I have been couponing for years but never to extreme like on tv. The most I saved on one shopping trip to the grocery store with coupons was $117.32. My total was over $300 without the coupons. Would like to know how they do it but am not willing to spend 30+ hours a week to work at it. I do try to stay away from pre-processed and buy only what I like to use. I do take the flyers and compare prices and see which coupons I have to use on the products we use. I don't buy just to use a coupon. It has to be what I need or which brand or product I like. I have found that Bi-lo is the best store for bargains especially at the gas pump! I saved $.55 a gallon last month on gas. What you pick up weekly, like milk, fresh veggies, eggs, etc., does also add up for your gas savings.
