Do you collect coupons?

[femmsational]

Oh I'm so happy to see this thread on this site.

I'm a huge couponer. I used to be almost as crazy as those extreme couponers on that show but I've mellowed a bit now.

I DO have a coupon system and I buy 10 papers every Sunday. As long as the coupons in that paper will save me at least the same amount i'm paying for the papers plus $10. Cut them out and file them in their little sections of my organizer.

Every week I compare the sales ad for the closest stores to me and compare the sales with the coupons. That's how i usually shop. I stock up on things that won't expire like shampoo, toothpaste, mouthwash etc. I have enough of those things to last 2 or 3 years. Things like canned veggies, mayo, ketchup etc I'll buy as many as two people can use with-in the use by window. Depending on the product I refuse to pay more than a dollar. Most of the things especially toothpaste and hair stuff I refuse to pay anything for anymore. You can always find them free at some store with sale and coupons.

The best coupon site i have found....BY FAR....is weusecoupons.com. I hope it's ok to post that here. It breaks everything down by store and time frame. They also have a link to preview the sunday coupons before you buy so you know whats coming when and can plot out your best savings.


OK, maybe I am still a bit crazy about this. lol. But heck we save a CRAP load. Cut our grocery bills by about 75% a month. Yippeeee!!!! I just wish we had stores that would double and triple. Oh well, I can still make it work.

I've probably just shown everyone here that I'm a nut. I should stop now.

LOL


Take Care,
