I LOVE TO SHOP WITH COUPONS.

I shop with coupons, could probably use them more but every little bit helps.

I love coupons! The majority I use for groceries. Most of the time if something isn't on sale or I don't have a coupon I live with out!
 Usually at the beginning of the month I can save between 20-40%
I am starting to find more  coupons for online purchases as well . Every little bit helps

I had heard of people doing that and would love to be able to. I don't seem to have the skill to do it or end up buying stuff I don't need just to "save" money.

In the past I've avoided coupons, because in my house it was a bit of a dirty word growing up. My parents are kind of hoarders and tend to buy anything and everything either because it's on sale, or because they figure they might not be in the area of this particular product for a few months.  Now that my boyfriend and I are moving into a nice apartment and trying to save money for a house, every little bit counts. Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure where to look for coupons. I'm signed up for groupon, coupons, coupons mom, retailmenot and I occasionally get a coupon in the mail, but it seems a bit overwhelming. Any tips for a new coupon clipper? Where do you get your favorite coupons?

I just started to use coupons.  I went to a coupon work shop last month.  Boy, I didn't know you could save so much with them.  I get my coupons in the Sunday Paper.  That is were most of them are.  The first Sunday of the month has the most, although every Sunday has some.  I just buy what I would use.  Wish I had started sooner.

Unfortunately, I don't really read the Sunday paper. I have so many news sites that I frequent online that there is really no need. Doesn't seem worth it to buy a paper just for the coupons! (Well and the comics!  )

[You rock!!! That's the way to go! I'm just starting to go for the coupons and even in small amounts saving is the best. It would be great if you wrote a book so other people could learn. I think that what you do is an important skill you should be proud of yourself. /quote]

I wish there was some way to get the Sunday coupon inserts without having to buy the Sunday paper. I don't get the paper either, and I miss out on a lot of good coupons that I could use.

I save a little over 40% with my use of coupons.  Unfotunately I live where they do not double coupons or give store loyalty discounts. 

[anubabs]

its too much hassle, i try to but the coupons usually expires before i remember to use them.

I have always done very well with coupons. Some times people in line behind me act like jerks about it though lol ? I even have a coupon blog called Cuppycake's Coupon Corner .

I have just started looking to using coupons to go shopping. In the past I have used a coupon here or there if it is something I was going to buy and wanted to get a few dollars off. When I watch shows like extreme couponing it got me interesting in using more coupons just because grocery shopping is one of my bigger expenses each month. But when I sat down last weekend to start looking for coupons I wasn't finding great deals. Do you have any suggestions on how you have become so successful using coupons?
