do you clip coupons to save money?

wow, thats a lot of $ to save. I clip them, but then I usually forget about most of them.

I regularly use coupons and cut out all the coupons, as the ones I don't use go to my friends. My area has a coupon group that meets and everyone brings their extra coupons. Its a great way to get more coupons for the products you use and talk about good shopping deals.

I don't use many but I want to start, any suggestions for a begginer?

THat is a lot of money to save :) Great job. I do clip coupons when I find ones for products that I would normally use. Even then I make sure that the coupon saves me more then buying generic. I never could understand using a coupon just because you have it. It doesn't do you much good at saving money if you buy something you don't really use, now to try something new it can help yes but not something that will sit in your cupboard for months before you throw it out. I have no idea how much I've saved with coupons but I do use them when possible.
