At the same time TLC is expanding its “Extreme” programming, more questions are popping up regarding whether all the strategies utilized in “Extreme Couponing” are legit. Last month, it was revealed that coupons used on the show for toilet paper were fake . (Again with the toilet paper!) And now, coupon expert and watchdog Jill Cataldo , who brought the first case of “Extreme Couponing” fraud to light, has unearthed another curious case of coupon counterfeiting.

Many viewers suspected that 200 coupons used on an episode of “Extreme Couponing” for Tide laundry detergent were counterfeit, and just recently, Procter & Gamble, which makes Tide, confirmed that the coupons were bogus. TLC, meanwhile, hasn’t responded to requests for comment on any of the counterfeit coupon allegations.
Maybe there could be a new show, though: “Extreme Counterfeiting.”
