In the end it made us buy more since the coupons were often for things we don't normally buy. We even bought a whole book full of coupons, but almost the only ones we used were the $5 off a $50 grocery purchase ones.

I've tried! I've joined coupon trains, groups, etc but most aren't for the foods we eat. I do use them now and then for non-perishables and once in awhile I find a food coupon we can use but it's rare indeed. So, we just do what works for us and wish well to the coupon clippers out there. I do admit I'm a little envious of their savings, though! :) Count me in as another who doesn’t use a lot of coupons.

Coupons could not be on a monetized basis but in product basis, this is good for budgeting moms like me. Coupons have good deals comes with it also if you've got a great coupon you really got the "jackpot". I do claimed a "jackpot" on coupon so I'm still going for it on some products. :) It is really an advantage for us buyers to avail coupons.

I do scan the sunday paper and the few items I would use coupons for are now buy one, get one at half price, or buy two, get one free. I don't have the pantry space to store all those items. Like you said, lots of coupons are also for things I don't eat or need to have. I almost do better savings wise, by keeping a close eye on the supermarket flyers. Every once in a while, I do manage to get a coupon and get a good deal, but not that often. Cindy I agree with you, coupons are just not a great deal for many people.

Many grocery stores offer coupons for boxed goods like cereals and snacks. While it is good to use coupons, if you were not going to buy it anyway, why spend that couple of dollars? Coupons for the most part, in my opinion, don't do me any good unless I was planning on buying that. If not, it would be a waste of money. I agree.

Like you, I have not found many coupons for food but there are plenty for toothpaste, toilet paper and the like to make it worthwhile for me. I use coupons more for non-perishables than for food.

Two of our large supermarkets have $10 off $50 worth of groceries--if your area has anything like that, they are definitely worth it because they cover whatever you buy.
