Lets not paint everyone with the same broad brush please. First off not everyone lives near a store. If someone is working 40 hours a week, and has to drive an hour to a store, or has special needs family members, and other situations one may not have time to clip coupons. And some communities don’t even have newspaper delivery any more. Or the time to track down coupons they can actually use. Like if a child has gluten issues, type 1 diabetes etc. Not everyone wants to eat processed foods, frozen foods, junk food. Finding coupons for organic, fresh food items is almost non existent. So congratulations to everyone who has access to great coupons you can use and a grocery store close enough to shop at.

Alright people…I understand the last comment was a few months ago, but I have to put my two cents in. My husband and I are both in the US Army. You want to talk about long hours? We do them. 80+ hours a week. We also have two kids, two car notes, etc etc. And I still manage to coupon easily. In fact, this past Friday at Safeway here in Hawaii, I can show you a picture of my receipt. We saved $119.00 by being a store member and using store and manufacturer coupons. Not having enough time is a GREAT excuse… but who are you telling? If we can do what we do AND do this to save our family money… you have no excuse.

that’s great and all… but shouldn’t you count how much money you waste in gas by driving around everywhere looking for these deals? Also, what about the time you are putting into this.

Good job Jeff..all you nay’sayers-stop over analyzing. This man is just trying to help people who are struggling along. I work, hubby works, family is struggling still. Have you gone grocery shopping lately all you complainers? Trying it, then tell Jeff this is rediculous. It’s not-especially if you take 10% of what you save and pass it on to the next person who is struggling. Just listen for once instead of trying to grand-stand a good thing…ugh!

Wow, I can’t believe the haters on this couponing site. Why would you be angry somebody is trying to save money on their food? I have four children and my husband makes a 6 figure salary but I still try to save on my food budget because then I have more to spend on other things like health insurance. Thank you for this site, I have enjoyed learning all I can to make my shopping easier. BTW, people, if you are going to rant, PLEASE do so with correct spelling, it justs reinforces how ignorant you REALLY are! :p

This is interesting! Thanks for sharing. Way up there was a post from someone saying they got a three figure and hour salary. I was curious why if they were making that kind of money they even bother to use coupons and sales anyhow? That’s they whole purpose of this blog and using coupons is to save money and cut our budgets. If I had a salary like that, I wouldn’t be so concerned and could actually afford the more expensive, healthier items such a organic fresh fruit and veggies and all the other healthier items.

This is SUPER, Jeffrey! How did you know the initial Scrubbing Bubbles purchase would get you the Catalina coupons? And, to be clear, they can be applied to any purchase? They have these machines at my store, but I don’t know how to predict when coupons will come out & have never gotten a generic one, just ones for a specific product. Can you reveal your secret??
Sorry about that Mike/Matt guy – if only you’d had some Ghirardelli chocolate to help you cope
