Do you buy something just because you have a coupon?

I get coupons all the time but won't use it unless I really use the product or want to try something new.
My mother on the other hand will buy just about anything if she has a coupon or it.
If you really look you can get the store brand for less even if you used the coupon on the name brand item.
So, do you buy something just because you have a coupon?

I won't buy something just because I have a coupon; however, if I can get the item free with a coupon will purchase it. If its something my family won't eat, then its donated to Food Share, as they are always in need of boxed or canned food.

I do tend to buy new things if I have a coupon that makes it cost almost nothing. We have found a few new things that my family likes that way. My son really loves it when I buy new things and is always ready to try them.

No, I only buy things using coupons if they are things that I would buy anyways. Unless it is a product that looks like something I would want to try. Your mother sounds like my mother. She will even switch laundry detergents or fabric softeners just because she has a coupon for a different one. Lol it's really funny. You never know what detergent will be in our house!

I can count on one hand the number of times I have used a coupon in my life. And as you said in your post you can usually get the store brand cheaper anyway so why bother. I get a lot of no name brands when I am shopping , they are just as good for the most part.
