clipping coupons and saving money

i am pretty frugal but i seldom clip coupons. heres why: i often find that the store brand is much cheaper than the name brand even with a cents off coupon, so i tend to buy the store brand, unless i have a really good coupon like a dollar off or whatever.

I used to get coupons and cut them out my mom had subscrioption to a newspaper and you got Sunday coupons but not that the paper is mailed to her she no longer gets the sets of coupons I use to get the coupons from her. I liked that ones that were around $1 off don't see to many of those anymore though.

I personally don't clip coupons but My fiance's mother does, and I find that it helps save just a little bit. My fiance and I are doing our own part by trying to eat less of what we enjoy. We also need to eat healthier so I've noticed we've been eating less + eating healthier, which keeps some of the food that's in the fridge and freezers there. There are many sites that have great deals on coupons, and even frugal sites. A great member here as often referred me to stretcher.com , a dollar stretcher site. Making your own detergent helps (I've read), and making a list of things you are out of / nearly out of as well as making a list of things you need and combining them with meal ideas / coupons can help. Of course not going to the store on an empty stomach and passing by those so tempting fast food restaurants helps too. Some of these ideas I've found online, in fact most if not all of them are ideas i've found online. Subscibe to a few frugal newsletters, I have, and to date have only received one (but I subscibed the other day)... but am anticipating all the ideas I will find within.

We don't have coupon clips offered in the Philippines. Sometimes, McDonalad's would give away a bunch of coupons you can use in order to avail a special price for a combo meal - but that's about it. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I'am an avid coupon clipper and user.i also watch for sales and than use my coupons to save even more money
