I agree that a lot of the items in the Sunday paper are "junk foods" and other things we don't usually eat. Even so, by scanning the entire paper, we found at least 15 coupons we were likely to use, making the exercise worthwhile. It will probably be different for everyone, but I know that in our case - if we had never tried it, we would not have known if it was worth it. I encourage everyone to at least give it a go for a few weeks. That’s a fantastic idea, and one I haven’t thought of.

I get super motivated and start looking at all the sites and get my Sunday paper, etc...then realize that the majority of coupons are not for things that I eat or buy. Occasionally I will find coupons for foods I eat, but I always get underwhelmed with the whole thing and lose momentum. I have had success emailing the companies of the products that I buy and getting them to mail me coupons. I have not had a ton of luck with coupons.
