Any of y'all into couponing?

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

I realized that I've been losing and takin' serious L's when I shop. I'm single, 21 and never really used to do my own shopping before college. I figure out my budget, and I just go in knowing what I want and I'm out. Simple

On Saturday, I'm at the grocery store and I had a female friend wit me. We're in the store and I'm calculating my bill in my head and I up to about $74. I'm figuring, not bad at all, considering I'm usually at about $88 every two weeks for food

She looks over at me like , "What the hell is your problem?", and I'm confused. She tells me to hold up before we get to the checkout line, pulls out her tablet and introduced me to the world of couponing

We got my sh!t down to $53.78 without a sweat and I had more sh!t than I usually get. I know coupons ain't new, but like I said, I'm a simple guy. I figure out what I want to spend and I'm out. I come home and visit all the couponing websites and look at the Youtube videos AND I see that TLC had a show dedicated this sh!t

I feel like I've been gettin' robbed, and I know I'm not alone......or at least I hope not

my girl does all the couponing and grocery shoppin.. but yea that shyts crazy. there was some people on the show that bought a shytload of groceries, and when they got rung up, the store owed THEM money somehow

having $100.00+ of food, and only having to pay like 10.00
when they double coupons
being apart of the Albertsons club and getting extra discounts
But having to cut them and find ones that are useful

I'll make the time. When I'm smoking, all I do is zone and listen to music, why not add cuttin' coupons to the ritual?

My brother and sister in law are friends w/ an extreme couponer and it's a weird situation. Their house almost looks like a grocery store because of the volume that she cops to qualify for these crazy discounts. Apparently people go on Ebay and buy/sell coupons, Florida for whatever reason has the best coupons.

I just shop based on the grocery store weekly ads. Safeway usually has the best deals, I'll save on average $40 a week, and spend about $60 to $70 net.
