 :wave:Yes I coupon and have done it on and off for years. If you extreme coupon though, is it really saving if in a month/2 month time frame, you won't use it. Does storage of extra make your home look like a hoarders nest? I can typically for about 2wks of groceries, save $15 to $25. But you have to read ad pages, have your coupons organized and with you and ready at check out. And you have to be willing to shop more than 1 store. If more than 1 store to visit is along your normal traffic pattern, good but if you are going out of your way - is the amount you save equal to the extra gas. Lots to consider but I have to buy groceries and I have the time, you if I save a $1 here I can spend $1 there. :peace:

I use coupons on the items that I had planned on buying.  I have never quite got into the extreme coupons.  Not exactly sure how to start, but would like to.

Yes, I use coupons and sometimes I really save a lot. However, couponing has started to loose it's charm especially since most coupons are not for just 1 item anymore you have to buy 2 or 3 of the same items and sometimes more . I think this is because of all the extreme couponers and now even some stores will limit how many you can use. It is definitely better to use the coupons for something that is on sale because then it really pays to use the coupon.

YES THEY AVTUALLUY  DO WORK AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY BUT THE BAD SIDE IS IT TAKES UP ALOT OF TIME & YOU HAVE TO BE A PATIENT PERSON

I have been an on and off couponer most of my life.  I guess I got it from my mother.  I watched the show Extreme Couponing and I love how they save so much money!  I sort of know how they do it, but I'm not sure how to make it work for a two person household.  That and I just don't have the storage space.

I don't think that I could ever be skillful enough to be an extreme couponer. I hardly ever find any coupons that will help build a stockpile. But I do think this is a great idea; and I wish I could learn to do it where it would be really beneficial.

I started couponing  over a year ago.  I have saved some on my gros. and one time I got 10 bottles of barbeque sauce free.  The store had them on sale for $1 each and I have 10 coupons for $1 off.  I hope everyone has a good week and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
