Do you use regularly use coupons?

I do.  Not like you see on those Extreme Couponing shows, but I save at least $8 - $15 each time.  I figure something saved is better than nothing!

No, not really lately. I'll just use them if I find them on a Sunday insert or if they're on the package.

Years ago I was really into couponing and refunds. Spent alot of time doing that and saved so much on our grocery bill. Then, it was just really hard to find anything. I guess alot of them you have to print online.

I am hit or miss with it.  Either I forget about them completely, or can save about $10.

You know, the few times I've tried to print them online, it seems the stores scanners never accepted them.  So I stopped even bothering to print them.  Too much of a hassle.   

Not really. We don't buy the newspaper so we don't get those coupons.  BJs mails us a book every month so I'll use what I can for there.  And we keep a stash of Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupons in the car for when we stop in there for something. 

Every once in a while I'll print some off the internet, but it's rare.  

Yes.  Not to the length of the people on the tv shows, but I do try to use them on things that I would normally purchase.  I'm not going to buy something just because I have a coupon.

Yes, but I'm not a hard core couponer. I just go online and in paper for stuff I need for the week/month. I don't stockpile.

No. I wish I was better at it, but to be honest, I just forget them.

Nowadays, only joanns and michaels.

Yes I do on websites and at craft stores mostly.  

No..but I usually use the special coupons my local grocer has. They change them every 2 weeks and its on their name brand stuff.

I try. I want to learn to coupon more. Sometimes it is difficult for me as I have to use a magnifier to read expiration dates so I take the time to write on the coupon in larger print.  And I cannot run from store to store since I cannot drive. So I focus on a few stores/

Only online/smart phone ones for Joann's or Michaels. Hubs does the grocery shopping, and we've found we save far more by shopping at Aldi's than we ever would with coupons at our regular grocery store. And I'm just not organized enough to keep them all straight!

Not so much...we no longer get a Sunday newspaper and when I did clip coupons, I'd forget to use them.

Only at craft stores, online stores and Starbucks. 

On baby stuff (diapers, wipes, formula, food, clothes) I always seem to. On everything else, it is hit or miss. I keep saying I need to start, but haven't yet.

Hardly ever on groceries because most of the food in the coupons is stuff I don't feed my family. It's usually all kinds of processed premade food & I cook from scratch. I do have a coupon folder where I keep all my Bath & Body, Macy's, Joann's , Michaels , Bed Bath & Beyond, VS, Books a Million coupons and I never by online without finding a coupon code.

I used to, but it took too much time cutting them and then if I forgot them at home.........yeah not a pretty scene. I do use coupons at the crafty places including here

I used to. I always clipped coupons. No the only ones I use are the ones stuck to the products I'm buying at the store.
