My wife and I have recently started using coupons with our grocery shopping. I'm definitely more into it than she is. It was originally her idea, but I think I'm the one that has taken off with it. We are using the Sunday paper in conjunction with online coupons. Since we have started, a typical grocery bill see at least 30% savings off of the total bill. That 30% is a combination of coupons and sale items. My favorite thing is when we get an item for free. Today I got a free pack of Orbit gum from Walgreen's after the coupons.
We haven't had as much luck with restaurants. I'm convinced some restaurants just plain don't do coupons. For the big chains, this is just sad. They get loads of business and should do some things to give back to their customers. Oh well.
For anyone looking for a good place to start finding online coupons, check on http://www.couponmom.com. They have plenty of links to printable coupons as well as other tips to help save money.
