Do you collect coupons?
 

are you a clipper or online seeking coupon deals? if so, what are your favorite links?

You bet, I do!! I don't buy something via coupon that I wouldn't usually, but sure the one's that apply to what I do buy.

Very rarely. If its already attached to a product while I'm about to buy it (or in a flyer at the front of the store for that particular day) I'll obviously use it, but I don't go out of my way to save coupons. When I do I tend to lose them. If it's a product I really use a lot of I try not to lose them.

I tend to accumulate discount cards for stores I buy a decent amount of items from, though. A lot easier not to lose.

I answered "yes" on behalf of my sweetheart, who is the main shopper in our household. She clips coupons and actually uses them every time she shops. Between sales and specials, along with coupons, her receipts regularly reflect savings of $20 to $30--sometimes more. I am way too disorganized to actually use any coupons I might capriciously clip, so I am very grateful to her for her practical, thrifty ways.

Hawk rocks! Coupons are swellness. I adore the feeling I get when I cruise up to the Walgreens counter with a basket full of goodies for which I have both store coupons and manufacturers coupons. Watching the total on the cash register drop and drop and drop and drop is just a little too sweet :-)

has anyone here had luck with groupon.com

Dog food coupons ... for the expensive, large bags of super nutritional brands. It is a fact that my dogs eat healthier than I do.

I bet its great for larger metro areas. Where i live I have to go to other areas. They do have some great restaurant deals. They had a spa thing that was really great, cheap the dates just didnt work for me

I used to be a coupon queen, but these days they're just a huge frustration for me.... it doesn't seem to matter what it is, I can get it cheaper buying the store brand than buying name-brand-with-a-coupon. I'm seriously considering not bothering clipping anymore, especially since my local store sends me occasional coupons on the store brands AND I can load my shopper's card with store brand coupons online.

I find I save the most these days when I watch for those "buy 10, get $5 off" sales.

In london there aren't any huge coupon sections in the sunday papers.
I am still not use to it. There also isn't a funny page either.
What some of the big super markets have here are royalty cards where you get money back on them. Last time the husband and I got £15.00 and change in cask-back at tecso. I rather like that better then some silly coupon to save a pound off of something I don't really want to buy in the first place.

if anyone knows any good coupon sites please post.


A friend of mine always brags that she saved XX this week with coupons BUT she uses a lot of processed and name brand items. I'm not an environmental saint, by no means, but rarely do I find coupons for fresh organic foods. I do check Earth Fare and Wholefoods sales and web sites for deals and have a freezer. I also buy bulk- I buy 50 pounds of rice and beans at a time. I go to Ollie's and hunt organic canned foods and juice, stock up like crazy.

I feel guilty when I buy a lot of over packaged stuff. Same thing with cleaners, etc. But if I can use them I will.

My parents use groupon a lot, they say it's great

It sounds like a good idea but I would have to remember the cupons and that will never happen.

I forget to take the coupons to the store. Duhhhhhh.
