I would love to do it but I'm really don't want to dedicate the time to it.  Normally I just use them on occasion if I happen to see a coupon and was going to get the item anyway.  Still, it's really frustrating how most of the coupon companies want you to print them out, which is a pain for me cause I don't have a printer that I can easily attach to my laptop.  If I could just move them too my phone or something, that would be awesome.

I'm not good with coupons~but I like price-checking!!!  Take a flyer to Walmart and they will match any price in it!

I only bother with the coupons for the things I regularly buy then I keep an eye out for sales on those things so I can combine the coupon with the sale price. Sales generally have regular cycles. I'm not willing to drive from store to store.

I love using coupons, but sometimes I don't have time to do the clipping. I have trouble concentrating at the store if the kids are with me so I end up no using the coupons and just throwing stuff in the basket that's on the list. I need to get more organized and find time when I can shop alone so I can save some cash.

I use coupons all the time.  Only on items that I use, or would like to try.  I cut the coupons out of the Sunday paper, and check several coupon sites on the computer, including the Fusion Cash daily offer under "Paid to Click".  I only print the coupons from the computer web sites that I will use.  I then divide the coupons into categories, such as cleaning supplies, dairy, laundry, etc.  I have envelopes marked accordingly with these items in alphabetical order.  This way, when I'm looking for a certain item, it is easy to find.  I look through the envelopes every month to discard any coupons that have expired.   I'm not an extreme couponer, but every penny counts, just like Fusion Cash, which I love !!!

Sometimes when I shop with coupons I end up paying a coupon tax. Can someone explain that to me?

I do not use couponing as much as I use to.  However, when I use couponing, I use it to purchase items on my next shopping trip.  I use to hold on to coupons for weeks.  Since, I do not coupon that often, I now use them immediately.

I love couponing and I love extreme couponing lol The thing is, they don't double coupon value where I currently live but I definitely enjoy saving a little money.

I would love couponing too but I suck at it too. Mainly because I forget to buy a Sunday paper and I don't have a printer at home for the coupons I wish they would just send them in the mail ::)

First of all I am so happy I'm not the only one who doesn't really get how the extreme couponers do it - other than i know that they do take advantage of double couponing and no grocery stores in our area do that but I still don't get it.......also don't get where they get all the coupons whatever  :dontknow:

Couponing can be very time consuming, but I have saved a lot using coupons. 

Never heard of a coupon tax.  Perhaps you were getting the item free....you still have to pay sales tax for the item as if you were buying it.

You can have a subscription to the Sunday paper and have it delivered.  It turns out to be cheaper than buying it at the store.
