I don't go overboard with it. I used to coupon a lot more than I do now. I just had to cut back to have more "me" and family time. Couponing really does help stretch the budget. I think for many (myself included) it is the thrill of the hunt, but, it can easily take over a lot of your life. Some of the things I read on other boards from other couponers....WOW....I don't know how they do anything BUT coupon???

I am actually thinking of trying an "experiment" of sorts......seeing if I can go w/out a lot of coupons, and only spend about $75 a week on groceries. Summer is coming fast, and I like to hang out in the pool with the kids, and go places and do things.

I have been getting lots of things at CVS and Walgreens for "free" basically with their deals, so, that is a good thing, too.
