Am I the only one who just tosses them in the washer with the rest of the kitchen rags? I just wash them on hot and then dry them in the dryer.

Yeah, you have to make sure you're not using ones that say that, but I don't have much trouble with coupons saying that. Most of the ones I see that say "one coupon per visit" are for restaurants.

I think that's why people have trouble with cashiers taking them. In reality, it's not much more work for them. If anything, it helps. While they're scanning coupons, their sacker can bag the groceries and the cashier is able to just scan paper instead of heaving things over the scanner. If I was running into so many nasty "extreme couponers" that I was being yelled at and intimidated daily, I doubt I'd be very helpful either.

I was in Target the other day and watched a lady FLIP the EFF out over a 25 cent coupon on her make up. It was a month expired. She threw such a tantrum the manager ended up letting her have it. If you need 25 cents THAT bad, don't buy the make up.

Oh, and one more thing, just because you CAN get 100 items for free doesn't mean you SHOULD. What person needs 100 boxes of light bulbs? You have to STORE it all. I refuse to fill more than my "large-ish" kitchen pantry for that reason. If you think about it, you're paying to store all that free stuff. Even if you own your home, you're paying a mortgage and instead of using a room for a spare room or other purpose, it becomes "pantry number 4."

Just a quick "disclaimer" a lot of times the "no duplication" on coupons means, no photocopies. As long as you're purchasing the item on the coupon for EACH coupon, I've never had a problem getting the cashier to take them.

Also, I really have a bad taste in my mouth over the "Spencer’s approach requires significant planning and effort, a willingness to stand up to hostile cashiers,"
statement. I have NEVER had a problem with a cashier not wanting to deal with coupons. In fact, it's the opposite, they're just as excited to see how much I've saved. The only time I have EVER seen someone have a problem with using coupons is if they're trying to use expired ones or not reading the coupon and trying to use it for something it's not issued for.

I am a coupon freak. My record is $75 off one shopping trip. I have NEVER been able to get everything for free. I've been able to get a few items for free, I even have decreased my needed grocery budget by about $100 a month. The closest I've come to "free" was this week the store had a buy one get one sale on toothpaste, and I had 3 coupons for $1 off the same brand. I paid .75 for each tube.

I think people who do this are usually spending so much time and effort and gas going from store to store, that it's not saving them as much as they think it is. Sure, you saved $100 last week, but if you spent 30 hours looking over ads to match up the coupons and a tank of gas running around town to the cheap places, are you really coming out ahead?

Also, a big problem is location. What might be $4 here, might be $1 or $8 somewhere else. It's all about what kind of shops you have. Are there double coupon places where you live? etc...

I spend on average 2 hours every 2 weeks doing my grocery list. I have 2 websites that I rely on heavily plus the Sunday paper.
www.coupons.com and http://www.thecouponclippers.com

between those 2 and my Sunday paper, I do quite well. I clip/order coupons and I try to match them up with sales when possible. I look up my grocery store's ad online, and type out my list (along with which items are coupon items) and shop. I've found that it makes it MUCH easier to use the coupons if I incorporate them into my list if I can. I make sure to look over "extra" coupons that I don't plan to use so that if I find an unadvertised sale for a coupon item, I can pick it up.

If I shopped at the only double coupon store in my area, I'd save more on the coupon, but the cost of everything is so much higher, it's not worth it, so I stick to my "home" store unless I hear of an AMAZING deal that I can use some coupons with. I wish more stores would do double coupons. I remember when I was a kid, it wasn't uncommon to see TRIPLE coupons.

It's a portable rack for all the Spanish Inquisition's inquiring needs.

That is an old camping stool. There is normally canvas or some type of material that goes across the 2 edges. My grandmother used to use hers for fishing.
