Yes, we are really good about using coupons! I use them whenever I possibly can. They always look like small savings, but when you use lots of them, it really adds up! It always surprises me to see how much we've actually saved after adding up all the coupons at the end of a shopping trip!

Exactly! A dollar saved every week is $52 saved a year. A lonely dollar seems so small but when they start adding up...thats exciting!
My best shopping trip of all time just happened this past Monday! I shopped at Walgreens...Before coupons, the total was 189.49. After coupons was 24.85! And i got a LOT of stuff too.

I used to use coupons all the time when I was in the States. I don't think they do them here in the UK. At least I have never seen any. They sure came in handy!

I will if it's on something I'd buy anyways or something I want to try. Also it has to save me money, since I buy a lot of generics the coupons off the name brand might not save me any money. I'd much rather have the money in my pocket then the stores after all. So yes I will use them, every little bit helps.

Ha, I thought that I was the only coupon nerd in the word! I love saving money, clearance sale, garage sales, coupons, all are good for me!! I love getting the new coupon flyer that comes to us every month to see what I can save on and then I wait until that item is on sale in store and save big!! I love sticking it to the man. And I find myself sharing my savings stories with my boyfriend, my mom, grandmother. I know they don't appreciate it like I do, but I need to share - it's part of the high!!

I love coupons, but I only use them if they are actualy saving me money. I usualy go for store brand or generic items unless they are something I have been disapointed by. I count up every penny and eventualy we will get our just rewards. For now I am happy to be struggeling along one penny at a time.
