Couponing??
#44
I use coupons (when I remember them) but I have found that there just aren't very many good coupons out there anymore. Used to see lots of $1.00 off one item coupons. Now if there are any it's on two or three items. Plus the stores have stopped doubling coupons around here so it's just not worth a lot of effort.

I did couponing until I realized I was spending way too much time on saving for food that is not healthy. Instead, I shop the sales. I do use coupons, but save a lot more sticking with buying only when stuff like meat is on sale.

I save alot and have a great stock pile! Its worth it once you get the hang of stacking and rebates and such. I love target it has great coupons to stack!

There are rarely coupons for things that I use. And it takes too much time (away from the important things like quilting or my family) to save any significant amount of money, therefore, I do not coupon.

I mostly use only coupons for those brands that I normally use. I do all of my shopping at Walmart and I love that they honor "specials" from other grocery stores! And then I buy my meats at a store that sells hormone-free, grass fed beef as well as my vegetables.
