[quote=Anonymous]Like some of the PPs, I gave couponing a whirl and found it to be a waste of time and, actually, money. Finding and organizing coupons takes time. Then, you have to be sure you are only buying things you would be buying anyway -- I was never very good at this. I would see a coupon and think, oh, we could use that. Then, there's the fact that most coupons for food are for processed foods that we don't eat anyway, and that most of the coupons for household items like cleaning products are for name brands that I don't use anyway or can buy cheaper from Amazon using subscribe & save. Add all that together and I was barely saving more than the $2 it took to buy the damn Post to begin with. I buy household items at Costco or sometimes Target and groceries at Costco and Wegmans. I don't normally shop at Harris Teeter because their prices on many items are so inflated that even with a double coupon I often wasn't getting a much better deal than I would be at Wegmans or Target. You can get some good deals if you combine sales and coupons, but who has the time to do all the research and coupon juggling that that requires? I came away from it thinking it's kind of a racket.
