Coupon queens

Just reading a couple of threads and "coupon" kept coming up. I haven't really used coupons in some time. Are there any ladies or gents here who would tell me besides the newspaper, where you're finding coupons? We get fliers at the house, but maybe only could use 1-2. Thanks.

I think in some cases nowadays 'coupons' are loaded online, whether it's an internet site or an app. My mother will load ones from Fred Meyers on her account and they will be there at register. Whether that goes beyond grocery type stores, I'd most likely think so.

I agree with the post about internet coupons but there are websites that are just for coupons. The internet is trolled to find discounts & coupons & sales, etc. Don't ask me where, I got started on this years ago and it was taking more time than it was worth, plus I don't have a big family, I'm not a big consumer.

I used to get coupons then only shop on double-coupon days and it got tiresome fast. I would also find myself with a good coupon, I would carry it around until it expired! OK so throw that one away, oh here's another.

Try coupons dot com or search coupon queen and see what you find.

I agree .............i used to use quite a bit of coupons...then coupons changed to having to buy mulitiples of the products in order to get the same discount....whereas then i would have to buy lets say two boxes of granola bars in order to get $1.00 off instead of the old coupons which said $1.00 off one box......................never seemed worth having to put out $$ for multiple products to get a coupon off.................

I used to love couponing. I think the extreme coupon shows killed couponing. You used to get $1 coupons for 1 item. My store would double them and many times I would get the item free. Now the coupons are 25 cents and you have to buy 4. I look at the coupons Sunday, but rarely cut anything out. 😞

I recently started to match coupons with the weekly ads and have saved quite a bit of money. Since it's only my husband and myself I'm not going to go crazy buying things that we won't use . I did find an app that gives rewards points for scanning receipts.

Fetch Rewards dot com. Use code B7KNX for extra points.

I did find a good deal at Target for shampoo. My husband must think he still has his long flowing hair from his youth since he uses a bottle of shampoo every 2 weeks!

There used to be a lot more coupons in the Sunday papers years ago than now. Not only less, but many of the coupons are not what I would use/buy anyway. I just moved to the Southeast last year and the grocery store that I most frequent, Krogers, has a digital app. It usually has a couple of coupons of items I buy on a regular basis but if I use a Kroger digital coupon, I can't use any other coupon on top of that. That's when you can really start saving but I think the stores figured out to stop that. Bummer. I used to troll the internet for coupons. I'd spend hours trying to find stuff. Just ended up being a waste of time so I stopped doing that.

when my kids were young I loved clipping coupons & shopping on double coupon days at our local store. My boys were "experts" to figuring out sale flyer using our coupons (of course it was a good lesson in math & organization) & of course I only used for things were ate. We had a small "stockpile" of staples, laundry stuff, cleaning supplies.

As they got older they lost interest & I didn't make dinners much as they both played travel hockey, baseball & soccer. Not home much!

Back then it was a great savings off the actual bill - who remembers those $1 and store bonus coupons? Now, not worth the time (even though just 2 of us) what's .50 cents off THREE boxes of cereal or 10 cents off a can of soup!

i do digital coupons at Dollar General for my laundry & cleaning supplies. Last week I saved 9.00! That's a big deal🙂

Yesterday I was in line behind a woman checking out. Her total bill was 400.00+ and she had only one coupon. I couldn't believe it when I used to watch those news shows where they showed how women and men use multiple couponing to reduce their grocery bill. She could have used one of those coupon mavens. Obviously it didn't bother her but it bothered me. She could have slashed that bill in half easily. Where do you get your best coupon deals?

What bothered me about those coupon TV shows was most of those people were just plain greedy. They would buy 40 of something without even knowing what the item was. Then they built shelves to hold all this stuff, most of which will end up wasted. If they had donated some of it I might have felt more charitably towards them. I'm glad they are off the air.

I shop at Kroger. I’m signed up for their store card and go through their digital coupons each week, choosing ones I think I will use. Also Kroger periodically mails me paper coupons for items I buy regularly. Sometimes there are free item coupons included. I regularly seem to save between $15-20 weekly with this form of couponing. I also accumulate points to put toward discounted gas at their station. I save between 10-20 cents a gallon each time I fill up. Definitely worth it.
