I will disclose that I use coupons. I would not be what some would deem "extreme" - but I average about 50% savings. By using coupons in conjunctions with sales, I get to stretch my grocery dollars further, and from time to time, get to purchase some "treats" that we otherwise wouldn't get. Even when I was blowing off monitoring my funds, I still used my coupons.
This weeks grocery trip, I spent $37.21 and saved $26.07 - or 41%.
I wish I could have hit that 50% mark, but I gave a dollar to the food drive and had to purchase some other things that I did not have coupons for - such as bread, milk and eggs.
My weekly grocery budget is $63. So I am $25.79 under budget for the week! YaY!

I use to coupon alot and was fairly successful at it but the area in north Texas I live in hasn't been all that great lately as far as doubling and tripling. I believe Kroger stopped and Albertsons limits your usage and that makes it somewhat harder. That with the fact the Sunday paper is $2.50. Ick.
