OK, remember this is a debate board, and I am going to play devil's advocate here, so please let's play nice.

"I am very organized, and I do like to save money...but I wouldn't say that I cut corners, lol."
I didn't mean "cut corners" that you would not be getting quality in what you buy though.
"It's not that I don't have the time, it's that my time is more valuable than the savings I get from cliping coupons, and/or driving around town to hit the sales."
There are so many things that I could cut out in my day and still have valuable time to save money (like being online-lol!), IMO and I don't drive around town to "hit" any sales. If I am going in the area of Target or Walmart, then I will go there but otherwise I only shop at 2 places.
"With the little ones around (with interuptions and all) it would take me a half an hour or so...at least. And, 30 minutes with the little ones can seem like an eternity. It can mean the difference in the baby napping or not, eating on time....making it through a shopping trip w/out a major melt down......"
I guess. I have been cutting coupons for over 15 years for my family and have had many interruptions but I never felt like it was taking too much of my day.
Again, I do believe it all depends on your preference and flexibility to brands.

Yes, if one has no strong brand preferences, one can almost always save more money by simply buying a cheaper brand than with an expensive brand + coupon.
An I totally agree with whoever said where the heck are all the coupons for things I ACTUALLY buy, like bread and milk? I don't care that there is $2 off a box of Tostinos Pizza Rolls or $1 off of Pillsbury cookie dough - I don't need pizza rolls and cookie dough, I need bread and milk! (ETA: this is a general rant, not directed toward you, RLGL)

Yep...we buy a lot of fresh produce, bread, milk, and meat.
