The director doesn't make as big a deal out of that part, though. Wonder why? Never mind, I know the answer.
If it's kosher to post URLs, here's the link to the piece I did on the show. Incidentally, I know one of the women on the show (met her at a "how to save money" conference) and the article mentions the huge donation she and a couple of friends made to survivors of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami:

That's taking hoarding to a whole new level. I think the best way is to do what you are doing. Keep stashes of things that you ACTUALLY USE! That is when it will be insurance for your finances. This couponing thing will lead to keeping items that you have no use for but you got a good deal on them. It doesn't make any sense.
