I'm happy just to save enough to make back the cost of the paper and maybe a coffee from Starbucks a week. Which is pretty good, because I've gotten mostly free shampoo, and toothpaste. Not huge savings but a $1 here and $1 there, like for ham this week, or shrimp last week was a $1 saved. I also will $1 on cheese this week, I'm willing to eat slightly cheaper cheese than I normally buy.
But I don't try and buy stuff DH won't eat like HH or prepackaged foods. I do buy stuff that we eat, like rice pilaf (25 cents a box), but I normally would not buy. I also use the coupons for frozen veggies which is 50 cents a bag or less, DH doesn't love frozen veggies but he'll eat them.
