Re: Do you use coupons?
Yes I do, but only for items that I'm already buying. And if the store brand is still less than the name brand and I feel the quality is the same then I won't bother.
The King Kullen circular doesn't always have the coupon, I get so excited when I open the Purple Pack and it's in there!! And I love that Stop&Shop accepts it!!

Re: Do you use coupons?
Yes. We use them for grocries and restaurants. DH also gets advance emails for weekly circulars at local markets so we can anticipate sales. You can often see how much you have saved at a particular market if you look at the bottom of your receipts.

Re: Do you use coupons?
I use them a lot and definitely save $! the only times I will use a coupon for something I don't need "right now" is if the item is on sale + the coupon. like paper towels for instance. they don't go bad. so if I have a $1 off coupon and they're on sale for $10, why not buy it a few weeks in advance.

Yes! I am a big coupon clipper! Even if I send DH to the food store, I make him take coupons for the stuff that is on the list. I also try to do the shopping at King Kullen because they usually have the $5, $10 or $15 coupons in the circular that comes in the purple pack and they also double the $1 coupons.
We saved $20 on groceries this week!!!
The trick is to not clip coupons on stuff that you normally have no intention of buying because then you are really spending extra money on something that you wouldn't normally get
there are many posts on this if you do a search, but incase you didnt know, you can use those KK coupons at some Waldbaums and stop and shops as well.
to answer the original OP, i save LOTS of money with coupons.
and to those that dont think it's worth the time, it really becomes effortless when you get used to it.
I think it takes more effort to work an hour (at the very least, the amount I save, is easily a day's work, lol) more at work to make up that difference you didnt save in coupons.
(if that makes sense in any way
 )

Re: Do you use coupons?
I use coupons all the time. I definitely save a lot of $$$. I clip them from the Sunday paper and get some in the mail. I like to make my shopping list and then pull the coupons out based on my list and this way when I get to the supermarket all I have to do is hand them to the cashier. I hate struggling in the store to find the coupon.

Re: Do you use coupons?
I have just become addicted to shopping at CVS and using Extra Care Bucks. It's amazing how much you can save! DH was a skeptic but came in with me 2 weekends ago and was in awe that he left carrying 4 big shopping bags and only paid $5 out of pocket...
I second superkat's statement about afullcup.com

Re: Do you use coupons?
We just started. We used to clip them & then never used them. Now we're on top of it a bit more.
I also agree on using the KK coupons in Stop & Shop, etc.  I heard a cashier tell another woman one time while I was on line & have been hooked ever since!
BTW - thanks for the links! I keep wondering where we can get more coupons!

Re: Do you use coupons?
I honestly don't find too many coupons for products that I actually use. I do pay careful attention to the weekly circulars so I get savings that way.

Re: Do you use coupons?
I do! I shop at Shoprite and they double coupons up to .99...so yes, I think it's worth it. I get my coupons from the Sunday paper.
