My mother and grandmother have always used coupons so I grew up spending my Sundays clipping coupons. However, I've recently started getting into "extreme" couponing and I'm curious to see how you guys feel about coupons.
                    
                    
                    Do you use coupons?

                        We usually use coupons at restaurants, but it would be nice to get into using them more when shopping.

                        I use the coupons I have clipped--when I remember. I would still be a casual user, but after watching an extreme coupon show--I really want to learn more about how it works and try it out. I would have to train myself to remember to bring and use the coupons though!!!

                        I always use coupons, but I'm not an extreme coupon user. I use coupons I get with papers & mailers that come to my house, I find at stores, in magazines, websites & I do Groupon, too. Unfortunately, I find that much of what I buy is not stuff you can get coupons for, so that is a problem!

                        Not nearly enough. My mom is a coupon queen and gets everything so cheap. She has a lil organized binder thing she brings with her. I don't have the time or energy to spend 3 hours in a grocery store. And however else long it takes to buy newspapers and clip them and organize. It saves you money but it costs a lot of time.

                        I use them as often as I can

                        Ibalways have good intentions when clipping and going online to get coupons but I almost never remeber to grab them when I leave for the store

                        We use coupons when we see them if it's for something we need.  Rarely do I go out of my way to see if I can find a coupon for something I need, and usually it's on more expensive items; diapers, laundry soap, etc.

                        I use them, however, often I either forget them or they are not for things I want to buy.

                        When I think of it I do, I usually keep them in my purse but always find when I'm at the store to use them that I don't have them because I cleaned my purse the night before thinking I would never use them.

                        I clip Sunday coupons and will use them - if I remember to check the sales ads before I go grocery shopping.

                        we do the "extreme" coupon thing once a year or so to stock up then coast through our stockpile

                        I never use them because, in terms of grocery coupons, they are always for items that are usually (to me) very unhealthy items. [IE: canned foods, heavily salted, highly processed etc.] I've seen the show about extreme couponing and it's always people buying things that aren't fresh and can be stored for a long period of time. Ew, no thanks.

                        when I get them in the mail I might, but mostly it's not something we usual buy so we don't bother.

                        same here, when I watch that show I am like "wow I need to learn to do that" I will cut coupons put them in an envelope and only remember them when I am at the register. None of my family or friends are into couponing.
