do you clip coupons on a fairly regular basis? do you think they save you that much money? where do you get your coupons (are there any places online to print some or request them?), any helpful hints on coupon clipping?

Yes, I clip coupons. I think that it does save you money, especially when the stores offer double or triple coupons. I usually clip mine from the Sunday papers. If I buy 2 different papers, EX: The Star, my local paper and the Dispatch, my state paper, they have different coupons. So I've invested about $3.00 between both papers and I have $20.00 in coupons that I use...double days $40.00 in coupons and $60.00 for triple. You can also get coupons online by searching for "Grocery Coupons" it brings up tons of FREE coupons that you can use in the stores. Last week when I went to the store (keep in mind I only go grocery shopping every other week) I saved $92.60 with my coupons, my groceries only cost me $86.39. What I save with my coupons goes into my vacation account at my local bank.

Hi Barlow662, Yes, you have a great idea and thanks for your advice on coupons. That is certainly a great way to save. My you are so lucky to be living in America, with lots of ways to save. There is another new site to save with coupons to download (free for members) no need to buy papers, plus get discounts at hundreds of other retailers giving you discounts on most of your shopping. Here is the link: www.tinyurl.com/3cm3mq Enjoy your shopping

yes, I clip coupons every week. I use to do it, but got away from it for awhile. My Dad once told me, I thought your Mom could pinch a penny, but I think you can pinch a penny more than she can. Along with clipping coupons, I also do Rite Aid Rebates. I then match up the coupons with the rebates that are available for that week. I usually get the product for free or make money on it if I use a coupon for that item. And it is usually on items that I would need to buy anyway. Or I get an item that I usually wouldn't have been able to afford, for free. Rite Aid Rebates are easy to do. You just submit the cash register receipt on-line. No mailing in of receipts. And submit your request for your rebate check when you are through with the month and it only takes 2-3 weeks to get the check. Walgreens also has the same type program, but currently you have to send your receipt. But I do believe they are working on getting it set up to submit your receipts on line as well. And when they do, I will also hope on board with this one. With the price of things the way they are, who can afford not to use coupons or do rebates?

Coupons? You are in the right place (America) Right time ( copmany started about 5 weeks ago but launched on 15th March. www.tinyurl.com/3cm3mq You just put in your details, then look in "Products" then follow down and put in your zip code. You will see what discounts are available right now in your locality. At the moment there are 85 coupons available for members to download, and they change all the time. It's the best value site I have ever come across. Good luck.
