We've started seriously using coupons due to necessity, in the last year. And it's amazing what you can save. We do everything within the law and rules. Last week for example, I was able to get 4 tubes of Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste for $0.50. It's also allowed us to make some great donations to the local animal shelter.
The meds for my basset hound with cancer are over $400 a month, not counting vet bills, cardiology appointments, etc. Using coupons has allowed us to be able to get him the open heart surgery he needed, the chemo, and now treat the heart disease that was caused by the chemo. It's been a life saver!
