What’s the most you’ve ever saved with coupons?

A friend of mine recently asked me that. You see, I bug him every week for the Sunday paper his place of employment gets. Or more specifically, the circulars, special flyers and coupon pamphlets that are in the Sunday paper. I then turn and use those coupons for my own shopping trips, and pass on the coupons that I don’t want or need to my mom.

It’s hard to answer the question though, because I’ve been able to use coupon codes for so many different purchases! With Pacific Sunwear coupons, for example, I was able to knock a $50 order down to just $12 + shipping. On another occasion a randomly found Old Navy discount code took a quick $10 off a $30 order.

Then there’s the grocery shopping I do every other week. I generally spend $100 – $150 on a biweekly basis, and I use coupons to save anywhere from $5 to $10. That’s not a very large savings, but it’s enough that it’ll add up over a year’s time!
