Jeff and Kelly are a couple from St. Petersburg, Florida, who are extreme couponers looking to save as much money as they can on their grocery bills. In this episode of Extreme Couponing, they show viewers how they are able to stretch their dollar and get the most savings possible by using coupons to buy anything from food to cleaning supplies.

The couple has been couponing for a few years and has created a system that works for them. Kelly is the primary couponer and usually spends 30 hours a week planning for their shopping trips. She is meticulous with her planning and uses spreadsheets to track sales and match them with coupons.

The episode follows Jeff and Kelly as they gather their coupons and prepare for the biggest shopping trip of their lives. They plan to purchase more than $2,000 worth of groceries and household items, but they expect to spend only a fraction of that amount.

The couple heads to their local Walmart, where they have arranged a special checkout lane for their shopping trip. They start filling their carts with items such as produce, meat, dairy products, and cleaning supplies, all while making sure they match their coupons with the correct items. Kelly puts her organizational skills to work and manages to keep track of everything while Jeff is responsible for managing the shopping carts.

As they approach the checkout, they have a long line of full shopping carts, and the cashier starts scanning their items one by one. Kelly hands over her coupons, and Jeff helps load the purchased products into his truck. The total amount before coupons was $2,485.14, but after applying all their coupons, the final total was only $105.18. This means they have saved an impressive 95%.

Next, the couple visits a local food bank, where they spread their wealth of groceries for those in need. They have plenty of items to donate, including canned goods, cereal, pasta, and snacks.

Throughout the episode, viewers can see the couple's dedication to saving money and getting the most out of their coupons. They have even converted their garage into a massive stockpile of items they have purchased through their couponing efforts. Some of their favorite money-saving tips include buying items when they are on sale, printing or downloading coupons from the internet, and combining manufacturer and store coupons to get the best deals.
