Do you use coupons?

I have been using coupons for many years now. I usually get them suckers from the Sunday newspaper. I use them for food and/or anything else that I use around the house. I have saved hundreds of dollars over the years. Are you a coupon user?

I am not super coupon woman, but I do use coupons. Amen to Huggies and the monthly mail i get from them because I would be hurting trying to furnish Ultra trim diapers every two weeks. lol If there is something that I use on the regular and the savings cant be beat I will try to save it and use it. If its not for diapers more often then not, I forget them at home lol

I have been using coupons for years. When I get the Sunday paper, I check the Walgreens paper to see if there's anything I'd like to purchase for the week. Then, I'll check to see if there is a coupon from the manufacturer. Would you believe that I have purchased toothpaste and used a coupon and also ended up getting it free after a rebate? I've done this several times.

I've also used manufacturers coupons toward the purchase of batteries and single use cameras and film. If you're not already participating in the rebate savers program that Walgreens offers, I'd like to suggest that you start. If you choose the gift card option, they'll give you a 10% bonus.

Recently, I purchased a double pack of Fuji single use cameras from Walgreens. I received 2 coupons from Walgreens good for $4.00 off 1 hour photo processing.

Coupons are used in the grocery store too.

My mother will sometimes clip the coupons and forget to take them to the store.

coupons and grocery outlet and albertsons & Costco (because I need that 5 gallon jug of mayo :) ) Albies always got something on sale that I need and they have this bomb a stock up sale 10 for 10$ on things like Juice, fresh veggies a 5lb bag of taters for 1$. I just used up the last of the 1/2 gallon juices that I bought in Dec....And they give you 5$ coupons on your purchases...I grocery shop once a month and my budget for 3 people is 150$, and believe it or not it lasts.

The best way to shop is to plan your menu for the month. I know it sounds a little martha stewartish, but if you plan your meals, and buy what you need for them (assuming you don't have to stock up on essentials everytime you go), it really saves money. Being off on a Sunday and Monday helps because I can prep for the week for meals and then that way we just heat what we need.

Good advice!
