I use coupons A LOT, too. I am not quite as good with them as some people, though.  I got $10 off my Wal Mart bill yesterday.  I was impressed with myself, and I think my DH was, too.  I keep mine in a divider I got from the dollar store and it just stays in my purse all the time so that I can’t forget it.

I wish that they would make some coupons last a little longer. Alot of times they expire by the time I need that product and of course when I want to buy it, the coupon has expired!!!!

Where do you get your coupons from?  The paper, online, etc?  I need to start doing that.

Way to go PrincessRose!!!!!!!  cheese  I only wish I could save money like that with my coupons!!! Maybe one day I’ll get that good! That is fantastic! I watched the Oprah show today and they had the Coupon Mom on and she’s from Atlanta. She bought like $130.00 worth of groceries and only paid like $27 for them. She even had a coupon on fresh baby carrots which I’ve never seen a coupon on any kind of fresh fruit…wonder where she gets those from? I’m constantly reading on different websites about saving money and using coupons and printing coupons offline plus cutting them out of Sunday’s papers. I keep them in an organizer in my pocketbook all the time so I’ll have them on hand just in case I may run into an unexpected sale!

I just started cutting out coupons again because DH job has no $ to pay him now & we have 3 kids!  You can find coupons on all the major food vendors websites (bettycrocker.com, kellogs.com, etc).  I also clip out the boxtops for my son’s school & they have coupons on their webpage too @ boxtops4education.com.  My co-workers give me coupons from the Sunday paper too!  By NOT using coupons is like throwing free money away!

I used to use coupons but now I tend to forget taking them to the store. I always seem to remember them once at the store. Using the weekly ads in the stores does help. I guess remembering the coupons would help too!

i am a big user of coupons as well.  i belong to several coupon boards that are tremendously helpful in finding great deals and many, many coupon sources. 
http://www.weusecoupons.com
http://www.afullcup.com

i think these sites will be a huge help not only for new coupon users but the veterans as well.
good luck, happy hunting and shopping!!
