If it is a store that I usually shop at, or one I'd like to shop at, and it isn't too far to drive to, I would consider going to that certain store if the coupons were exceptional.

If the items on the coupons are ones I need or want or think would make good Christmas or birthday gifts, I would seriously think about checking the merchandise out at that store.

I know that I only shop at Publix supermarket, and being on just Social Security, I need to shop with their coupons, their sales and "buy one get one free" items, and manufacturer's coupons.

It is possible to really help your budget by being a careful shopper.

Yes provided:
1) The value of the coupon exceeds any additional cost that may be needed for travel to my unusual store.
2) The coupon is for an item I was planning to buy anyway.

Consider that I use this site to buy discount coupons to try new restaurants ^_^

Sure, as long as the store sells things I'd be interested in buying anyway -- if I don't use and/or enjoy what I buy, I wasted money, coupon or no coupon -- and I have the money to afford it even after the coupon. I'm not as concerned about travel costs at the moment, because I walk most places.

The problem with a lot of coupons, and I've lurked on blogs and such about the subject, is that they're for things I'm just not interested in. But then, that's to be expected. There are billions of people in the world. My interests can't intersect with them all.

Most cases, no. Majority of the stores i loove dont offer coupojns, and if they do its a 9 out of 20 chance.

Of course! The economy is at its worst and anything that can help you save any money at all will help. I always have a lot of coupons for stores like Dollar General and Food Lion and whenever I get the opportunity to use them, I do!

Of course, I'll go shopping. Nowadays, practicality should always be practiced. If you have the chance to save money then do it. In times of economic crisis, opportunity in saving money in any way is an important thing.

Just for instance, personally, every time I buy something, I usually look for items which I can have discounts or at least is affordable. Say, if I am to buy new pool accessories for our swimming pool in our house, I usually search the net to look for online shops offering discount. Just like the site where I bought our new chlorine generator, I had it in a very affordable price. Keep in mind that we should always be practical.
