I try to use coupons when I find good ones but I have a hard time finding them for the products I use.

I usually get the coupons but when I go to shopping I always forget to take the coupons with me :)
The only thing I do is the restaurants.com gift certificates sometimes it worth printing it :)

ABSOLUTELY!!  I cannot function without the use of coupons.  I search the internet for the products I use and find great success with that.  I then buy in bulk as to utilize the best prices from around area coupled with my coupons.  I have a savings account that has nothing but my savings from clipping and printing coupons that I started in February and I have over $600.00 in it now.  It's amazing how quickly it adds up when you take the time to save.

    8)   Try to buy the Sunday newspapers and see which ones have The Smart Source coupons inserts. You can also go to their website: www.Smart Source Coupons. com and print the ones you need. Also you can visit a specific company. For example: Tide or Oil of Olay using Google. Once you open their webpage...Look for special offers and coupons and click on those boxes. Sometimes the companies will send free samples and coupons when you provide them with your personal information. I hope this helps you save some money.

I use coupons when I can get them. I print some online, and sometimes I get them in the mail, but I don't get the Sunday paper so that's not a source for me. I'm not a professional at it; some people seem to make coupon clipping a part time job.

i use coupons when I find them for the things I use often.
my grocery store had a coupon packet mailed to me.  I got $72 worth of groceryies for $31.00 after using coupons.  I used a combination of coupons I got online, from the newspaper and from the mailing from the store.

 :cat:  I definitely use coupons!  My hubby got hooked, too.  We especially like when the store has "buy one, get one free" and then with the coupon we actually get both free!    :thumbsup:

I use coupons all the time. some weeks I don't find many on products I actually buy, but I bet I save at least $15-$20 a month on stuff I'd be getting anyway.

You can find a ton of food coupons online.  Do an online search of 'moneysavingmom' and 'thekrazycouponlady'.  This will get you started and find a lot of money saving coupons.

Yes, coupons are a great way to save money. Provided you have to take the time out to cut them out and sort them, or you could just look online for them. But I saved $100 when I bought my laptop just by printing out a coupon online.

I try to use as many coupons as possible, but it's extremely difficult finding them for products I use.  If processed foods and "junk" food is all you eat, then coupons are plentiful!! Strange predicament...I thought this country was suffering from an obesity epidemic. Could  cheaper, unhealthy foods be the reason? I think so ;)

I use coupons religiously.  I get enough of them so that I am able to get discounts on things I normally use.  I even get coupon discount for Payless Shoes sent to my e-mail on a regular basis.  Sometimes, I combine purchases with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.  It is a good way for everyone to save.  It also helps to when you have reward cards from various stores.  Also earning gift cards on places like mypoints.com is another plus! ;D

I LOVE COUPONS!!!! My husband makes fun of me because I pretty much hav a coupon for everything I buy at the store, but he's not laughing when the coupons total over 10 bucks!   had a whole bunch of toothpaste coupons for a dollar off and I found it for $1.50. That was 50 cents for toothpaste and it came with a free toothbrush!!!

I like using coupons, but often forget them when I go shopping. I find them very useful at times when I'm on a budget and can't afford certain Items. I think its great!

I used to use coupons all the time.  I was really good at it!  I started shopping at WinCo and using way less processed and prepared foods and I really don't have a need for them anymore.  I use them at restraunts when I go out with my husband though.

I use them if I can find them for the more expensive things that I like to buy.
