It really is worth it, imo.

1. YES
You have to be pretty well to do before it isn't worth your time.

Interesting to note: Coupons and sale events are often planned for different markets at different times. My wife's gradmother clips coupons and sends us the ones she won't be using (we reciprocate). You would be surprised how often there's a sale on a particular item HERE that combines with a doubled coupon from THERE to equal almost free groceries.

Sounds pretty bad there in your house. Go through a lot of the stuff, do you? :-)

3. Yes, if it is an item or
brand that I like and would want to buy anyway. Its especially good if there is a sale and you have a coupon too. You can save tons of money that way.

4. coupons
I always do that, especially when they have double coupons
I also like when they have $20 coupons off when you spend $100
I have had $100 worth of groceries and paid $69 before
It just depends on what and when you buy

Yes it is worth it big time
especially in this Bush down economy

5. Yes
And I find it worth it, when I remember them. I throw away more than a use becuase I forget them.

7. Yes, I'm quite good with coupons, I think
Even my mother is impressed. But I know that there are people out there who do way better. I don't work at it that hard. But I can sure save, especially, on cat food and litter.

8. No. I don't shop corporate stores.... I try to stay away from
those giant box stores and shop only local markets.

9. Hell yes !
Sometimes if it is a double coupon day and the item is on sale you can even make money on some items.
