I don't think I use that many, about maybe 4 or5 each trip. There is usually no GOOD coupons for the things I buy. Lots of coupons for stuff we DON'T need. LOL

I can use 20 to 30 for each trip. I LOVE coupons but I only buy what we will use and what will be cheaper with a coupon then the generic brand.

BTW-----H&B is where I use most of my coupons.

If I have 2, that is alot. I rarely use coupons. I clip them for things I use, but they usually expire before I need them. And there are not that many coupons for things I use as I don't buy much processed/shortcut/kid foods.

Frequently none, sometimes one or two. Usually there is no coupons for the things I buy. I usually buy store brand or generic type things that are cheaper than the name brand even with a coupon. And no one doubles coupons around here.

I normally use 8-10 when I go big shopping once a month, but when I go to Safeway they will double 4 coupons and I do that each week.

20 or so per trip... I use to have a hard time finding ones that went with the items we used then I found the coupon services like coupon clippers. Now I look for what we use and watch the sales and I usually save atleast have of what I buy. .19 cents for French's mustard today using a .50 Q that publix doubled on 1.19 mustard... 6 jars of size 2 beechnut babyfood for 1.00, They were running it 3 jars for 1.00, my Q was for 1.00 off 6 jars... When I use 2 coupons on the buy one get one free stuff I really rack up. Today I had a 1.00 off A-1 sauce, I used it on a B1G1 then I had a 1.00 off Beef if you buy A-1. They had ground chuck on sale for 1.99. I got a lb of that basically free when you look at the 2 coupons together. Ebay is another place for great coupon pairing just look for the items you buy every month anyway. I don't mind paying 50 cents for 5.00 worth of coupons! It really pays off if I watch my sales and plan a little.

Mine tend to vary...the last few times I went I probably used 20-40(I didn't count but I handed her an entire baggy full)

But if I am going on a fresh fruit and veggie run...usually just a couple.

About 40-50 at the commissary. A lot of it is multiples of the same coupon. Good thing most of the cashiers are military wives and coupon users too!

When I go to Dillons I usually have about 10-20, depending on what I'm buying. I don't buy anything there unless I have a coupon for it and it's on sale.
