Does printing coupons off the internet really save you money?

I have printed coupons off the internet a few times. You can find good legit coupons on sites like coupon.com but I was wondering if you really save any money. You have to buy printer paper to print the coupon out on and it also uses ink out of your printer which ink cartridges are not cheap so by the time you have used paper and ink is that .50 coupon really saving you money? What is your opinion?

Yes, it does. I have a black and white only laser printer and it prints quite economically. At present I am still using paper from a case that I won in a contest over a decade ago and when it runs out which will be soon, I have several reams that I got free because of rebates and stuff. The Internet is the main place I get coupons because I dropped the Sunday paper since it got too expensive.

I do think it does. I buy my ink off of amazon and just ordered some. I was able to get 6 cartridges for my printer for $30. The paper is not that expensive.

yes, absolutely it does! i have saved $5.00 on a $15 bottle of anti inflamitory pills that way and have also got stuff for free that way too.
