But, there's always enough coupons to justify the price of the newspaper. I think most people are just too lazy. =) My family made it a regular habit though, so I kind of consider not using a coupon to be wasting money, and get sad when they expire and I haven't used them - it's like I went and threw out a $5 bill or something.

If you buy generics or store brand products you'll probably save just as much as you would buying the name brand with the coupon. So for cutting the coupon, I get a name? Great, but I'll pass except in those rare cases the product doesn't have a generic version. The problem is the coupons are only on name-brand products.
