One couponer on the show stated that she LOVES to look at her stocked shelves of items. She buiilt bookshelves in her bedroom to store it because it wouldn't all fit in her garage and basement.
Fortunately they have profiled one guy, Nathan Engles, who makes it a point to donate a LOT of what he gets for free. In the very first episode, he donated ~1000 boxes of cereal to a food pantry. In the most recent episode, he helped fill 1000 care packages with items valued at $20,000. Hopefully others follow his lead.
