CNBC posted this interesting article on couponers that I wanted to share with you and get your opinion:
Constance Atkinson, a 20-year veteran of couponing, estimates that she saves more than $1,000 per year by scouring the newspaper for deals.
Atkinson, a Brooklyn resident, and other bargain-seeking consumers fueled a 63-percent surge in coupon redemption last year, according to new data from Coupons.org.
But the changing face of the coupon user may surprise you.
Households with incomes of $100,000 or more are twice as likely to coupon as those who earn less than $35,000.
College-degree holders are also twice as likely to use coupons as those who did not graduate from high school.

I was kind of shocked about this, I am an avid couponer but I don't make even close to $100,000.
I always wondered if I had a lot of money would I still coupon? I believe I would, being frugal has become part of who I am.
I would rather use money on something more important to me than groceries.
Do you think you coupon mostly out of necessity or because you really enjoy it?
What do you think?
