Chosen Answer:

I used to be an insane coupon clipper, but since I have stopped getting the Sunday paper I clip much less.
My rules were:
Don’t use a coupon that is less than 25 cents off
Don’t use a coupon that makes you buy 2 or 3 of an item to get the discount – unless you use that item a lot like paper towels or toilet paper.
Only use coupons for stuff you already buy or maybe a new item you would like to try.
coupons.com is a good site not just for products but for deal at local restaurants etc.
I saw a lady ahead of me in a store that used coupons so well that she ended up paying only for about 5 worth of food. Most of them came from that website, but she had some from the newspaper and magazines.
