It may be time-consuming to sort through the Sunday coupon section looking for the items that you want, but for some shoppers it is worth every minute.
Another shopper, Pat Miller, is one of many who have started to rely more on coupons.
Miller said, “I buy a lot of cat food and dog food. They save me on whatever I’m buying."

You can find deals on food, furniture and car repair.
