[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427225, member: 1233"] Be sure to check ebay for coupons. I have often got ones I will really USE that are either high dollar or can be doubled and gotten about $25-$50 worth for $3 to $5 shipped. Even counting that in it imakes for huge savings. I look for auctions that include shipping because otherwise the price can get crazy. Evenf iguring that cost in I can save a bundle. My problem is that we don't use many, many of the items that they make coupons for. But if you see coupons for the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls thingys that are mini (24 to a tube, not really a "roll" but awesome tasting) they are WELL worth the cost. They were $1 at one store and I had a 75 cent coupon so I did the price match at Wallie World (because the other store is a PITA to get to) and we loved them! One strategy if you have kids at home is to split the savings with them. Not do-able if you are super tight on $$, but it teaches very valuable lessons and helps cut your time investment. I used to cut them, circle the expiration date and organize them, then take the grocery list and pull the coupons we would use. At the store I had to figure out if the price after coupon was actually cheaper than the generic price. If it was, I got half of what we saved. I started at about age seven or eight and kept it up through my teens. Only in my teens I mostly just did the shopping myself with-o my mom with me. By then I was great at it. It not only teaches life skills and bargain hunting, it also teaches frugality, what food really costs and amazing math skills. [/QUOTE]
