Does anybody cut coupons?

TYTY!

Here's a link to a $10 Bealls coupon, if you don't already have it.

Oh Thanks ILander...I have to go to Bealls to return something so perfect timing!!! Are you a FL gal ?

Bealls is one of my favs because I have one within 4 miles of my house and the mall is a lot further.
Plus they carry a lot of the surf name brands that my older son likes (and that I hate to pay full price for).
I look for the 50-70% off sells for his stuff! He doesnt know the difference and doesnt care.

No, not as a rule, not for food. We don't shop at regular groceries all that much: meat from a locally owned meat market, cheese/pasta/spices from a locally owned cheese shop, that sort of thing. So they aren't carrying stuff that gets "coupon-ed". Most coupons seem to be for processed stuff we rarely buy, so I hardly ever see one that catches my eye. Mostly I just throw the flyers out without looking anymore.

I'm in awe of serious couponers. Earlier this year I got hooked on a blog where the writer was trying to eat on $1/day by couponing. During the process he was also able to donate a ton of food to food banks.

That being said, I don't clip often. I do always get my coupons for Joann's, Michael's, and BBB, but as far as food goes we don't get any newspapers so I don't do it. Thinking of the money I could save is so tempting though.

Even those who don't eat process foods have to buy cleaning supplies, TP, toothpaste, etc...Not everyone has time or the energy to clip them but I find it hard to believe people (at least in the US) would argue that clipping coupons is not worth it.

I think the wholesale club that is the best deal is BJ's club. Not only do they send out store coupons but you can stack them with brand coupons and the savings REALLY add up. Gas is also cheaper at their pumps.

Another great way to save is with prescription coupons. Target has a $10 coupon usually once a month for a new or transferred 'script. Drugstores are usually around $25.

Steph, I only buy the Sunday paper and as long as I save $2 it pays for itself. Beware though. On holiday weekends there usually aren't coupon inserts.
