re: Are coupons worth the hassle?

Theres some people that end up paying like one cent after cupons haha, so i'd do it.

i only buy the sunday paper because that is where the coupons are. actually, though, i sometimes don't even have to do that because there is a lady who lets me have her coupons because she doesn't use them. i heard somewhere once that they said the time it takes to clip the coupons or whatever isn't worth the money you save, and it could be right, but i still feel like i'm saving. if you have certain brands that you always buy and are loyal to, it may not be worth it for you. but for me, i will usually buy whatever brand or a generic if it is cheaper or i have a coupon. i've noticed that a lot of the coupons are for the same brands or companies each week (like proctor and gamble, etc.), so by offering the coupons each week, they are basically getting me to be a loyal customer to them, if that makes sense. when i really get into my coupons and sale shopping, i get all the circulars and my coupons together and i plan my list and go by what i have coupons for and what's cheaper where. i also try to plan coupons that are a "get [insert amount here] off a purchase of TWO [insert item here]" to coincide with a 2-for sale. hm... i don't know what else. oh, but i have saved lots of money at CVS because they have the extra bucks and rewards and stuff, plus you can use their CVS coupons in combination with manufacturer's coupons. good luck!  

You can save so much money just by checking the tag for the price per ounce...a package may be cheaper, but you may be paying 31 cents per ounce vs 23...I always check the per ounce price...and we get coupons mailed to us for free...I always clip them, and I use internet sites

Hmm,so it'd be worth buying cartridges for my printer?
