i never used coupons,i really never had the time to sit there and cut them out.i was always told i would save so much money when i went to the store but it was just very time consuming to me.until now i had my first experince with going to the food store,and i had $75 in coupons.i was so thrilled because i wasnt expecting that much in coupons,and now i can spend the 75 on things my kids need.i will definately make time for this,its worth it.what about you?

I use coupons and they do help I guess it depends on what your buying, if its not something I need than I dont use it just to save the money,sometimes its hard to find coupons for the things we use everyday but I do find a lot of coupons on the internet. I have never saves a big amount all at one time but i do know someone who has so many coupons that the store had to give them money.

It is worth it. I don't see very many coupons like I use to but one time I went to the store and got 4 bags of groceries and only paid .03 cents for them. That was when they use to have double coupon days and you could get money back on them. It's a great way to shop. A penny saved is a penny earned and they add up.

Coupons are a great way to save money. Watching sales as well as doing refunds helps also. CVS has a great money back program called extra care bucks. These bucks is money you can spend at cvs only. This week I will buy twenty dollars on coffee and I will get that twenty back. K-Mart was running a great coupon as well. You took the coupon and bought one duracell saver pack of batteries, and two other proctor and gamble products and K-Mart gave you a $10.00 gift card. When I went I bought the eight pack of duracell double A batteries, also two Gelette shave gells on sale as well. There is a $1.00 coupon on the batteries, and $1.00 each on the shave gel. That means that everything would cost $6.50 however, since you are getting a gift card you will make a profit of $3.50. Gift card can be used any time.

I use coupons all the time. I've saved so much money by using them. I watch for sales and use coupons to get an even better deal. A couple of weeks ago we went to CVS and spent less than $40 and left with over $100 worth of stuff, and a $15 coupon for the next time we shopped there. There are so many different places you can find coupons on the internet. I print out a bunch everytime I go shopping. I also get the paper and clip coupons out of the ones on Sunday. We also signed up for coupons from Pampers, Huggies, Luvs, Enfamil, Juicy Juice, and a few others online. The savings add up fast.

I don't use alot of coupons, anymore, but I used to when my kids were little. I used to clip coupons and save them like crazy. I especially liked double and triple coupon days at the store, so I would go in and spend a long time, looking, and comparing. I was able to get a hundred dollars worth of stuff for under 30.00, a couple of different times. I was so proud. My usual amount of savings was anywhere from 25.00 to 50.00, depending on how many coupons I had, and how much time I wanted to spend looking around the store.
