I knwo I save quite a bit using coupons. Especially using Nature made and Nature's bounty...on the bottles you can enter the codes and wrack up points for some big coupons from their company and I use them with the buy one get one free from the stores....usually I spend about 2-3 per bottle which normally would cost around 6-10 per bottle. So how about you guys?

Well I usually shop at meijer because I constantly get coupons for 2 dollars off a purchase of 20 dollars in groceries. Im not sure how much I save each month or even each week. However last christmas I bought almost all my christmas presents with a retail coupon. There are plenty of sites on the internet that are great at giving you these. I have even gotten free food products by using coupons, and cents off my bill since the product the coupon was for was less then how much the coupon took off!

I have saved about $5k so far this year using coupons. I love couponing! I save 80% on average when I'm at the store. I buy 10 papers each Sunday and match the coupons with the sales. I only buy things that are on sale AND that I have a coupon for, making the items free or nearly free. I can't get everything I need for a meal in one week, though. I started by stockpiling whatever was on sale. Within a few weeks, there's enough to feed an army and lots of possible meal combos. Love it!

I collect and organize my coupons in a binder and carry them to the store. Often I can find an item on clearance that I didnt know was on sale and get it for free. I have cut our food budget in the past and reciently I was able to maintain it at our low budget as the price of everything skyrocketed. I feel like it is my way to contribute to the family finances.

I save at least $10 a month using coupons.I also know where every store in my neighborhood keeps their clearance items.Sometimes I can get really good deals like that.

I don't use coupons, I guess I should but a lot of time I buy stuff that doesn't have one. I'm glad you are saving though.

I rarely used coupon for grocery shopping. My mom does. I only used available coupons for electronic shopping or online shopping. That is my hobby.
