Thank you for taking the time to find out and then tell us! I started couponing seriously about three months ago, and it has made such a difference in our budget. Right now money is really tight so my husband and I started a two week "spending freeze". We're not even feeling a pinch in our food, because I have the pantry and freezer so well stocked!! :) I’m glad to hear this. Thank you for taking the time to find out and then tell us!

Sweet. Now I'm not the nut job mom anymore. I was just wondering if the FSI redemption rate had finally climbed above it’s historical 3%. Sweet. Now I’m not the nut job mom anymore.

My husband had just lost his job and was struggling to figure out how we were going to make it. Thankfullly I started to cut coupons and it led to a revolution in my budget. This then led me to look for deals everywhere I go. I began shopping for items that were only on sale at the supermarket, and even on clearance at clothes stores. Now that my husband has a new and better job, I still continue to do coupons and sales and it is going to help us to save some money, something we haven't sine in years. Even the frugal family fun ideas I have used in my own life. Thank you Alyssa and all the othe bloggers, you have really helped to change my perspective on my shopping habits.

I am posting a link to this article on my site. I, too, have been worried about the effect of the recession on coupons, so it is so nice to hear that coupons aren't going anywhere anytime soon (except to the cashiers at my local stores!).

While I don't have the national coupon big picture .... We've noticed that local businesses that put relevant / appealing coupons in their local newspaper ads are getting a good response.

I tried to share the excitement with her, but she is a teenager so I guess it's a lost cause LOL.

I don't see a stigma at all attached to coupons - I see it as the smart thing to do - in any economic climate :) I am also relatively new to couponing – I started a while back, but it is really only now that I’m getting my head around it and learning how to make it work properly.
