do you use coupons on grocery shopping?
-
... I think this should be in "Off-Topic", unless you're referring maybe to the fusioncash offer "ClipnGo" or something. ?
Also, a little, but it's hard to find them (newspapers round here don't have them, so it's either troll around online or occasionally there'll be a coupon on/in a product).

Why even bother with the making of paper coupons most floks print them now off the net
-
I wouldn't shop with out them. I save on averag 66% on each trip. When we went last week, I saved 77% at krogers. The cart was overflowing for little over $40. Most of the ones that I use I print off of two differant sites on the internet and I get them out of some magazines that I get. They really are worth it, if you do it right it should only take maybe 20 min a week to collect all the coupons you need

this is the "off topic" forum so not sure where you thought you were :)
I do use coupons --get them in the weekly ads from the paper, the grocery store weekly circulars and internet sites.

Yes, I use coupons. My son tells me I am addicted.
When I walk the dogs I always watch the ground for those empty Coke bottles with lids. On the well traveled street on the way to the little league field it is usually covering up the ditches on side of road. I take them for the codes. Which I then turn into coupons for free bottles of soda.
I get 2 Sunday papers for the coupons, use online, 2 of my grocery stores I use a lot have "online" coupons loaded to my shoppers discount card when register online at their site and pick which coupons I want.
I try to get a store coupon to match with my mfg coupons because a lot of stores let you double up on one product.
I use my Mypoints rewards to get gift cards to drug stores which I then use to do some of my grocery shopping. This helps me get free bread, milk, soup, school snacks, etc. All for free with card and coupons together.
I try save at least 80-90% each time I grocery shop. Always hit the produce discount shelf. Apples that are not pretty turn into good applesauce, bananas - make great banana bread, etc. Last week I got 20lbs of bananas for $0.79, 10lbs of apples for $1.25, 24 cucumbers for $1.17.

WOW, that is really impressive. I am content with what I save, But would love to achieve what you do. Maybe someday :thumbsup:

Sometimes but not a lot because they don't have coupons for the stuff I usually buy.
-
Yes, I use coupons everytime I go grocery shopping. I go grocery shopping once a month and I clip coupons once a week, usually from the newspaper.

Lately, we definitely have been. My family has become so frugal lately, its scary.
