Do you use Grocery Coupons

[tm37]

Just wondering if you guys use Grocery Coupons when shopping. Been looking at OTHER BOARDS (*SHUDDER*) and people seem to be able to save 30-50%!:Q

Any sucess like that here?

If I see a good one, I'll get it but I don't go actively looking for them

you can actually save alot of money with coupons, people are just lazy essential if you are a college student living in an apartment

Of course, sometimes the GF saves over $50 using them, it would be stupid not to use them if you have them for items you would normaly buy.

 

[SyahM]

sometimes, especially for ice-cream.

 

[vi edit]

Damn straight!

Really help out on cereals, cleaning supplies, and frozen dinners. Those $.50 off coupons really stack up! Last time we went grocery shopping, coupons saved us $13 on a $110 grocery bill. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Hell yeah, coupon = money; would you throw away money?

 

[Uclagamer_99]

we should start a post in hot deals...use your coupons

I use coupons and my bonus card save much $$$$$$$

 

[RossMAN]

Damn straight. Save at least 50 cents - $5 per trip to the grocery store.

<< Damn straight. Save at least 50 cents - $5 per trip to the grocery store. >>




stores in my area double and sometimes triple coipons to 99 cents, I buy multiples of high value coupons from a coupon clipping service for products I use, wait for sales and then stock up . Heck, Peapod,the grocery delivery service even takes coupons and orders oveer $60 are delivered free.

Gosh ROSSman I thought you didn't buy ANYTHING that wasn't half off!:Q

 

[rudder]

coupons save you money as long as you don't use one on something you did not intend to buy. Sometimes I do this since our grocery store doubles coupions up to 50 cents. On some items like ketchup and mustard you can make a couple of pennies.

My grocery coupons actually end up paying for my newspaper subscription, and then some.

I usually save 5-7 a week, mostly on things I would buy anyway, but sometimes on 'treats'.

Then again, I am shopping for a family of five....

 

[swayinOtis]

count me in as a coupon user. my sunday paper has a bunch of coupon pages so every sunday i collect coupons. no one in my family uses them. i think they are just lazy.

like baffled said, some stores have double and triple coupon day so ask your local store manager about that and start saving.

I don't anymore. I found myself buying things I didn't normally buy... and then there's the "what is my time worth" factor. As for "Double" and "Triple" coupon days, I think they're illegal in Florida or something because I haven't see a DOUBLE COUPON sign in a grocery store window since I moved from Colorado.

Normally I buy Publix (local chain) brand product. It's typically so good quality, Consumer Reports rated Publix the best grocery store. If I use a coupon, it'll be for brand name product and I end up spending more in the long run. It's just not worth it.

When the national brands go on great sales, I'll partake, but without a coupon. For example, I was in a crappy ass U-Save store to pick up some beer. Walking to the beer section, I passed a Tropicana disply that had Pure Premium on sale for 2/$2.50. That's GREAT! I normally pay $1.99 for one Publix brand OJ. See?

You just have to be good with your shopping habits.

Here's a hot deal, about 3 weeks ago I went to albertsons with my buddy, and saw they were selling 5 15 stick gum packs for 1 dollar (they're usually 99cents a piece). Well I bought 25 of em for $5. I walk back in like 3 days alter and see them back at their 99cent per pack price

My wife and I collect almost all our coupons from the Sunday newspaper. Last month there was a Sunday where the grand total of manufacturer coupons was over $380 and the Sunday newspaper only costs $1.50

My favorite coupons are the $10 Entertainment coupon books, it's insane how much you can save. Almost 99% of the coupons are "Buy 1 - Get 1 Free" with a value of around $5 each. Eat out 2 times and you've already recouped the cost of the coupon book! There's over 50 pages of coupons! Ok I gotta take a few deep breaths and calm down.

 

[Flashram]

I gave up trying to use coupons. The few times I actually remember to bring them to the store with me I end up forgetting to give them to the cashier when I check out. I'm not a forgetful person, there's just something about coupons.

 

[deerslayer]

nope, no coupons for me

 

[gwlam12]

yup i do. in the end, it all adds up and u end up saving lots of money
