I have recently started using coupons....I use to clip them and always forget them at home or not use them at all. Only now I have been clipping them and using them and saving at least half off. I have even used them towards some christmas gifts and doing well with them. I went to CVS and spent 18.00 and saved 14.00 -- how cool was that!!
do you use coupons? How long have you been using them?

I'm so glad you are getting into using coupons. Remember when printing coupons online, they will let you print 2 coupons per computer. So if you happen to have 2 computers, you can print 4 coupons. Walgreens is another great place for savings. They have register rewards good on your next purchase. Today, we used a coupon on razor blades and then got a $3. register reward to use the next time we ship at Walgreens. Once you get into the swing of using coupons, it gets easier and easier to save money with them. Have fun saving!

thats so funny YB, I just learned that last night.....hubby and I both have laptops so I printed 2 coupons off his computer last night, only now we are low on ink and I have to replace it as soon as i can. LOL
I have shopped walgreens alot in the past years and never used coupons there but now I wont go into a store without my coupons, I went shopping today and saved 16.48 and only spent 45.00 -- I am so happy to be using coupons.
stealth, I clip coupons online and in the sunday paper for things that we get every week like diapers and snacks.
I am just figuring out how coupons work but the more I learn I will share so that we can all learn how to save as much money as possible.

another thing I found this week is if you have a Meijer near you.....you can sign up online for mperks.com it is a coupon site that is through your cell/phone number. I just signed up this week and will learn more about it.

If you want to save money on Ink. Try buying it at 123Inkjets.com. I buy the re-manufactured cartridges. I've never had a problem with them and they are super inexpensive. They are also really fast and I usually get the ink within a couple of days. Also look at the paid to shop sites that you belong to cause You can get points for this site at most of them. thats so funny YB, I just learned that last night.....hubby and I both have laptops so I printed 2 coupons off his computer last night, only now we are low on ink and I have to replace it as soon as i can.

thanks YB, I will have to look that up and see where it will benefit me. I signed up with a new grocery store that has a rewards program that you get points from buying items on sale and you turn those points in when you build them up for groceries so I am interested to find out how it works. so check your local supermarkets and see what kind of rewards program they have.

For some reason, there were no coupons in my paper today. I feel ripped off. They don't put them in holiday weekends, so I'm sure there will be none next week. Oh well. I'll just print off some on my computer.

YB, I found out they dont put them in the weekend before a holiday....but I read that they will be there in Wednesdays paper. I was totally disappointed when I got my 2 papers and there was none in there too....worse my ink hasnt come in yet and I cant print any. but I did take an hour and organize my coupons and my sales ads to the stores i need to go to this week and made up my lists of what I need to get....so at least I was productive with my coupons that way.

I googled it and found a 2011 coupon insert schedule. It is usually the holiday weekend that the coupons don't come out, but this time it was the week before. I bet there will be a bunch in the next paper. I did find a bunch of good sales. BTW, If you have a Dollar General and get on their e-mailing list. Every Sat. they have been having a coupon for buy 25.00 and get 5.00 off. It helps to take your coupons in there and take advantage of that savings.
