I use coupons when I shop and I have cut my bill down!! I can shop for 6 for $20 a week!!! I use coupons for everything! I look for bargains and ask about discounts at every store! What do you do?

Instead of depening on free coupons, first i will try to do necessary shopping and my wastage is less than 1%.I will cut all vegetables in to small pices and store them in freeer. ex: i will remove the edges of green chilli then the life time will increase. first i will try to save the purchased items then try for coupouns. i will spend half day in a month to estimate my required quantity of items.it will save 15% of cost which is more than coupons money and i will get a lot of satisfaction
