Do you use coupons?

I recently found a great coupon site while I was bored and it started me using online coupons. I had never used coupons before but now I'm using them for everything! It's nice because I can already see the money that I'm saving while shopping with my family. But I'm just wondering how many people use coupons. Do you use coupons on a regular basis? Why or why not? How much have you saved?
:rotfl:.....I like free coupons! What else is there... especially macys coupons!

    coupon hunting is another side affect of this site that i suffer from lol

    to think that i used to throw away newspapers and mags with coupons in them (shocking!)

    i save about a tenner a week using coupons so its well worth it

    Hmm, it's a trick question for me. I use coupons if I would be buying the item (or similar) anyway - but if the coupon is for something I don't want to purchase, well, then I don't. :D For example, I usually buy value mature cheddar, but if I had a coupon for a more upmarket variety I would use it. But I would never buy a ready meal, so a coupon for something like that would go to the bin.

    Also, I'm not aware of any online coupon sites for the UK (I found a couple with US coupons ages ago), but it's a moot point as I don't have a printer. (Got rid of it on Freecycle as was hardly using it).
