I don't want to stop couponing but it is getting frustrating! I've recently changed the way I eat (not calling it a diet!!) and there will hardly ever be coupons for the things I'm allowed to eat. I give away probably 90% of the coupons in every paper..
Ok, I just needed to vent a little.

What are you allowed to eat? I get frustrated too... so many of the coupons are for high carb, high sugar junk.
What I tend to do is watch for Catalina sales on canned and frozen goods that offer an "on your next order" amount at the register... then I take those and buy the "things I can eat."
I certainly don't do as well as some of the ladies here... I tend to average about 60% savings that way. It's better than a poke in the eye, so I can't complain.
I also tend to hang on to my coupons until the last possible minute... That's when I see the best deals usually.
