Who Shops With Coupons?

[teen73]

I use to shop with coupons all the time, but since I moved and cancelled the newspaper I have not been doing so much of that lately I need to get back to using coupons.  I need to only get coupons on the stuff I actually by rather than buying an item just because I have a coupon unless I get it for almost nothing or free which I have done before.

Gosh, I use coupons every opportunity I get. I am sure everyone has noticed the HUGE increase in prices for everything! Coupons and the bottle refunds SAVE my grocery bill!

I can shop real smart with coupons, but I lack the time to do it.

not any more

I know several people who save money by using coupons.  I will use only the store coupons when I have their flyer.  I know I need to do more to save on my food bill.

WEll, I am always cutting clippings out of paper. But walmart and smiths seem to already have the discounts shown when you walk into the stores,
I think that's nice. yet, there is some thing with online coupons I like. I print which doesn't need much cutting out

I took Cascade and Tide coupons to Walmart. The coupons did not specify a size of the item I could buy so I picked up the trial size of these 2 items & after the coupon basically made the item free. I bring them to the register and the coupon wouldn't scan. The lady tells me that it has to be the one on the picture  I'm like what? If you read the coupon you can see it doesn't specify a size you need to buy. She said no, Walmart won't honor it if it makes it free for you

Yes, it would be stupid not to. Coupons save a tremendous amount of money in the long run. Just imagine how many things you buy in a year from groceries and other places then deduct maybe a dollar or more each time. It will save you thousands.

For those of you who go to Safeway and have a Safeway card, you can actually go online to their website and preload the card with savings instead of carrying paper coupons. And as far as coupons online and stuff, are there any really good ones that don't require you to do extra stuff? I like coupons

I love to shop with coupons but never have the time to go through them and let alone buying things I dont need so I am wondering if I am really saving!

[cbrownell1]

Yes, I love to shop with coupons, many times I have gotten things for free and paid little or nothing for my whole shopping bill. It dos take a lot of time and effort but in the end its worth it.

I've never shopped with coupons that I've cut or printed out.  But I've used the ones that are actually on the product them self.  I probably should start though since I'm not working right now.

You've all inspired me.  I think I'll buy the Sunday paper this weekend and give it a shot!

I use coupons and with the store discounts I generally save more than I spend, and they have to override the cash register.

I used to use coupons more. I don't get the paper any more, so I have less access to coupons. I don't buy processed food for my family, so I only used coupons for toiletries, medicines, and freezer items. I try to buy fruits and vegetables fresh. If I can't afford to buy fresh or the prices are too crazy, then I buy frozen. Last resort is canned. Same thing with meat. Some years, I was lucky enough to have enough money in cash to buy a side of beef or half a hog from someone I knew. Their meat wasn't organic, but it wasn't grown in the tight living quarters I've seen some cows living in.
