I'm with you. I buy basic cooking stuffs, and produce and I've never found coupons to be the end all save all...I'm interested to see what others have to say.
Like most of you I believe a vast majority of coupons are for processed, uneeded items. You if you buy them even at a 'good deal' you don't save money because you didn't need them and wouldn't have bought them in the first place.
Really, I've never seen a coupon for bulk flour.
Personally, if I have to spend three hours looking through coupons for sunny D, the newest 'luch box fad', or sugar cereals to find the one coupon for something I would buy. I'd probably only save .25 cents. That's just not worth my time for me.
So if someone else shops this way and knows how to use coupons. I too am all ears.
