I try to use coupons all the time- I've been slipping but so has my bank balance : (
So tonight I'm sitting back down- sorting coupons (my daughter helps - she is 10)... organizing and getting back on the ball..
I used to save over half of my grocery bill... Each week! I used to shop 1 time a week- Now I find myself running to the store every couple-- So I am sitting down on saturday planning meals for next week.. Taking an inventory of what's in the house and checking coupons on Sunday--
Shopping with coupons takes a bit longer (you have to check to see if it really is a deal).. but saves cold hard cash in the end!
I'm all about saving!

Yes I do. I often don't have time to cut them out anymore, but when I get a newspaper I always go through the coupons and get what I need out and save them for when I go shopping. I think it is an excellent way to save money and get more for your buck.

Yeah this is the same thing which I do. As soon as I get the newspaper I take a look into the coupons and keep the one which I require. Otherwise afterwards we forget about it.

We use coupons when the product cannot be purchased for less as a store brand. On doubling days we take advantage of the savings. We also shop at WalMart and now Giant Eagle. Walmart will price match and so that adds to the savings. It varies so much that we cannot give a savings that have as a rule. Just as long as we are within our budget with using the coupons that we can do we call victory.

I used to use them all the time- but lately the coupons I get with my sunday paper are terrible- very little for food a lot of them are for cleaning products for which I go to the dollar store, I refuse to pay 4-5 dollars for cleaning products.
I have also found that a lot of stores are not accepting coupons you print from the computer. Basically nowadays I am just buying whats on sale with few to no coupons and with the prices going up all the time not sure how much longer I can afford to eat... LOL

Oh is it that these coupons are not accepted at some of the stores. I didnt know that but when the copuons is from the specific store then they should accept that.
Anyways Thanks for the response
