Ann Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Do you clip and use coupons from the Sunday paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Every once and awhile I do it and then 3 weeks later I throw out the crumpled coupons I find in the bottom of my pocketbook. I do cut and keep the dept. store 15% off coupons. I put them in the console in my car, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thats funny Ginney as I just did that. I clip them out put them in my pocketbooks, forget to use them then throw out the crumbled ones, just like you. Then it seems when I go to use one, they won't accept it becasue it says "on two". I never buy two. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I only use department store coupons when they are a great deal or I am needing something in particular. Hate the grocery store stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes, mostly for groceries and notions. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 they make me crazy. I detest having to jump through hoops for a nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Used to do it, but like Maryanne......don't want 2 of most stuff. Usually the coupons are for the brands I don't use anyway. And it does get me too....like Cindi......just give me the da$# 25 cents off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Used too but got wise and stopped using them and actually started to save money shopping as i quit using those darn coupon's to buy stuff i normally would not have.But i they did teach me to do more price comparing.....

MalouDP Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nope. Too much paper. I just go to wallmart. Everything there is cheap. No coupons needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I used to be a big time coupon clipper but rarely use them anymore. It used to seem like I would clip them and then never had them with me when I needed them. Like Ginny, I do clip the department store coupons. They really come in handy when I can use them on an item that's on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Used to faithfully collect coupons, eventually my wallet would bulge and I'd toss out all the out of date ones. Start over and toss later. Finally realized that I never used them (never was a quick study) so now I don't even look at them. That portion of the weekend paper isn't touched by me, however my husband has a great time telling me all about the bargains........too bad he has no idea what I actually buy!!

kamataca Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 You know, I always mean to... I'm just not organized enough to do that. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I only clip them if it's brands I buy - and THEN, I wait for the item to go on sale so I can get a loaf of garlic bread for $.25. Sure wish the special dog food I have to buy for the allergy prone dog would come with a 25% off coupon! ...and now that I'm not buying diapers, I see coupons for 'em every week! Geesh...

Carleen Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I am so bad with coupons. I have never bothered to clip a coupon because I know that when I went shopping I'd forget to take the coupon with me, or when I have the coupon, I wouldn't be able to get to the store that day. It is just the way I am. I'm even terrible when it comes to gift certificates. I never remember to use them, or have them with me when I am at the store, and when I have the certificates handy, I can't find or think of anything to buy. I have 3 gift certificates in my purse right now one from October 2001, one from December 2003 and one from September 2004. I'm just too disorganized for that kind of stuff. Can't they just deposit the money in my account for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
