| I had to choose 'other' as I NEVER see coupons here! I buy generic/store brand on probably 40-50% of my groceries, unless the quality/taste is poor. I also stock up when I see specials on what I'd normally buy. I suppose my new discount helps to replace 'no coupons'!

| Skin, you guys don't have coupons??? I find that odd! I used to send my sister coupons when she lived in Japan and England.

| I chose occasionally because I almost always buy the store brands. Of course I will use coupons though when the items are on sale & I don't need to buy three or more of the item just to use the coupon~  ~I hate that!!!  I WILL use a coupon if it's to buy two or more of a particular item....but only if it's on sale or it's a product I ALWAYS buy(need)...like a staple of my pantry. |

| I use regular coupons occasionally but have found that some of those register coupons you get with your receipt can be good values especially when combined with a sales items.....my favorite grocery also has a good mark down section on slightly banged up items...

| I never use coupons - we dont get a paper, and I dont go to the "normal" grocery store enough to make use of the coupons.
I found a site that sends me coupons for my area online, but when I printed them up, the grocery store would not accept them. :-( So I gave up on coupons.

| We get discount offers on the back of some shopping receipts for car window tinting, carpet cleaning, meal discount on a 2nd meal at participating restaurants...etc....but NOTHING for groceries! At least I've never come across any.

| | I had to choose other because as much as I would like to use coupons, most of them aren't a good deal anymore. You have to buy 2 or 3 of something to save 25 cents. It's just my DH and me so buying multiple of stuff doesn't work all the time. Not to mention that my kitchen could fit in a doll house so I don't have a lot of storage. |

| Sometimes we get coupons in the mail and our grocery store sends them out every once in awhile. I love using them when I can, but quite often name brand products are still too expensive for us even with a coupon.
