Lately the stores here have a bin when you first walk in for people to put the coupons they don't want. It might take a few minutes, but it is well worth it to take a look through there and see what you can get a deal on. I usually get the ones out of the Sunday paper and use them at a store that gives double value up to $.49, and sometimes come away from the checkout having saved $15 or so. I kind of got away from coupons in the last several years, but I'm back now with a vengeance! LOL
