As far as grocery coupons, I don't use them much anymore. I found I was actually spending more money with coupons that I did without because I was buying things that I wouldn't necessarily buy without the coupon. Although the item was inexpesnive, we didn't really 'need' it. We also changed our eating habits, and most of the stuff we eat doesn't usually have a coupon.

I still look for coupons for things we use and will trade for them if necessary, but as far as buying the newspaper every week and organizing the coupons, no I don't do it anymore.

I do use restaurant coupons quite a bit and also store coupons for items other than food (Michaels 40% off, BB&B/Linens & Things 20% off, etc.).
