coupons

[Cumberland]

Does anyone seriously do coupons? I was just reading a website called couponmom.com that has links to tons of them. Our new house is near a grocery store that has a huge sign up saying 'double coupons every day with shopper card'- so i rarely use coupons but that means if you have one for .50, then double is 1.00 off, right? it might be worth it then....

I used too use them a lot more diligently. We don't get the paper anymore so they stopped coming to my house and I stopped using them. Many coupons coincide with sales at the grocery store so it can be worthwhile to use them.

I think it can be if it is something you are buying any way. I noticed I bought things I might not normally buy because of a coupon + sale combo. The double coupons are nice -- haven't noticed any stores here that do it. But I used to go to one in Denver that did.

Definitely use them for diapers and household type items.

Don't clip myself but just read an article (money mag online) about a website called http://www.thegrocerygame.com

Here is a link to the article which describes the service: http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/20/pf/g...0601/index.htm

I read the article and was intrigued with the website, but I know myself well enough to know that I would likely fail at using the system properly.
