I would say about 10 or more. It matters if I looked inthe paper to see if I had coupons before I shop.

I very rarely use coupons. We don't get the Sunday paper, so unless I want to spend an extra $1.50 just to find out nothing we use is in the coupon section, there you go.

I have to save at Least $2.50 to make it worth my while, $1.50 for the paper and an extra dollar to make driving to the name brand stores worth it for me. We use a lot of Aldi products and it would never be worth it for me to go to the regular grocery store around here.

Even when I want name brand I go to an deep discount place and then of course if I have a coupon I'll use it.

There are typically maybe three things that I have to pay full price on because their is never a coupon for it, and I can only find it at a high-end grocery store.

I probably use a minimum of 10 per trip, but between 10-20 on average. My bills seem to be saving an average of $25.00 a trip just on the clipped coupons, which my store doubles up to .99cents. I have saved up to $60.00 on one shopping trip with coupons. I didn't use to use them, actually just since January...and after joining this site and learning all the tricks to saving money. I can't control the cable bill or car payments, but groceries is the one place I feel I can do my part to save my family money.

Usually none. I'm really bad about doing that.

I use about 4-5 on average, because in most cases its still cheaper to buy the store brand products, OR what I do have to buy there aren't coupons for But I try to use at least 4-5 per trip, yesterday I used about 10 I had 5 free itm products (totalling over $15) and a few others...

I agree about Dillons, they are always so much more expensive...it sucks cuz they are the only store that doubles, so you can save, but not really cuz their prices are so much more I usually only go there if I'm short on something for dinner or know its on sale

Thats AWESOME you guys find so many coupons to use! I never seem to be that lucky to find the coupons I need for the stuff I buy. Last week I was cheering when I used 8 coupons because thats alot for me. And the store doubled, so that was gravy!

I generally use about 10 each time I go grocery shopping. Except for things like milk and meat, I don't buy it unless it's on sale and I have a coupon -- unless it's an emergency.
At CVS I don't buy it unless there's a coupon involved.
