Do You or Your Wife Clip Coupons

That's cool, wish my store did that!


You're right, sometimes even with a coupon, going with the brand names still won't save you money.

Kroger and Publix are some great grocery stores wish they were up this way.

"Honey, why is the supermarket charging $13.99 for a 1/2 gallon of milk?"

Thats the person I always get behind when all I want is to pay for a 12 pack. I bet she then paid form them by check.

Coupons? I thought this was a football website? We are talking about coupons?

my wife just started doing this...she is a stay at home mom so she now has the time...there is this great website that tells you how to do this...I even found it kinda fascinating

Learn to Coupon: The System :: Southern Savers

anyway, this website does all the work for you...they tell you what to buy, when to buy, where to buy and with what coupons. You are supposed to save the coupon and buy the item when its on sale, or the coupon is doubled...so this website figures that part out..."use the coupon from the Jan 3rd paper and buy hot dogs on Bloom on Tuesday cause they will double their coupons that day...stuff like that....so you don't have to spend hours perusing the weekly sales.

When I joind this site I said the same thing. This is the parking lot where we talk about everything.

It's crazy going to forums dedicated to this. You get people talking about their garbage and recycling bin coupon finds.

Men clipping coupons doesn't sound right...it's a violation of a man rule. Online coupons are permissible. I prefer fatwallet.com and retailmenot.com for great deals online.

Once I am married I expect my wife to do some clipping...saving me money is an implied benefit to getting married isn't it?

Dude you really have no clue about getting married. Your money just becomes her money to spend while her money is still her money. LOL

So you use digital discounts but none printed on paper? Makes perfect sense.

Wow I am agreeing with Buster. S1 has had quiet a few head scratching comments when it comes to wives.

I know for a fact she's going to save me some money. Cooking for me alone is going to save me $200 a week on eating out.

There's a reason why single men between the ages of 18 to 34 are prime targeted consumers folks.

Your right you will probably be saving around $200 or more a week when you get married. Heck you can save the money and retire 10 years early.

I do the grocery shopping because I'm the finance guy in the family (is also my career). When my wife shops, I lose hair when I check the receipt. She shops...like a woman.

FD's wife is an exceptional wife. Of course, maybe FD doesn't know that she's clipping food coupons to expand her shoe budget. When he's out on the water, she's in the mall.



Do you know for sure she CAN cook? Just warning ya, even in the BEST of relationships (which I have), things are always different after marriage. Most people no longer put in the same level of effort to impress after the wedding as they do in the "trying to get married" process.
