We coupon a LOT and while we'll never match their deals (no double couponing at any store near us). We plan our shopping trip before we get to the store.
Using the store card plus print coupons and a couple clipped from the Sunday paper (we also have a friend who does paper deliveries and gives us spare papers late Sunday nights after the stores stop selling them and start stocking the Monday paper). The good deals have dropped since Extreme Couponing but we still save on average 35-40%.
It take my fiance approximately 2 hours of work to get everything clipped, printed, organized, etc. We plan the list together and knowing that we save on average $40 per shopping trip, it;s 2 hours well spent. $20 an hour is nothing to sneeze at.
Those of you who make so much money that $40 is nothing, go ahead and paypal me $40 every week... ;)
I'll use the $160 per month to buy about $210+ worth of groceries.
