When asked about if clipping coupons really does save money, I always tell my honest opinions of my own experiences…yes, several thousand dollars each and every year! I do understand that I am an experienced coupon shopper, and couponing is not right for everybody.

Not surprisingly, becoming a good coupon shopper is really a learned skill. You have to want to learn in order to be willing to take the time to become a super shopper. Even if you do not enjoy coupon shopping, you need to be willing to have the patience to practice and hone your skills for several months to get past mediocre results.

Using coupons is not difficult, but the process can be both fussy and time consuming. Again, you have to want to take the time to do it or sadly, you will not ever hone your skills enough to save like the super shoppers.

I happen to get a perverse pleasure out of getting a good deal, do you?

Let me fill you in on the particulars. Most of my family happens to love going on treasure hunts to get something for free or next to nothing. What do you think, do you feel similarly? If you do not, you can modify heavy couponing to selective couponing and still save a ton of cash every month for your efforts.

If you happen to love getting free groceries, then you should try using lots of multiple coupons, ecoupons, and free printable coupons. Have fun and save a lot!

If you do not like to grocery shop at all and hate coupons, why not try an easier selective couponing strategy and use a coupon clipping service or electronic coupons? You can save a lot of frustration, hassles and time buy using a more selective model and still save quite a bit of money.

If your would rather go to the dentist than grocery shop at all, and would rather die than use a coupon, then be sure to buy enough to get you through a couple of weeks at a time and buy what is on sale.

There are lots of ways to cut your grocery bills down to size. For me the question of if coupons are money savers or time wasters is irrelevant. I use coupons, tons of them and shop well with them. I save thousands of dollars a year for my efforts. On the other hand, someone who does not have good knowledge of how to use coupons correctly and hates to shop would more than likely tell you the exact opposite.
