Life Serious question...are you using more coupons in this economy?

**Nzoner** · 02-09-2009, 12:16 PM

I'm going to be interviewed for tv at 1 because of my business being direct mail advertising and the number of coupons we mail out to residents.

So I'm curious what everyone is doing when it comes to being able to save additional dollars by using coupons.

No, I despise them, I feel like if I use them I will be perceived as a cheapskate. Why that bothers me I have no idea.

Interesting,the majority of my advertisers want people to take advantage of the savings because at least it means you're choosing them.I even have one restaurant that's adding our website to their coupon in March to encourage people to print all the coupons they want.

yes, I am.... but I don't know if it's the economy or the addition to the household...formula, esp the kind she has to be on, is really expensive

I don't get the newspaper and the coupons in the "Value Pack" mailing (or whatever it's called) are always the same and never anything I need/use. So, no, I don't use coupons.

This. Plus most of the food coupons I receive in the mail are dominos, papa johns, pizza hut, arbys, KFC etc. I stay away from that crap.

I recently had a conversation with the manager of one of the local markets, Mr. Nzoner ... Publics. He mentioned that coupon redemption in their store had almost doubled in the last six months.

Thank you for that info Mr Fax

Yes, we've started clipping coupons again. In our earlier years of marriage, we did, then as I started making more money we just kinda stopped. Now, with this ecomomy, we're doing it again. By "we" I mean my wife.

The Wall Street Journal just had an article on internet coupon sites being used alot more as well.

Do you clip from local papers only or do you print off the computer as well?
