To clip or not to clip?

For many American, Sunday mornings mean a cup of coffee, a pair of scissors and a stack of coupon circulars; and I was one of them. For a while, I even subscribe to Sunday's newspaper and it had been my routine for quite sometimes. And for those who choose not to clip, there's a nagging, guilty feeling that you are throwing away cash or passed up the chance of saving money; and I have been feeling it since I stopped my subscription. It sudden dawn on me when one of my friends ask me this question...to clip or not to clip?

No doubt about it, with coupons, people may buy products they wouldn't normally buy. In this case the manufacturers use it as a marketing device to sell or promote products. It also cause you to go out of your way, just to save a few bucks. Of course, coupons are useful when they save you money on what you are already planning to buy or really need. So what the conclusion? Its really depend entirely on you...as for me, I still try to collect coupons that are available through the mail or those found in the store.
