One thing you might consider trying is joining a coupon train. I am currently riding one. I get a wide variety of coupons that I wouldn't normally see. I also love getting to pass on all the baby coupons ( and others) to someone that really needs them.

I pass on most of the coupons I find because we rarely buy processed foods or junk foods. Most of our grocery bill comes from produce and fresh meats. It's a real bummer, because I'd love to save the extra money with coupons! As you can see from my blog, we've been battling our addiction to high-priced foods at the grocery store ... but I just don't want to sacrifice quality food for low prices, you know?

Using a grocery store card saved her about $30, coupons another $40! She doesn't wait for what she likes to go on sale, they eat what's on sale and what she has coupons for - that's the only way to afford feeding everyone! So far I haven't had luck with it, but that needs to change!

I was trying new products, but I've realized that there's just no substitute for regular old cooking! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment :) Sylvia,

Now I just can't seem to find much in terms of coupons that interest me. I think that I might resume coupon clipping when I need to start stocking up at CVS again!

Obviously still buy fresh fruits and veggies. As said in the other comment, don't let coupons dictate what you buy! You're still in control right? So only clip them for things you use. I'm a coupon clipper as well, but I can honestly say I haven't bought any prepackaged meals, or any type of junk food, for over a year. My family gets only the best.

I get most of my savings when I combine the coupons with the rebate programs at Rite Aid and Walgreen's. I only clip coupons for things that I would buy or possibly buy if they were at a good enough sale price. If I'm at the store and don't use the coupon, I'll stick it on the shelf for someone else who is going to buy that product anyway...might as well pass it on to someone who IS going to use it. tiffanies last blog post..<a href="http://www.welikemoney.com/2008/07/26/weekly-breakdown-03/" rel="nofollow">weekly breakdown #3</a> I’ve just recently started clipping coupons, but most of them don’t benefit me at the grocery store.
