I always want to use coupons when I go to the store but I always forget them or loose them then I will look art the weekly ads in the newspaper and sometimes they have a coupon like buy one get 2 free and the last time I took that coupon to Albertsons it was for meat but one and get 2 free and when I got there they said they didn't need the coupon do oyu think that is a waste of paper? See I get all these offers for coupons saying to check the ones you want and print them I tried it at work but they wouldn't print out for some reason, and I don't have a printer at home what do you think it is? And do you really take the time to go through the ads before you leave to the grocery store? Or do you just get in the car and go not comparing prices from other stores the advertisements?

I do collect coupons here and there, look the the flyers each week and compare where is the cheapeast place to get the stuff. I think it is a good habit to do so, I do save money on grocery especially by doing that. I don't just check out all the stores to compare the price but I read the flyers each week or newspaper, or when I 'm atthe store, I try to remember how much the stuff is then I will compare when I go to the competitive stpore next time.

I used o forget when collecting coupons wasn't my habit but now I do this every weekend with the newspaper, I cut them and put them in my wallet before I shop, so I definitely remember it when I take out my wallet to pay when I see the coupons inside of my wallet, maybe you can do that as well.

i typically dont use coupons because more often than not, the store brand is cheaper than the item even with the cents off coupon. i usually go through the store flyer and make a list. i also am not loyal to one store.
