I never heard of coupon clippers, do they send you coupons or do you print them out?? I think my grocery store limits internet coupons

They send you out actual coupons for a small fee. I buy a big batch about once a month. I usually stock up on coupons for products I alwyas use- but also buy ones that are good deals and don't expire right away- then wait for a good sale to use them.

I'd love them more if my area got decent coupon sections in the paper like I was used to seeing growing up in Orlando, and if we had a store that did double coupons. Since the coupon section here isn't even worth the cost of a sunday paper (mostly 'buy this collectible junk ads') I'll just use internet based ones for products we use normally.,

I like them when the product is also on sale. Otherwise I use generics for most things.

I agree with momof2boys, I kind of consider coupon cutting part of my "job". I still save $$ but I haven't saved lots of $$ like when my grocery store used to double up to $1.

I love them!! We use a lot of name brand products, so they really help! Last time I shopped I saved $11! Worth a few minutes of my time I think! I also collect them for my mom and she saved $12 the last time she went shopping...

i can understand what others are saying and yes, i do agree that with some time spent, you can save money and i dont doubt that at all.


however, in my case, i only "perimeter" shop the grocery store. I only shop in the produce, meat, dairy sections. most of the coupons in the sunday paper are for snacky stuff, new cleaning gizmos, expensive cereal, frozen dinners and such. so i feel i save money buy not buying the thing in the first place.

in my frugalness, ihave really begun to ask myself "do i really need this?" just because i have the coupons that match up with the sale circular doesnt mean i need it. to me, its wasteful to spend money on products that i really dont need. i fall into this trap every time its "triple coupon" time at one of the stores near me. i rush to the store with my pillsbury coupons that triple and get the item for VERY cheap....but then i look in my cart and think "do i really need this in the first place? im trying to loose weight and im buying frozen dinner rolls and cookie mix just for the sake of the cheap price?"


i did this also at cvs this week. yes i have coupons for exederine products. but why spend 16 bucks to get 20 back? yes its a free 4 bucks, but i dont even use exederine and so therefore its a waste for me.

this way of looking at my shopping has helped me trim down my grocery bill to 200 bucks a month. i think thats pretty good.

i only use them if they are for something i normally buy otherwise i find them not worth my time..

Love them! I don't see how it isn't worth the time either when you get stuff for free or you are getting paid to buy the product like in Walgreen's rebate program. My best amount I saved on groceries with coupons and the store card was $34.67. I had over $10 worth of coupons. That's a lot of money I can use for something else. I too buy generic items most of the time but if you match up sale items with the coupons it is totally worth the time in my opinion!

By using coupons you save money, even if its 25 cents, it all adds up. Plus who doesnt like to get free things (buy 1 get 1 free)?? or some times the item is just free!

I love coupons sometimes I drive my dh batty cause I would say "Oh I dont have a coupon for that" if we were going to to dinner or something. ha ha. Then he would say "You dont need a stinkin coupon, forget about the coupon"

I just love em!
