Do you use coupons?

• 
  I recently decided to start couponing. I went online and did alot of research while stockpiling my coupons for a couple of weeks. I save all coupons. I never know if I can trade coupons for what I need from someone or if I might try a product i dont normally buy just because it is cheaper w/coupon. (I just got a loaf of name brand bread that I dont normally buy because it is so expensive for only .50 and i was glad i kept the coupon.) I try to match my coupons up with the sales (there are so many websites that will actually list all products in the ad and match the coupons up for you for free) and with what store gives me more for each coupon. For example, my area has four of the same grocery stores. I called each one and they all have different coupon policies. My favorite triples up to .50 so i combine that with the ads they have and get alot of stuff for cheap. Another thing I learned is that Walmart matches all prices and takes coupons (sadly they do not double). All you have to do is show the ad at the checkout. I just made my first big shopping trip and got $117 worth of groceries for $57. It is all stuff we use, mixed with store brands and name brands. The last thing I have learned from the many websites I looked at is to stockpile things like tp/cereal... when they are super cheap. Who cares if you dont need Cheerios right now if they are only 16 cents, but alot so taht when you need them they will be there and you dont have to pay full price.

  Wow, there are some incredibly good sites listed here, thank you. I didn't see, or maybe just missed, my two favorites http://www.restaurant.com and http://www.couponandcodes.com. Restaurant.com has wonderful deals and couponandcodes.com seems to find anything I search for. Anyhow, thanks again. - Tom http://www.acleaningbid.com

  I use coupons for a family of 5. I plan meals & do once a month cooking. I put together a website that has links to a bunch of manufacturer's websites with coupons. www.treasurygarden.com. On the left side there is a coupon link. I post recipes on there as well.
