I have done the coupon thing, but I have found that I actually spend MORE money with the coupons. Just because if I have one, I may buy a product I wouldn't necessarily buy, just because I had a coupon. Sort of like when we buy fabric because it's on sale and not because we need it. I do use a few coupons if they are for products I will really use, but I don't make a reality TV show obsession out of it.
