manufacturers coupons

How many shop with them in the grocery stores? I do and I folllow the store
sales. I manage to get stuff cheap. We have double coupons here and it
works out nice. I notice the newspapers have very few in the Sunday papers
lately.

I seldom use them, because I don't often find coupons for products that
I use or am interested in trying.

I rarely use them either. Most of the coupon stuff is processed and filled
with G-d knows what chemicals. Not that I am overly careful, I just find
that "real food" tastes so much better. Fresh fruits and veggies with fresh
fish, chicken and beefs are much more appealing. Plus the prep time from
scratch versus packaged isn't much more if you are doing basic cooking.
BBQing is a fav of ours all year round in themild weather. That being said,
I do look for diaper coupons now! :-)

Until I was diagnosed with high BP,I never realized how much sodium is in
stuff you wouldn't expect.For example,a small serving of Ricearoni has more
than half the sodium you should eat.Got to be careful.

The coupons aren't often for something I use. Because I usually have plenty
of time to grocery shop, I do watch the details though. This morning a bag
of lemons cost heaps more than just sacking them myself. I also noticed
that I could buy 8 oz or 16 oz of vermicelli for the same price. If you're
playing the sodium game, you must be very careful about what they call a
serving. Polly

Hi Pami,
I still shop with coupons, but selectively. If it is a product I use
or want to try without paying full price.
Too bad you aren't here, our Albertson's are closing and the had Boost
for 60% off today. Have you tried Carnation Instant Breakfast? My
Onc. nurse said the content is very similar and price is very
dissimilar. (is that a work?)

I won't go grocery shopping without them and often, if something is not on
sale but I have a coupon, I'll wait until the item *is* on sale, then use
the coupon. That's the whole reason I do the shopping, not my husband. That,
and he comes home with those danged plastic-chocolate covered donuts. Ugh...

I sometimes use coupons. But better for me is usually house brands of
stuff that I use a lot of. I also shop sales, and first Wed. of the
month is senior day at Fry's, 10% off entire purchase in addition to
sales and such. I also do a lot of non perishables or stuff we use a
lot of at CostCo. The cats really like the CostCo cat food too.
