Do you use coupons?

I use coupons for everything I even belong to a website called coupon mom because they list deals in every state for every type of store and offer places to print free coupons.
So my question is am I alone?
I have been to the grocery store and walked out with them owing me money.

I know, coupons are a good deal. I have seen you leave with a full bag of groceries and it practically cost me nothing.

I've never walked out with them owing me money but I save an average of $10 every time I make groceries. I also have a blog where I share my coupon findings with the world. Check it out at

Wow!! That would be nice. Walk in somewhere and leave with them owing you money, and they actually refund you just from coupons? This is interesting. We have tried saving coupons from the paper, but it feels like we never get enough types of coupons we can use. I might have to consider checking out this site you listed, and see if it would benefit me. I do not have any kids, so not sure if it will or not.

I LOVE coupon mom. And I especially love that you get a preview of what coupons are coming out in the next days paper so you know how many papers you REALLY need to buy! LOL! I wish I lived in an area where stores actually double or tripled the value of your coupon. I don't know of any stores in this area that do, but I suppose I should look around some more because a friend of mine lives down south, and really it isn't uncommon for her to go to triples day and get like 800 dollars worth of stuff and only spend about 39 out of pocket! And she gives it to family and friends and charity. It's awesome. I wish I could do that!

I use coupons where they are a great deal. Sometimes coupons are for items that are so overprices to begin with that even after the coupons they are still something I would not buy. I keep a list and try to use the coupons on things that are onsale so I can get doubel the savings. I love it when I can get things for free.

No, you're not alone. We buy the Sunday paper every week for the coupons. The money we save using the coupons more than pays for the paper. I also use some of the free print coupons.
We receive coupons from other family members (and also cut coupons for them) and we only use coupons for the items we always use, and always at the best prices possible. (we shop at multiple stores)
I've never walked out of the store with them owing me money (Awesome Job!!!) but I have walked out with a sizeable order and paid less than 1/3 for it.
