I think the savings are great....I've always had a question for people who do this...
What do you do with the stuff you buy that you really don't need that much of? Sell it? I see the people on TV and the savings are great, but I don't want 27 jars of mayo in my house, or 20 bottles of MR Clean.
I'm totally jealous of the savings for the needed stuff though!

We generally don't buy anything that we don't use, no matter how cheap it is. If I pay 1 cent for something I don't use, I've wasted 1 cent.
Now, if it is free or better than free (we get money back to spend elsewhere) or we HAVE to buy it to make it work (i.e. we pay for something we don't use, but we get something we do use for better than free), then we just give the stuff away to family or friends, or charity.
For example, something is on sale for 75 cents, but we have a 1 dollar off coupon. Not only am I gettting it for free, but I am also getting 25 cents "credit" to use against another item that I will actually use. This is what I mean by "better than free"

My wife and I have talked about this.. if she would get disciplined enough to do it, we'd give most of the excess away to some charities. Maybe keep 10 bottles of mustard and give away the other 10.
