When my dh was out of work due to health reasons, I was an avid coupon user. It took a great deal of time, but I considered it a part-time job, because at the time I couldn't work outside the home. Then for many years I stopped because of many reasons, such as the ones above (we ate healthy, stores stopped doubling after 75 cents, and it took so much time). Well the economy is tight again and I have begun couponing, just slightly different. I'm not purchasing items I would not normally. But pet foods, toothpaste, cereal, etc. are great, BBB, victoria secret, ac moore, etc., so I have a binder that I just organized everything into.
