I don't save coupons and would rather pay the price on an item than spend all that time searching for, cutting and printing coupons and the standing at checkout as the clerk works through them with the line behind steaming!

I spent 40 minutes in line one time behind a woman with 4 kids and a handful of coupons, which she searched through item by item while all behind her in line waited and waited one cold, rainy night after work. I'd worked all day, had little sleep the night before, my back was aching and I hadn't eaten in 8 hours but as my basket was full and I needed the groceries, I had to stand there and wait while the process went on endlessly. On top of all that coupon mess, she questioned every other price they rang up and runners had to go check. Maddening experience.

I understand the extreme couponers are extremely efficient and have all their coupons lined up by item sometimes, etc., but it is just not for me. If I get a coupon and stick it in my wallet, I don't see it again until I am cleaning out my wallet after the expiration date!
