We use them all the time. In fact, today, I got $280 worth of groceries for $140 because of coupons and in store savings. Cha-Ching

That is some great savings. I never really save to much but I do use coupons whenever I get them to save money on the things I like or need. I don't use some so I will add them to poshpoints for others who might want them. I think with the prices now days we need to be looking for ways to save money the best we can. It seems we are going to have to be frugal alot more. I just wish I got more coupons to use that I would enjoy. I clip what I can.. here is a link that might help out. I got the link in another discussion but these sites are among several that deal with the extreme couponing that the Coupon Queen practices. http://www.wlwt.com/money/17049154/detail.html Lets go save some money!

What is she in the hospital for? If it makes you feel better, that is one of the best hospitals for kids in the entire world. My daughter has had a few surgeries there and they always treat her like royalty:)

Oh yeah! I don't buy anything unless I have a coupon for it. Its wonderful seeing you saved over 50% on your grocery bill isn't it?? My best was 326$ grocery bill on week, and I saved 265$! It was AMAZING! I felt wonderful. Most people think, its a waste of time, or its only .20c here or there, but it adds up. And double your savings by shopping at a store that will double your coupons!

You bet. It is very amazing to have saved half. You are right, it all does add up and makes a bid difference in how you budget and save then. We have even begun buying things that we use a lot of in bulk when they are on sale and we have coupons. I mean, if we are going to use it and it won't go bad, then why not?

You can look for coupons on www.craigslist.com because alot of people put them on there to sell cheaply. You can also go to www.groceryguide.com or www.couponmom.com to print coupons. Alot of grocery franchises have their own websites where coupons are available to. So for people like you, there are other option than the Sunday paper. Good luck

That is good my friend and I am glad that you use those coupons,my mom usually has a bunch of coupons and whenever we go to Wal Mart she always uses a bunch of them which helps her save some money when she does the grocery shopping since she only does the grocery shopping twice a month,since my dad gets paid every two weeks,and you can not buy groceries without having the money to pay for them.

I love my coupons lol! I don't think I've ever had that much of a savings, but in today's market, every little bit we save can help! I love it when I get coupons for cleaning products, and it doesn't cost me but just a few cents.

Not bad! I clip coupons sometimes, but then I always seem to leave them at home. I find though a lot of times the coupons that I find are for things I do not use.

That is true. We have found that our grocery store (Kroger) has coupons on line that you can pick from. That helps,too

Agreed. It is almost like a game to me now. I try to see how much I can save each week by using coupons and in-store deals, etc. A penny saved is a penny earned.
