When you go grocery shopping do you use coupons? I do and I save almost a $100 when I go grocery shopping.

I do from time to time, but lately I've found that I can save more buying from Wal-Mart than using coupons. Most of the coupons that come in the Sunday papers are for things that 1. either I don't need, 2. we don't use or 3. they're getting to the point that you've got to buy 2-3 of the same thing to save $0.25. I love going to the Wal-Mart SuperCenters and just buying everything there, we use alot of store brand because it's the same, just packaged different at a fraction of the cost.

I have used coupons for grocery shopping and saved a decent amount too.. but I have not been able to do it consistently. There is a website that tells you what to buy every week based on your location and the grocery store you visit. The website tracks the sales in the grocery stores and makes recommendations on purchases such that it is optimized with the coupons from your local newspaper. If you'd like to know about this website.. please send me a message.

That is a good way of saving money. Keep it up. I always put in the saving account what I save. It really adds up.

Yes I am starting to use coupons and my saving has increased slowly. I think I saved 6.55 in mfg coupons this week and because I had a jay c card I also saved 14.90 on my purchases for a total of 21.45 savings this week. Do you get coupons on line?

If I have them I do. I don't often clip them, but when I do I use them and they do help to save. Especially since one of our stores has triple coupon days.

Triple coupon days are the best.

If you have a hard time remembering them. Then put them with your money, checkbook or credit card. Use a paperclip to what you will be paying with.

I never used to but I have recently started using them. They have saved me a lot of money, but I have started using them as a savings tool in that however much money I save from the coupons, I set that money aside into savings, because without coupons I would have spent that anyway. That is my savings to go toward a house. Hope it adds up soon!

Hi. We do use coupons and save them to use with the list we get from www.grocerygame.com. Have you checked it out? It tells you the best things to buy that day with your coupons to get the best deals. It saves us a lot. The idea is to stock pile on the cheapest things that week so that you are buying only the things you need on the weeks that they are least expensive. The list just takes the guess work out of what's going to be the cheapest at your grocery store for that week with the coupons you've clipped in the past weeks. You can try it for only a dollar to see if you like it. Then it's only $10 for 2 months of the list. Hope this saves you even more!!!

Some of our store around here will triple a coupon if it is $.55 or lower. They all double up to a $1.50.

I always cut them and try to use them. Usually end up forgetting them at home though. Bought one of those little coupon holders to keep in the car so I wouldn't forget, now I just forget to put them into the holder :)

I have a box that I keep my coupons in so that I can't forget them.
