Actually I don't use them. I find it more of a hassle to try to find the right size, style, type of product they want you to buy then just to buy the store brand or a cheaper version of the same thing. I do use them if the coupon is stuck to the package though.
My Mom used to do the whole coupon thing and she was really good at it. In Texas they used to have triple coupon day up to a dollar. She'd go in armed with a stack of coupons, finish with two carts of groceries (all name brand) and they owed her money when she was through. It wasn't unusual to see her get $200-300 in groceries and if they didn't owe her money she didn't pay anymore than $5-10. Most of the time they owed her though. It was really fun to watch the cashiers face when she realized that she had to give my Mom money LOL

I wish there was a store here that offered triple coupons. I am fortunate enough to have ONE place that offers double though. I just recently started using coupons, and have found that it is a huge saaving when they are used along with in store deals. I went to the store today and saved $30!! All things that I use everyday too!

Around here it can be a big hassel. As we don't get the deals like others do where they double coupon at the stores only one does it here & there are rules and limits wich just doesn't make it worth wild in the end most times. But every lil bit helps if you find one for something brand name you buy regularly otherwise nope I buy store band and save more that way.

Hi lynnemg, coupon is actually not a hassle totally. I will use the coupons accumulated to pay for part of the money consumed in a nearby outlet. In this way I could save quite a certain amount of cash for long term. We will get a single coupon which costs a dollar after every purchase of 30 dollars. We will get another extra 3 coupons if we pay at one shot of a hundred dollars. The extra coupon will be sent to us after a week or so. And I would always try to buy those items which are on offer only.
Sometimes I even could get stuff by just using the coupons accumulated only. Before buying any item we usually will compare the price with that which is available in other places first so that we could get commodity with lower price. It’s not worth to buy commodity with higher price even if a couple is awarded to the customer.
Happy posting
and have a nice
day.

I try to use coupons as much as possible. I keep a collection of coupons at home, and then I sort through them before going to the store, just in case there are any there that I can use on my purchases. I always feel good when I know I am getting a good deal! Even though coupons may not save huge amounts of money all at once, I feel like I really save a lot over time.

We try to use them all the time. Especially when we are buying things like diapers for the kids. Coupons and buying things on sale is usually how we shop. Sometimes the products we buy depends on what we have coupons for or which item or brand is on sale. I guess you need to look for a break anywhere you can find it.
