We save $100 per month on groceries and household items. We only use coupons for items we regularly buy unless it is a full-price coupon, which makes it free.
While we use coupons for all of our shopping, we rarely use online coupons because the newspaper coupons are much more valuable. For example, why use a 25-cent coupon online when the newspaper has a 75-cent coupon for the same item?
Here's my best advice:
1. Invest in 1-2 Sunday newspapers and clip out the coupons.
2. For the coupons you use most often, go to eBay, where you can purchase extras at a very reasonable price. In our household, we focus on high-dollar items like coffee, milk, juice and hard cheeses. We usually pay no more than $1-$3 for 10-20 coupons, including shipping (a first-class stamp and #10 envelopes). The coupons we don’t use are resold to neighbors or co-workers, which recoups our eBay costs.

3. If you go online, here's a couple web sites we do frequent for product news, trials, recipes and, occasionally, a coupon:

Only the petrol ones, but now I know the put the price up of food to compensate for it - it's a loose loose situation

sure but I only use the ones that DON'T force you to buy too much of one thing. It's a marketing ploy. have you ever noticed how the register spits one out for the "other" brand than the one you bought.

No. My time is more valuable than the piddly savings.
I used to, but now they all say things like Save 50 cents when you buy two" or "buy this and get this free"
It's all a scam. You usually have to buy multiple items or something you wouldn't normally buy anyway.

no-- I used to, but too many times as soon as I got my reciept, I remembered I forgot to give them to the cashier. I gave up.

No, I never seem to remember to take them to the store so I just don't bother.

Yes I do.
Now do I actually get them into the store? No I don't.
