Are coupons your best friend? I always wait for the Sunday newspaper and to get my coupons out and star clipping away. Even if i can't use the coupons i still clip them out because there is someone who can use them in the family or even a neighbor. I use coupons even when shopping for clothes. They are not just for food and essentials.

I use coupons quite a bit. Traditionally I don't clip coupons I wont use unless it's something I know a friend can use, like for diapers. We have a lsocal grochery store that does double coupons on Wed. That's when they come in the most handy. If an item is on sale and I have a coupon I'll purchase it regardless if I need at that moment. I've gotten a lot of items for $1 or less after sales and double coupons.

From time to time we have been known to use Coupons. The hardest part is finding some we can really use, and then remembering to use them before they expire but we have gotten a lot of the better ones via Online stuff as well. But you can save yourself quite a bit of $$ from using these and they definately can come in handy as well.

I found that coupons do save me a lot of money. I have tried new products because of coupons. There are many store that offer double coupons. In the last year even Kmart has gotten into the coupon game. They like to double up to $2.00 coupons and you can't believe the money that will save you.
I do not cut every coupon from the coupon pack but I do wrote the date on the front of the pack and place them in a box. This keeps them at hand and easy to find if I need a coupon I did not cut. There are times when I trade off coupons I do not use for ones that I do use.
I belong to a web site that you have to pay for but it is well worth the money. The members of the site help you find the deals that are around. They can help you with rite aid, walgreens, cvs and more. You will find out where coupons are that will help you get free items. I very seldon pay any cash out for deodorants, shampoo, conditioners, soap, and many other items. Just cutting coupons don't mean you will not miss a sale to use them. With a little extra help you can get everything you need. You can also get coupons on line as well to help you save money.
When I have a stock pile that is too large I sell off some of the extras at my yearly yard sale. It is great to make extra money on products you did not pay anything for in the first place.

I use coupons quite often. I clip them out of the Sunday paper like you do. We have an envelope on a board in our room that is all decorated and stuff and that holds all the coupons. Whenever we need to buy something, we check out our coupons and see if we have a coupon for it. If we do great! We can save some money, if we don't, well then we just kind of deal with it and go about our business and buy what we need anyway. However, we definitely prefer having coupons.

I do love my coupons! We buy 10 papers every Sunday and I cut out all the coupons. I set aside the ones that I want to use. The others, I trade with others who need them, or send them along on coupon trains. There are a couple of coupon sites that have helped me a lot, too. weusecoupons.com and afullcup.com are my best friends!!

Coupons are now available for almost everything we want to buy for our daily use. It servers to save a lot of money on shopping. On many occasions, we get tempted to buy on coupons many articles which we do not need for our immediate use.Coupons are the major sales weapon for the sellers who prompts us to consume and accumulate more and more things ,both for present and future use. Coupons should be used with much financial restraints as it helps to drain out all our money saved on emotional/impulsive and excessive buying. Thanks.

i use coupons sometimes but not all that often. i dont always buy name brand things. I often find that generics are cheaper. I just think that there are many things you can spend your money on but not all things are that great. I like to spend money freely.

Every little bit helps and I use coupons when I can. Fortunately, there are lots of coupons available from a variety of sources. Both on and offline. I will clip and save coupons that I think others will use if I have no need for them. I also notify friends and family and direct them to the proper website(s) if I find some good coupons online. I sometimes give coupons that have been sent to my inbox with unique codes to others if I can't use them. Because I am willing to do this for others, they are also willing to return the favor.
You are correct that coupons aren't just for food. Coupons don't even have to be product specific. There are many coupons that state you receive x amount off when you spend y amount.
