What is your coupon status?

I still remember my dad buying the Sunday newspaper, and me taking the little booklet of coupons to cut out all the coupons of the products we would buy., Nowadays, we receive them in totally different ways. Since I order groceries online, I can click on the coupons offered via the Walmart app on products I choose to buy. At checkout, the discounts are automatically applied. It is so much easier to do that than the old way.
Do you use coupons? How do you usually apply them to your purchases? Does anyone use paper coupons anymore? Do they even offer those now?

I occassionally use coupons but I don't get very many, at least not for things I buy.

I haven't used a paper coupon in quite awhile. I remember in recent years the newspaper having Hardee's coupons and some manufacturers coupons, but I don't know if they do that anymore. I rarely buy the paper. Any coupons Zi get now are digital.

I rarely see coupons either.
Today while in the grocery store I saw a coupon on a package of muffin mix, and it was for $2 off if you bought 2 of them, so guess how many I bought?
I enjoy loading my offers from the grocery store and getting points which convert into cash back at the til.
Two weeks ago I had almost $70 and I cashed in $20, today I asked and I had $50 in value from points, so took another $20. I like having a little balance to draw on.
The first quarter is almost over and the prices at the grocery store were higher, as they always are starting the second quarter of the year.

Coupons was something that wea never on our newspaper. I remember buying fashion magazines with coupons for cosmetics only. No food coupons at all.
But now, there's coupons on almost all online shopping stores.

I used to buy the Sunday paper and clip coupons I wanted from it. Now, Pretty does coupons like you do and tells me what I'll be eating for the next two weeks.
I haven't seen paper coupons in years.

Coupons never seemed to be such a big thing here either. Now I sometimes get offers from certain stores, but not often. Sainsbury's sometimes gives a coupon for a certain discount e.g. £10 off when you spend £60; they give you those at the checkout for use next time. Lidl has offers for customers who are members of their loyalty scheme. Often a free sweet treat e.g. a doughnut, and then the offers increase as you spend more over the month.

I can't use the paper coupons because I do all my shopping online at Walmart. I have the Walmart app on my phone but I don't know about the coupons.

Oh yes, I am always looking for coupons. Now you can receive digital coupons, so I use the stores website to apply them.
We also get coupon packets in the mail which feature coupons from local businesses. I have use some of them for home repairs.
