Used to save with coupons, but have pretty much given up on them.I buy a lot of produce & food needing to be cooked.Will use a coupon for cereal, but not when you need to buy a bunch to qualify.
I cook most every day & seldom see coupons on basic foods or produce.The buy one/get one free meat is a good buy....without coupons.I like to use the grocery as a stock up center.Seldom buy one of things like salt,pepper,vinegar etc.
Other things are only bought on sale,such as salad dressings,pasta.Shopping to save money does more for my food budget than coupons.

I envy the folks who can use coupons, but not much of what I buy qualifies. Is anyone else in the same boat? If you use coupons -- which ones are most useful to you?
