Coupon Clipping

Coupon Use, On The Decline Since 1992 Appears To Be On The Way Up Again As Shopper's Look For Ways To Combat Rising Prices. Forget The Image Of A Befuddled Shopper Fumbling With A Jumble Of Paper Scraps To Save A Few Cents On Cat Chow. These Days, Coupons And Promotions Often Are Worth More, Targeted To Specific Shoppers And Perhaps The Coolest Of All, Tech Freindly And Even Convienent. Some Can Be Loaded Onto Grocery Cards And Club Cards. But Actually, How Convienent Is It When You Have To Sign Up For All Those Diffrent Cards That You Keep Losing And Running From One Grocery Store Or Shopper's Club? I Still Shop At Walmart But I Use Coupons For Almost Everything I Purchase And Still Come Out Cheaper Than I Would Have Going The Other Route. Now Days You Can Find The Coupons You Need Either From A Newspaper Or Even Online To Print Out.

I never quit! I am a couponaholic :) I wish we had a store here that still doubled coupons. Those were the days!

I use a lot of coupons. Its a good way to save money on products that you are already planning to buy. I combine a sale and coupon to have a great savings and I'm lucky as stores double to $1.00 here.

I clip coupons, stick them in my purse, and usually forget to use them, lol. I really need to get with it and start using them more. Thanks for the reminder. I hate when I carry them around and finally go to use them and find out that they have expired. Sheesh! I know there are some really good ones that can save you quite a bit of money if you use them dilligently. Love the idea of the 'Tech friendly' ones. Thanks for the 411!

My aunt gets a paper that has coupons in it every Sunday she dosen't use the coupons so she gives them to me. With the price of food on the rise coupons can sure come in handy I had a coupon for a dollar off my cats food this morning at the dollar store!

I use some coupons sometimes things r even better without one. I go online be4 we shop to see where the sales r for what we need and that's where we go. It's walmart for toilitries and other places for actual groceries.
