Ok, I did not even realize that it was Friday until about an hour ago. It has been a long LONG week here with kiddos being sick and "stuff".
I hope everyone is enjoying this GOOD FRIDAY.
My question for the day . . .

My question for the day . . .
Are you a coupon clipper??
I have never been a coupon clipping pro. Yes, I have clipped before but I either forget about the coupons when I head to the grocery store or the coupons that I do clip are for items that I don't really need.
However, I keep reading about all these HUGE savings that some of you ladies get just by using coupons.....
I must say, I am a little jealous.
Is there some sort of "trick" to using coupons??

So interesting that you ask this because I've been wondering the same thing. I don't clip coupons, I usually just do my grocery shopping at the local WalMart and assume that I'm getting the best prices because of where I'm shopping. But recently a friend of mine bought over $200 worth of groceries for $60... so that got my brain working doubletime! Whenever I have looked at coupons it seems like most of the things that are for sale are pre-packaged foods like Hamburger Helper or whatever... I really don't eat most of that pre-packaged stuff so I'm wondering if I'd benefit. But if it'll save me $140 bucks I'm totally willing to look into it!
I recently found this blog that seems to have a lot of helpful tips: http://mommysnacks.blogspot.com/2008/10/shopping-with-coupons-beginners-guide.html
Yes, I love coupons. Unfortunately, though we don't ever have double coupon days here, nor do we get as good of coupons as you in the US.(or the volume)
I am really trying to be.. Its just a lot of times I forget to use them because I'm going crazy with the kids at the store lol.. I have to be really prepared in order to accomplish a simple coupon task! lol
We don't have double or triple coupon days here either. I do use coupons but recently I spent $233 & only saved $15! I did read that w/ coupons you should always buy the smaller size; you actually get more money off.
Yes I clip coupons. I try not to shop without them.
No, I've tried but I just can't get into it.
Thanks for the fun!

I am TOTALLY a coupon clipper! I like to save as much money as possible on the things that I *have* to buy so I can use my money on the things I *want* to buy, and couponing helps me do that!
Sometimes I do but most of the time I dont.. I wish I would more..
I do clip coupons and save a lot of money. I mostly save money on household products and beauty supplies. Often times, I get things for free. Groceries are harder to save on, or at least for me.
I try to buy generic to save whenever possible.
I've been so bad at couponing. (Is that even a word? couponing?) I'll take the time to clip them and then forget about them. I need help in this area, too. I'll have to check out Thrifty and Chic Mom's advice.
