Catherine Boyle is a devoted couponer when she shops for her husband, Barney, 50, a bank vice president, and their two children.
When she started using coupon websites like
couponmom.com, she put in four to five hours per week. Now she's got it down to about two to three hours a week and saves $400 to $500 a month.
The kids have accepted having to give up Jif or Peter Pan peanut butter in favor of Skippy, which is often on sale. "But I'd be drawn and quartered if I brought home generic peanut butter," Boyle says.
While the Boyles live a comfortable life, they need the extra money for college. Their 14-year-old just started high school.
