Cheerios is one that we regularly clip when it is there.  Your 10%
figure might be even a little high.  Gail does the scanning and
clipping, but my guess would be that she clips less than 5% of what is
there.  She looks for things that we will buy anyhow, and only
occasionally will clip coupons for something new.

Perhaps so -- all of the stores will double coupons up to $0.50, many
stores will double coupons that are less than $1.00.
Doubling of $1.00 (or more) coupons is only done as a special promotion.

 HN> Do you usually realize much of a
 HN> savings from using coupons?

Very much so.  By using coupons and shopping for things on sale, the
grocery tab usually reports "savings" of 33% to 50%.  That is really a
bogus number though since there are many things that we never buy at
full price, but wait for a sale and then stock up.
