I hope it's not going to stay that way because I need to get back into couponing. Also I've noticed store sales haven't been good either.

I noticed the same thing. Most of the coupons in the paper I can not even use. There were a couple of weeks where I got some really good coupons and saved quite a bit of money but not lately.

Have you also noticed that when you do have a good coupon, the stores will put the item on sale after the coupon has expired????

I'm really hoping to rebuild my stockpile before the fall.

I have noticed this too. and the ones i can use are for 55 cents which can not be doubled. the companies are trying to save money too i guess. also noticed they put the item on sale after the coupon expires.

I just said to my husband yesterday, "What's the point of having 6 inserts if they aren't good coupons??" LOL

I thought it was just me, but I am finding that many of the coupons are NOT for food items, but other things. Does anyone agree?
