Mr. Kroger and his company get most of my grocery business and keep good
records of my purchases based on their discount card. Consequently I
generally get a book of coupons that are targeted to my ordinary
purchases every month or so. Current crop of coupons had twelve that I
could actually use.

The trick is to get items on the weekly sales paper that you can use a
coupon on for multiple savings. I only buy items we will actually use
and eat so some coupons are worthless to us.
