*POLL* Are you a coupon clipper?? How do you even pronounce it?!

Last week my roomies and I went to Wegmens for some late-night food shopping. Everyone had their own carts, but unluckily for me I was stuck on a long line.
They all finished their purchases before I did, so I told them to drive by with the car. The guy in front of me had all his items scanned at this point, so I figured it would take about a minute or two until my items got scanned.
Nope. I was wrong. He pulls out this book which looked like the Holy Trilogy put together, the Koran + Bible (Old + New) + Torah. I saw coupons.... ooodles and OOODLES of coupons. I takes 2 more mins for the cashier to scan the coupons. I must've turned my head to look away in disbelief, because when I looked back towards the cashier I saw him hand the guy cash.
Did this man just use so many coupons he got cash back!? (it was obvious he used his debit and took out money)

I use my safeway member discount card. Cool Pond is so 90's.

yes I use coupons. The best is when stores have double or triple manufacturer weeks. You can usually save more money than you spend on those joyous occasions.

HOW CAN YOU NOT?! IT'S FREE MONEY!

do you realize how much money you all can save if you buy on sale + club cards + coupons?!

some shopping trips i have come out saving more money than i spent. of course the markup on retail groceries is already insane in the first place, hence buy on sale!

Coupons are money. I never get upset when somebody in front of me pulls out a cardfile and starts shuffling through it.

The wife and use them all the time. You can save from 1/3 to 2/3 off your bill if you shop smart.
