Just witnessed a woman at the Denver Whole Foods argue with the cashier for 10 minutes over a 50 cent coupon
She was dead serious about saving that half dollar, but meanwhile she had $200 worth of organic snacks in her cart, has anyone else seen people go completely overboard with coupons at the worst possible moment?

Nah, I gotta push back on this a little. In my experience, it's not really about the money itself. Some people genuinely get a sense of control or a small win from couponing, especially when everything else feels expensive and chaotic. That 50 cent argument might look silly from the outside, but to her, it could be a principle thing - like she's fighting against the whole system of prices going up. Also, that $200 cart might be her regular weekly shop for a family, not just random snacks. Your mileage may vary, but I've seen folks where couponing is a legit hobby or coping mechanism, not just cheapness.

Man I heard somewhere that coupon people get a weird rush from saving money even when it makes no sense...

Oh man, nothing says thrill like saving 50 cents on toothpaste you didn't need in the first place.
