This is a great film about the invisible Americans who comprise the bulk of this nation. This movie is like watching an extended conversation with all of those people in your life who the media ignores... for example, you, your friends,family and neighbors. The picture that emerges is one of decent and earnest individuals who actually think for themselves and care about helping others. An alogether interesting and enjoyable documentary film about the real character of the American people.

I was a bit sceptical as to how this movie would be (Come on, a movie about coupons?), but I was very impressed. It covers everything from "Dumpster Diving" to where to find coupons and you feel like you know the characters at the end of the movie. They are definitely Real People with funny stories and great ideas on how to save on your grocery bill! Kraft Mac & Cheese anyone?

Having been a serious coupon user for several months I thought I wouldn't learn anything from this movie but would be entertained. I ended up having several "A-ha" moments and was very glad to see in person and in action several seasoned shoppers. There are many good money saving tips that many people have no clue about. I also loved the fact that men were portrayed as smart consumers as well as women. This is a smart, funny, and enlightening film.
