Answer: Hot Sauce

In "Extreme Couponing", featured participants collect dozens (sometimes, hundreds) of duplicate coupons and stock up on (or some might say...hoard) random items such as cereal, shampoo, couscous, peanut butter, and sports drinks.

Items that are more essential, such as bread, fresh produce and milk are seldom discounted.
