It's great how how much money they can save.
You could never do that in the UK. The businesses are way to fucking tight to allow anybody to get that much for free.

i never buy anything on the internet wthout searching for a coupon beforehand. no reason to pay $200 for shoes when I can get 20% off and pay 160.
i use coupons but i am not crazy about it. if i get one in the mail and i need the procut i use it. i dont spend all day looking for them and clipping them - my tme is worth more than .50cents

http://www.weusecoupons.com - The people on this site can teach you a lot, but the site itself is a little confusing at first since they changed it. The button to join is located in the top center of the page I believe.
http://www.couponmom.com - This site is for match-ups. Using this site, you can get deals for just MI and you can search all stores for a single product or you can search a single store for all their match-ups that week. I suggest you look at all the drug stores every week, because they have a lot of freebies or money makers every week.

My niece only spends about 20 to 30 minutes in prep time and spends about $60-70 on what would have cost her $300. But, she is a very organized individual, so that makes it easy for her.
You don't cut out coupons and save them. You date the packet of coupons and keep them together. The sites above will tell you when a certain product goes on sale, and what week of coupons it is in and how to play that deal. It really is simple, now if I can just get my husband to play along.

I've not tried those, actually, I'm just learning. Saving money in this economic climate just make plain sense. I agree with you, it's only good if it doesn't take up to much time.

Ok so heres where i'm confused- These people will say they found something on sale for a dollar then they have a 50 cent off cupon that will double making it free- Then they grab a whole bunch of the thing and get them all free- do they have 100 cupons that are all the same or does one cupon just work on each item no matter how many? i'm confused.
And where do they get all these cupons? Do you have to buy newspapers?

Wife does it. At first I said the same thing "what a waste of time." Now after a year she saves me some serious money. To break it down for you the simple way. Papers at the dollar store are a dollar instead of 2 or so on sun. Tues she gets coupons in the mail. Certain magazines have coupons in them. She gets all the coupons from our neighbors who dont use them (trades the crosswords and such for them). CVS and Walgreens are where they do the most couponing because you get register rewards (like buy this item get 5 bucks back for store credit) they use that + coupons + local sales with about 10 different transactions and roll the credit to get everything for the amount of tax (usually bout 30 cents or so) On top of that buy a certain amount of items and you get rebates from manufacturers. Groceries are the same way. Stack double or triple coupons on top of local sales. They also do the buy 10 items get a discount sales also on top of that for example. Its a lot more in depth then that and gets quite boring to me. But before hand I was spending 100+ on groceries a week. Now its more like 30. With that being said shes at the store right now trying to rake in the pre black Friday stuff. 1:18am lol.
