If you have a neighbor or friend who gets the newspaper you can ask if they use the coupons. Many people don't use the coupons, they just like to read the news.

Has anyone else run into issues with stores stating that they no longer accept coupons printed off your computer? Two different times I was turned away at my local Winn Dixie and Publix Markets in South Florida (?) What gives?

Ok, I've been clipping coupons for almost two years. I know when the sales hit, your supposed to buy in bulk on that sale. My concern is... I'm the only provider for my family and most of my money is going to the bills. What kind of shopping list do I need to have AND put food on the table.

Hello All! I just moved to Lubbock, Texas and need to know if anyone else out there lives here? The stores are different here (other than Walmart, Wags & Target) & need help with others getting started... thanks!!

Hi, I'm 41 and from Iowa. I live with my husband and our 2 children ages 11 and 14, we also have 5 grown children from our first marriages.

I love coupons, it's actually turned into a kind of game for me. My friends are always joking but definately amazed by how I shop strategically. I would say that I save at lease 50% off what they pay for the same items at the grocery store. Thankfully I have a large pantry and extra freezer that allows me to stock up.

Thanks everyone on this forum for all of the great tips and inside deals that have helped me chop my grocery bill week after week.

Hi everyone..just wanted to let you all know, you inspire me to try and save money. I am new to this coupon thing, but feel I am doing pretty well. I have been reading the forums and learning so much. I am married with two children under 4. It is amazing how much money I spend at the grocery store just for a family of 4. Thanks alot everyone!!
