[poundwise]

Oh believe me, I do that as well. I get most, in terms of quanity, of my coupons in the mail and print some online, however, there are advantages to getting the specific coupons you want and in the quanity you want.

For instance, my wife's hair products, shampoo and conditioner, were recently featured in a sale at a local retailer. We definitely saw it as an opportunity to stock up a little. Well, besides the sale price, I also had six $1 off coupons (from the service I referred to above) and so we bought 3 bottles of shampoo and 3 of conditioner. The net result is that we got 6 bottles of product for less than what we normally would pay for 3.

Coupon exchanges are great too. Individuals swapping coupons for free (or, at most, postage), however, again, it is hard to always be able to obtain coupons for products you want and in the best values, etc.

There are many tools at our disposal. I am open to using whatever has a net result of savings.
