[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 429398, member: 84"] Shari It is[B] hard[/B] work, at least for me. It doesn't help that I had no way to organize the coupons at first so kept them in sandwich bags. So now that I have organizing materials, I'm playing catch up getting them placed into the binder. I'm planning on having them all in there today. husband has been helping me separate them into categories, which makes it easier to pull them for the ads. Sunday I spent about 12 hrs on it, cutting out this weeks coupons, organizing, making the plan for the shopping trips to each store and pulling coupons for them (which stinks when all your coupons are not organized) Then I check online to see if there are any deals that aren't in their ads.......those coupons need to be added. There is also hours of coupon printing online, although now that I've caught up that doesn't take very long. So, all together? I think I'm spending about 30 hrs per wk on it.......but my coupons aren't all organized yet, so once they are that may cut down a lot. Once I have that done, when I clip the ones I don't pull for that weeks sales are going immediately into the binder. I hope that will be faster. But when I can do like I did last night? I spent 35.00 between kroger and walmart. (half of the kroger bill was meat) Walgreen's was free. in my opinion it's worth that 30 hrs per wk if that's what I have to put into it. Last night I walked away with a 98 percent savings for all 3 stores. A rare thing. Averages are 50-90 percent (depending on what you're buying) I got lucky, things I needed but didn't have coupons for were mostly also on good sales. We're also lucky our stores are clumped together.
