I sometimes save coupons from the paper, but rarely seem to use them. I buy little in the way of processed foods, and fresh fruit and meat generally don't have coupons. I do use them for cat food, some health and beauty type of products - if I remember them...... I'm just not good with little slips of paper!!!!

I use coupons when I can. I don't find that coupons are "mostly for processed foods" at all; I use coupons for cheese, coffee, household goods, etc.

Not worth it where I live. We dont have double, triple coupons, and I dont pick up the paper often enough. The only time I use them is if I find a coupon I can use at the store. The store I go to not only puts manufactures coupons at the door when you walk in but they are on the shelves with the item too. So I only use them we I find them with an item I am already buying. There was a story in the local newspaper about someone that was couponing, but hers was mainly baby care items and my kids are way past that age. Most coupons I find are processed items ayways, I dont buy canned or even frozen veggies as I have a garden that provides most of my veggies, the rest I purchase in summer and freeze myself. I buy my meat in bulk, I do buy some frozen dinner items for Friday dinners but never see coupons for them.

We don't have double or triple either. I can almost always get any frozen veggies I need at Aldi for less than national brands with coupons, and the quality is just fine. Coupons are rarely available for the foods I buy.

Sometimes. In the past I've been able to save big with coupons, but it just seems in my area it's not really worth it. I tend to just stick to shopping at Aldi's & Sam's Club.
