OH YES  If I didn't use coupons I probably would not be able to afford groceries.

We use some, we should probably use a few more. We get some really good savings with the ones
we use!

Rarely.  I did use one last week because it was for something I liked.  They rarely have coupons for the things I want to buy and I hate when you have to buy two or more of something just to get a few cents off so no I don't use coupons much.

I've just started using coupons and plan to increase my learning curve and save lots of money with them.  I try to combine them with local sales.  I recently bought 8 tubes of Crest toothpaste with a local sale and coupons.  My final cost was 25cents per tube. 

I'd love to hear how others use coupons and where they've learned their skill.

Oh yes i do use coupons all the time i don't know if any one knew this but i  have learned that you can use more then one coupon on the same product just not the same coupon like if you have one coupon that says save .50 on any don dish soap and have one that says you can save .75 on any oxiy don dish soap if you get the oxiy don you can use both coupon on that one bottle.

I use coupons all the time and save a lot of money on groceries.

The stores I go to would not let me use two coupons for one product.  I do find that I can use two coupons on a buy one get one free deal. 

There are a lot of places online where you can get coupons.  You can do a search on a particular grocery item and may be able to come up with a coupon. 

I would suggest taking or getting a Sunday newspaper.  They generally have a lot of coupons (except holiday weekends).

I also wait for sales and combine my coupons with sales.

Yes coupons great. They do save you money. I love the coupons that say like 5 dollars off your purchase of 30 dollars or more. Those are nice to use!

I try and use coupons whenever I can, but I do not buy things that I don't use-I love it when markets double and sometimes triple the amount, it's like getting free things!

I use coupons most of the time, I do not use the ones you have to buy to of to use.  I save between $35 and $50 every couple of weeks with them.

Yes.....  I love using coupons.  I wish our area would do the double couponing.  They stopped it along time ago.    :'(

if you use two alike but not the same coupons you can save a litter more if you have one cersont coupon that says save 1.00 when you buy two cersont  and then have another coupon that says save 1.00 on three of the same thing you can use them both get when you get the three i have done it with some of my coupons. i hope 5that was help ful

I do use coupons.  I try to use as many as I can when I go grocery shopping.   The savings can really ad up!

I don't think our stores will allow us to use two coupons on the same item.  They are very particular here.  They don't double coupons here either.  I'll never probably do as well as the extreme coupon show, but I know I can do better than I am.  Thanks for the tips.

Oh yes, I use the coupons for the stuff I buy. Sometimes, though, I notice on the coupon, only after I have printed them out, that they are only useful at certain stores. Definitely worth using as all the money I save can make me buy something extra as a treat.

I don't use them as often as I probably should considering the fact that I scratch and claw for each penny on Fusion Cash but pass up the opportunity to save say $0.25 at the grocery store.  Not that bright on my part.  A penny saved is a penny earned.

The things I've used the most coupons on have been baby food/formula and diapers. I can never find good coupons on food.

Everybody talks about using coupons and I have even seen specials on t.v. about people that stock pile there basements, but do they realize how bad canned, proccessed boxed, only food you can find with coupons is bad for you.
I think they don,t know or care.

yes i love to use coupons. saving money on the things i need give me a good feeling especially if the coupons i use make items free or really cheap. i have a mini stockpile already and looking back i'm just so upset that i didn't start couponing a long time ago.

I will use them if they have coupons of the type of groceries I buy and consume. Most often not.

I use coupons everytime I shop.  I search the web on my lunch break to see if I can find deals at other retail stores as well, not just to grocery shop.  If I can save a few dollars on my trip out, its all worth it.

I use coupons constantly. I pairthem with sale ads. My greatest savings are when an itemis BOGO free and then I have  2 coupons for the item.  SWEET !!!!
