Do you use them?
Anyone watch the coupon show (can't remember the name) on TLC? They get a ton of free groceries!!

I use them sometimes. I'd love to be able to double up on coupons but they don't allow it here...

I've saw lots of people on facebook posting about couponing... it's the 'in' thing to do now. I have a friend who coupons and Walgreens and CVS and ends up with free stuff all the time or spending less than $5 and getting bags full of stuff... she will tell you though that couponing is VERY time consuming no matter how good you are at it... I'm too lazy!

My neighbor does it and she has a knack for it. She also has the time since she doesn't work and is not involved in sports for her kids etc. I don't have the time. If I have a coupon yes I'll use it but I don't wait to buy things till I have one, I don't go all over the place to different stores to use them and I don't go out of my way to acquire them.

I use coupons but wish I didn't have to. They are so time consuming and also just a plain pain in the butt. I love the rush of a good deal, but I hate how invested I am in it. If I forget a coupon, or it goes on sale the next day I get REALLY upset with myself. LOL!

It is sad but true. Until I start working again, it is just part of my "job" but I hate it.

Right- I forgot that the women from the show put in lots of hours inorder to receive those deals...
