I've got to go to Kroger tonight, and I hardly have any coupons I'm excited about using right now.  Is anyone else noticing this?  I may have to break down and buy some from Ebay.  My paper has had SOME coupons lately, but nothing that I've really needed or that has grabbed me.  Am I going to have to pay full price at the grocery store?  I can't bear the thought!

Know of any good sites for printable grocery coupons?  My Kroger accepts them without question.

I know a lot of the coupons I had expired yesterday. The good coupons seem to be scarce these days, and I sure wish our printer would actually work properly.

I never find any good ones to use anyway.
I always buy generic and buying generic is cheaper even when using a coupon on brand name at times.
More and more companies are saving money on printing costs by cutting back on circulation, or only doing internet coupons.
Loving- not true. I often find free groceries with coupons, when using it with a sale price. I find brand names much cheaper than generics.

I never remember to take the coupons to the store with me. Then they expire and sit around on my desk for years. LOL

I look to see what the deals are when buying. Even the buy one get one free can be a good deal if you know your prices and compare them to what is available for sale.

I have bought them from people on ebay, and I go to Mypoints and sometimes they have some good ones.

I've noticed that the coupons are down in the newspapers. So many stores are questioning the internet coupons it's starting to get frustrating. Every so often Kroger sents me a packet of coupons, including ones to get items for free.

My H.E.B. has great meal deals!!! I, usually, take advantage of them, but I have noticed the lack of coupons in the Sunday paper, lately.

MIne all seemed to expire yesterday. Sorry.
we rarely use coupons. there's just never enough to cut out that's worth the trouble of looking.

You can get Pizza crusts as cheap as
.20 each with coupons at Dillons this week. Homemade pizza is great and fun to do with kids.

The stores near me still take printed coupons, but I'm running low on coupons that I use frequently as well. Buying them may be an option, but I would look and see if you can trade them with ones you have first, then there's no cost to you.

I use Mysavings and Mypoints for printable coupons.

I have noticed this... The price of groceries has risen as well as very few coupons.
We will let you know if we see any good websites with good coupons.
I would check the websites of the items that you purchase.

The coupons in the last month have been a little weak in my opinion. I'm not sure if the manufacturers are just putting less out to help trim thier advertising budgets, or if this is a new trend. I hope not, because only about half of the stores I shop at take internet coupons.

We always pay full price - usually on generics because there's no place here that doubles coupons, and without being doubled the items are always more than what we usually buy.

For me, it's always been hit and miss. Some trips I have enough coupons to save 70% off my bill, other times, I only save a few $$ but that's not going to deter me. I've never bought coupons in mass before though...I get a lot of mine from other people. My stepmom, mother-in-law, babysitter and a good friend have been good about giving me ones they know I can use or what they know they won't use.

Hi Tabitha, don't feel bad about not having the coupons that you want. It's a new day, click on my picture and get the ccoupons that you would like to have.
