Do You Use Coupons When You Shop?

Even with the coupons, the store "specials" are often the better buy. I use the store circular to see what they have on "special" this week and buy accordingly. I also use the "price per pound" to figure out what is the best buy. Smart shopping can save you a lot of money.

YES ! you have to these days. But I always used them. Love it when Super Fresh use to have triple coupon. I use all kinds of coupons not just for the grocery store.

No, it seems like a waste of time. I shop Save-A-Lot and store specials.

ABSOLUTELY! Couponing is my "hobby" In fact, I have saved $4,000+ to date just this year using coupons & shopping sales. Check out my blog for more tips/tricks!

Unless the coupons are for something I would buy anyway,I do not use them.Sometimes you end up spending more than planned when you have coupons because you are lured into buying stuff you otherwise would not.
Like George,I find that in-store specials are the way to go.I buy what is on special and little else unless its a staple like milk or eggs.Whatever the deli special is that week is what lunch sandwiches will be.Whatever meats are on sale,well,thats dinner.When canned or other non-perishable items I use are discounted,I buy as much as my budget that week will allow,and store it.I know I am going to use canned soup or tuna so why not buy alot when its dirt cheap and have it on hand instead of paying full price later when I am out of it?
