Are you a coupon shopper? How much do you typically save in a week?

My friend and I used to have contests to see who could save the most with coupons. She almost always won. She could walk out of a grocery store with a cart full and only end up paying out of pocket about $20.00 just by using coupons at a store that doubled them. She taught me alot!

I forgot to mention restaurant coupons until I saw your response. I was mainly talking about for the grocery store. However, I do try to purchase an Entertainment book every year that takes care of restaurants, movies, amusement and etc. Thanks for your response.

I am not a coupon shopper anymore, but when I had 3 kids living at home I was a bit of a fanatic about my coupons. It took a lot of work and several hours to shop, but I could usually get about $250.00 in groceries for $20.00 or less. My kids used to dread Sundays. That was the day the new coupons came out in the paper and I would have them clipping them out while I organized them and matched up the coupons to the stores that had the items on sale.

I don't use them. I save more using the generic/store brand of the item than if I used the coupon. But, this is the cool part, I have a strict budget for each week. Anything under that budget goes right into my savings account. So, the savings are really savings.

I am the best at cutting them out!!! But I always forget to use them or take them to the store with me!

I've clipped coupons in the past and have saved once in a while.. but I have not saved consistently.. week after week...
Do you have a system for doing this? Do share if you do:)...
