Coupons??

I've been using a system from a free online web site to assist me in saving money on groceries and drug store purchases. While I am seeing some success and starting to save between 30 and 60% on those purchases, I have a question.

Following these systems are great but some of the products we use in our home simply do not have coupons or rarely go on sale. Am I being a bad shopper by purchasing some of these items at full price? The majority of what I buy I do use coupons for though.

You're not a bad shopper! Seems like the staples rarely have a coupon. Just make sure you're getting it at the lowest price possible in your area. Keeping a Price Book really helps. 30%-60% savings is great!

Sometimes you have to look at places like Walgreens, CVS, etc because they put items on sale that grocery stores don't. Also, when I do find it on sale, I tend to buy in bulk.
