I've clipped coupons before, but I've never made it a habit or been obsessive about it. I have a cousin who has recently started couponing and feels the need to update Facebook status about it more often than necessary. I hope to not become that kind of person however I do tend to become obsessive with new things!
I'm going to give it a shot because I feel like I do a lot of other things to save money and I don't really know what else to do. I typically buy generic foods and sometimes shop at the United Grocery Outlet store in town, which is why we had Halloween shaped mac & cheese with Easter dinner today. Let's face it, the shaped macaroni tastes way better than the noodle-y macaroni and when it's 50 cents compared to $1.25 you don't care if you're eating bats and pumpkins! If you don't know if you have a UGO near you check here: http://www.myugo.com/ to see the one nearest you.
One of my issues is not knowing where to get these magical coupons. I recently subscribed to All You magazine which contains about $70 worth of coupons per issue. A lady at work was selling subscriptions for her sons school and instead of spending $3/issue I decided to subscribe for 10 issues for $10. Of course I can't use all of the coupons in there but hopefully it will be worth it.
I suppose the best way to find anything out is to go look, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Yes, I've actually introduced Sunny to Aldi and I think we're both in love. We both hated it when we were younger (before we met), then when I started college in Chicago (and had to start cooking and buying groceries for myself) I began to frequent Aldi for a few things, then a few more things, until finally I had no need to go to the supermarket anymore.
Aldi seems to have cheap block cheese all year round, which is a fairly big deal since we go through a lot of cheese; I think Sunny told you she's a bit picky with food. Anyway, we've started buying only mozzarella since it is the healthiest and cheapest cheese we can find.

Try Aldi as well!!!!! Seriously.... check it out cause it's similar to UGO but better quality and more variety..... or at least more stable variety....
