About the only coupons I ever cut are for Tabasco and a certain brand of t.t. I'm gonna buy this stuff anyway, so that's my rule of dumb on clipping coupons.

Other than for cat stuff I have rarely seen a coupon for a product I
use. I don't bother looking for coupons, for cat products I print
from their web sites, and many I get by snail mail by registering at
their web site, I get free samples too. For many foods, like frozen
pizza, the best coupons can be printed from their web sites. With
many of the national brand foods if you phone their toll free number
and compliment their product they will send you coupons for free
products... I've gotten enough coupons for free Hellman's mayo to last
the rest of my life, and they keep coming... and all I did was call to
complain about their inner lid seal being difficult to remove.
