Honey Boo Boo Mom Couponing Better than Sex, 'Couponing is even better than sex': Honey Boo Boo's mom June takes her redneck clan bargain-hunting at the supermarket Honey Boo Boo and her mother June were last seen bobbing for pigs' feet and scouring for donuts at their local auction.Now, a new episode of the reality TV show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has shown June doing what she does best - couponing.
In a teaser clip for Wednesday night's episode of the Toddlers & Tiaras spin-off series, Alana, aka Honey Boo Boo, her mother and her sister Pumpkin hit their local supermarket in McIntrye, Georgia where they redeem groceries using several wads of discount coupons.The coupon queen, as she is commonly referred to, continues: 'Couponing is a serious obsession. Anybody who uses coupons will tell you that it is an addiction.'
The family are seen filling up their shopping cart with 14 packets of chocolate milk powder and ten packages of ramen noodles in addition to a load of other groceries. The powder and noodles, however, work out to be free through the coupons.We just cleared that shelf,' Alana tells her mother as she watches the powder fall into the cart. Her mother proudly agrees.
June also spots mustard on the shelves and works out that she is able to save about 60cents per jar using the coupons.We're going to get two of them' she says.
Although she is seen struggling to calculate some of the more complicated savings, she adds that couponing is a pretty straight-forward activity.
'I taught myself so it's not that hard,' she says. 'It doesn't take a rocket scientist to coupon.'
She claims that there are some shoppers out there who are even more obsessed with the activity than she is.
'Someone went in there last week and said "I feel like I'm on crack,' she says. 'She's like at this shelf, goin' like, I'm like, what the...But couponing is not just for June.
Alana tells the camera: 'I like going couponing with my mom because I like to push the buggy around.'Her older sister Lauryn, aka 12-year-old Pumpkin, on the other hand, fails to see the joy.
'Personally, I don't like couponing because of the fact my mama takes too long in the stores,' she says.
Although the six-year-old pageant star is supposed to be the star of TLC's new show, her outrageous family are no doubt stealing the limelight.
Last week's episode followed them as they visited their local Redneck Games where Pumpkin went bobbing for pigs' feet and Alana's other sister 'Chubbs' tried out mud belly flop diving.
