coupon iirc... My manager actually hid some in the back for herself because these couponers would snatch up everything on the shelf and she wanted to take advantage of the coupons too.
