Do you clip and use coupons?

Always, Only for high items, like restaurants, car washes,

Almost never.

Responses, please!

I always clip coupons for things that I use, every little bit helps..  I use to look forward to receiving our Sunday paper that had plenty of coupons to go through and clip, now you're lucky to get any, they seemed to have cut back on these too.

Back in the days of double and triple grocery coupons I belonged to a couponing club. We met once a month to trade coupons. You know back when people weren't paranoid to meet.

Now, I use % off coupon codes online but I don't use perks, points or anything like digital grocery coupons.

I cut coupons for things I use.  They don't have long expiration dates these days and usually expire before I get to use them but when I run out of something, or if there's a good sale on something I use anyway, then I'll use them but I don't get caught up on using them just because I have them.  I don't usually have more than 10 or 15 in an envelope at a time.  Also, before I go shopping I look on line to see if there are any coupons for things on my list.

As for things other than groceries, it's the same thing.  I save coupons for things I usually buy but don't buy just because I have them. I use them if I'm buying that thing anyway, not because I have a coupon burning a hole in my pocket.

I also don't like to use digital coupons because I usually forgot what I added, or forgot to add, so I don't bother.

Never. The choices of food I purchase never have coupons OR they are attatched to foods I don't use/choose.

I don't. They're annoying and I never remember to use them. I'll go through my Target app and click the digital  coupons for things I use but other than that no.  I don't clip coupons.

I used to be a big coupon user. But now, the coupons have very short expiration dates and most are for things I don't use.
I use apps for discounts on that products I buy.

No longer get the Sunday paper so no, do not use coupons.  The coupons they offer were usually for things I had no interest in.  Once in awhile there would be a decent one for $2 or $4 dollars off but that did not justify the cost of $21.00 a month for Sunday paper.

No, not any more.  Our local newspaper has gotten unreadable - no content at all and the delivery was very spotty.

I used to cut and use coupons all the time, but found that I used them less and less, because a lot of them required that you buy two or three of something to get .50 or .75 off.  Then the expiration dates of the coupons kept getting shorter and shorter, so I stopped using them. I do however use digital coupons to my local Frys and Safeway.
