Do you use coupons?

Well, do you?

I don't.

To be honest, I'd rather pay full price than use a coupon at a restaurant (sit-down OR fast food).
I'm not opposed to coupon-usage at a grocery, but I never have any coupons with me to use.

That said, I love coupon users, so I'm not judging. My wife uses coupons, and I married her.

Nope.

I worked behind a register at a local grocery store and I developed a hatred towards them. Too many 'cut outs' and customers freaking out over $0.10 for me to stand behind 'em.

a-hahahah

coupons are AWESOME if you only use like 4 or 5. if you use more than that, you aren't eating out enough. (PS: I used to work at Scott's.)

My wife clips coupons, and takes advantage of "ad match" policies, and saves us approximately $100 every time she goes to the grocery store - we usually shop once a month. We use them at restaurants (but tip on the actual bill amount) too.

Always a key. I can't believe it when cats with coupons or gift certificates end up tipping the amount of money they paid rather than the total dollar amount of the bill in question. The way I look at it, when I have a coupon or somesuch whatnot, it means more money for the tip.

The reason I posted this --- I got a coupon mailer in my mailbox yesterday and it had coupons for Dunk'n Donuts new Smoothies.

FREE small or $1 off a medium.

And it made me question my "no coupon" rule.

And nice work on the tipping tip, boys, you're absolutely right.

Coupons!

Too many 'cut outs' and customers freaking out over $0.10 for me to stand behind 'em.

Which is why I rarely use them in a grocery store.
Save the hassle,.. go to an Aldi's/Save A Lot/others...

Usually for restaurants/fast food/pizza's etc. is where
I most use them.

Always a sucker for a 2 for 1 deal though.

I use coupons because I'm not as rich as you people.

I, too, worked at Scott's and was lucky enough to be promoted to "the cage" where I didn't have to deal with the coupon hags.
