If they aren’t saving you money then it’s not worth the bother. I certainly can’t be bothered with a lot of the items the there are coupons for. If it’s not something I would normally use, then I just don’t need to buy it (unless it’s a money maker, then I can just give the product away!).

My husband won’t let me use coupons. he says the majority of them is for stuff we don’t use or for processed food. We don’t use most canned goods, packaged goods or frozen foods that are sold in grocery stores. We eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. I tried to do the coupon one time but 90% of everything I saw was for things we do not use at all. I do save money buying meat that are on sale. 90% of the time I pay less than $2.00/ lb for meat. I have a freezer and I stock up. Toiletries I just buy what works for us. My husband has sensitive skin so we stick to what works. Also I don’t like to stock up. To me it seems I am spending more money on stuff I don’t need right then. I might buy a couple more or even a few months supply if it is something we use often, otherwise just because it is on sale does not tempt me at all to purchase it. We are a growing family of 6 and I am very frugal but coupons have not convinced me. I am glad that they work for you. BTW, thanks for sharing. Tereza

You all are getting me excited about couponing (yes, I realize that is not actually a word)! Thanks! I need the motivation.

Really! She does this in her sleep! And in all her waking hours! But, she don’t spend 1/16 what I do on groceries. I tease her, but she laughs all the way to the bank!

I get a lot of rolled oats for free too with coupons, and cream of wheat, as well as free toilet paper, shampoo & conditioner, toothpaste, baby wipes, natural cleaners, spices for cooking, pain relievers, fever reducers, first aid supplies, and really…the list goes on and on. Dont just look at coupons for groceries, think the drugstores too!

Also, don’t forget staples that we all use such as pasta, eggs, milk, yogurt…etc…there are tons of those coupons around. I just got 40 lbs of barilla ww pasta for free a couple of weeks ago! And, target carries several organic items that they put coupons out for that are stackable with manafacturer coupons. http://www.organicgrocerydeals.com
