I don't go "extreme", but I usually do try to buy things that are on sale and I have a coupon for.  It does make you feel pretty good when you get an amazing deal on something.  A few months ago I got a 2-Liter of Pepsi Next for $.49 after a $.50 coupon.  I try to avoid paying full price for anything if I can avoid it.

Yes I love coupon shopping but I am not an extreme shopper though. Whenever I see coupons I will cut them out or print them off the computer to save them for later and try to use them before they expire;they actually do come in good when you really need them.

We use don't use coupns enough. We're starting to realize that we need to do more couponing, especially since food prices have risen.

I do like to save and I am willing to scrouge for discounts by searching, printing and cutting coupons if I need to. However, I will also not just get everything under the sun because the item is cheap, especially food. I'm not a complete health nut for sure, but I am conscious about certain ingredients and strive to a degree a healthy balance on food intake in my household even if I might have to on occasion pay a premium.

I am not a coupon shopper, but i would love to know how to save money on food and other stuff. I have tried to use coupons but when my sister and i went to the store and looked at the product it was usely not a good deal due to the fact it wasn't something we used on a regular bases. I  would take any advice on how to use coupons.

If something is not on special, or I don't have a coupon for it, we will just do with out it.  No one can do it like the TLC show, because in the real world they do not allow people to use so many coupons for like items.  I usually save about 75% - 80% on my grocery bill.  I also use coupons for dining out, for trips for clothing.  When your income drops by about 80 % you get to be very resourceful.

Yes, I am a coupon shopper, but not I am not like they are on extreme couponing. I always search for coupon codes when buying online and try to plan purchases in advance, watch for sales, and stack coupons to try an receive the lowest price for products I purchase. I have gotten pretty good at this over the years and have set a "threshold" for what I am willing to pay for some items. I try to have enough in my (to use an extreme couponing term) "stockpile" so I can hold out and wait for the lowest price before buying more of something I need.

It's hard to do it, I mean you have to be extremely dedicated to do it, and you must like it even a little bit. I've never been a person who would use a coupon; the closest I've been to being a Couponer (if that's a term) is using something like a frequent buyer thingie, when after a few purchases they punch your card and you a free thing. There are many stores that don't take certain coupons or aren't participating locations, so I imagine you would have to do some research as to where you can use which coupons and furthermore, ask the clerks if in fact they accept coupons. I don't know, I just don't like the whole feel of it all.
