Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram and stumbled upon those viral posts of women strolling out of stores with carts piled high, long receipts, and very small totals?

The couponers weren’t snagging a couple of items or saving a few dollars here and there. They were paying pennies on the dollar for items that normally cost an arm and a leg, especially from a store with such high markups for everyday items as Walgreens.
