Coupons....will they be the death of me?

Recently, we've been brainstorming on how to save a little cash here and there. One of my ideas was to start "couponing." Is that even a verb? Anyway- I've signed up for all these sites to get coupons in my email (not my regular email btw- it's a special 'coupon' email address I've set up). I've also started reading a few blogs about how to coupon. In one blog, a mom mentions that she can teach me how to 'CVS.' Huh? Now CVS is a verb? This is getting strange.

At any rate, I read her CVS blog and still find myself confused on how to CVS. I think I might be missing something here.....

If you get how to CVS, please email me: couponesage@gmail.com

And if you plan to get on the coupon bandwagon, good luck. I've printed MORE coupons in the last 2 weeks- now it's just finding the time to actually go to the grocery store!

My opinion on coupons: if they're too much headache and stress, I'd rather NOT save the money.

It's kind of like shopping at Walmart. Yeah, they're cheaper, but its NOT worth my stress and frustration to save money and shop there compared to my blissful, serene and uber friendly Tom Thumb.

I have always wanted to use coupons in the way that these uber-coupon clippers do...it truly fascinates me! I think that the CVS blogger is saying is that you can use manufacturer coupons, CVS bucks and then get $5 off...so put them all together, and you can walk out with free stuff. Sounds like a lot of coordinating to me...and it's usually for items I don't need...or are fattening (like Oreos).
