I have my standbys for coupons, so I don't spend a lot of time. I'll save up the coupons that come during the week and then browse through them with my Sunday coffee.
I would imagine I save at least $40 a month by using coupons and choosing the correct stores with their special days of doubling/tripling coupons.
Sundays are my day. My oldest daughter is usually up before the rooster (no we don't have a rooster..LOL) and she walks to the top of the driveway to get the paper. So before I have to get ready for church, it's me, my cup of coffee and the paper. I usually skim through everything then come back later in the afternoon and cut them out.
I'm sure I save about $100 in coupons each month when comparing them to sales going on.
It's a must do in times like these. Plus, I have fun doing it. I've had people ask me t the store how I do it because they've seen me save lots of money.
I'm loving this group! Thanks!
LOL. I do my couponing with my coffee too. They kind of go together like PB&J!!
Happy Couponing.
AnnabelleMcB and luvbermuda, that's excellent!
If you divide the amount of time spent into the money saved, that's a pretty good hourly wage. I tell my husband that clipping coupons is part of my job as homemaker. When I tell him how much per hour I give back to the budget by doing this, he's thoroughly impressed. Then when I tell him that I'd have to earn another 25% per hour in the working world to clear that amount, he usually leaves the room, muttering something under his breath about my being obsessed with math. LOL

Good answers, ferrari-johnson! Thank you!
Also, in Jurassic Era, when I didn't have a computer, I used to call the toll free phone number on the label of the product I wanted coupons for. I'd tell the customer service people that I absolutely love their product (gush gush) but would add that I was sorry I'd have to start buying the less expensive store brand because I needed to economize. If the next sentence I heard wasn't, "Oh, let's send you some coupons," I'd say to them, "I'd love to have some coupons so I can continue to buy your product." I was never turned down. So, calling the toll free number might be another way of getting coupons.
