I very seldom use coupons only because I seldom receive any and I don't download any. A lot of the coupons are not for items I buy and will never use. Once in a while I will see some coupons in a magazine, newspaper, online or directly from the retailer. Where do you get your coupons. I find just seeing the weekly deals is enough for me and then I also get the cents off on gasoline if I buy it at certain gasoline stations.

I use coupons when I get them but I am like you that is very rarely. Though lately every time I go to the grocery store I get a coupon off my next purchase and the past 3 weeks it keeps going up. I used one today for $2.00 of my next purchase and then got a new one for $2.50 off my next purchase

Yes once in a while you run into great deals. But I have seen where people get thousands of dollars worth of groceries and not owe anything at the end. I have no clue how they do it. I've tried to get coupons on line and you end up getting to all these websites with all these weird offers that I am not interested in in the least very frustrating so I stay away from it unless it's right under my nose

@Butchcass4 Oh you mean all that extreme couponing? I wish I could figure that out sometimes it would be nice though I woudnt go as far as them but some of that would help. I mean I can go to the store buy $2.60 worth of something and only pay $0.10 due to that coupon but i couldnt figure up much more than that. They are always stocked up with everything and never really pay much...its a lot of work but im sure it is nice for them.

Oh yes and that is good, I also like the ones that say buy three and get $1 off and the coupon is right on the package all you do is peel it off.

Coupons, or vouchers, usually come with strings attached. They are not pure,'freebies', as one might expect them to be. There is also a limited period, in which you can use them.

Very true and sometimes by the time you go to the store that coupon is expired.

@Marcyaz Some companies let you use their coupons on for a limited type of products, not what you want, that makes them useless.

I get coupons in the weekly paper. Plus, in magazines that come to my home.

@Marcyaz I go to the market on sundays to get one paper. On Wednesdays to get an out of town paper to get coupons. Otherwise I do not get newspaper.

@rusty2rusty I just realized the one time I bought a newspaper here they had no coupons. The paper here is just one day a week paper as the town doesn't really have a lot of news and it is a local paper. It is okay with me as I very seldom use any coupon.

I used to do some couponing when my kids were young but like you, most of the coupons are for things I don't even use. I wish I could do couponing like the show on TV but I just don't have the patience.

Yeah why buy things with coupons if you are never going to use that product and sometimes they are higher than the normal price of something that is the same product.

@Marcyaz We get TONS of coupons every week in the mail for some reason. Most of them get thrown away. But since we eat a lot of junk around here we save the ones for the fast food places. However, I'm a really good cook. I'm just a really good lazy person also lol

A certain store here gives out vouchers and I use them now and again, only for certain products though. Great that you can spend a little less on gasoline.

here at this store when you buy so much in groceries they give you so much off when you buy gasoline. I think right now I have something like 29 cents off a tank of gas off course there is a catch it is only good for 20 gallons.

These days I mostly use the online coupon codes. And thaat way I don't have to maintain the paper based coupons. Though most of the paper based coupons are not my priority either. But they are good as long as we can use them. Most of the time such coupons also save during the end of the month. I have few such grocery coupons saved up.

K passes up a lot of coupons because they are not the right brand or are for things we don't use.

Yeah it does take time cutting out the coupons and putting them in order and some stores when in line people get made having to wait on those with bunches of coupons.

I don't use coupons either. We don't get the paper so can't get coupons out of there and i just don't care to download stuff to get coupons on my computer. I just go to the store when I know things our on sale and get it then

I look for some coupons also. And I agree, even the ones in the Sunday paper are not always usable. Like you said, they put coupons there that most people don't use. So why bother. But I save the ones that I can.

Well I get the Safeway coupons on the Just4U site that is for Safeway itself as I can just load them on to my loyalty card. However, as I cant print anything from this laptop, I lose out on the Walmart coupons I could use.

At least you can get the safeway coupons but too bad you can't print from your laptop and lose out on Walmart.

I very seldom use coupons as the store brand is usually cheaper even with the coupon. Some people make out real well using them, but that's not true for me. I am not a couponer!

I get them in the newspaper, and belong on coupon sites, were we trade for what we need. I use them, and save money on things I buy. If i can find an item on clearance and have a coupon and save on it, then I going to use it. When I shop at Target, I save between $15 -$20 because of coupons.
