Coupon Myth: Coupons are Mostly for Processed, Packaged Foods

In 2008, convenience foods were only the fourth-biggest coupon category - more coupons were issued for medications and other OTC remedies, cereal and household cleaners. If you avoid convenience foods, you can still save on ingredients such as eggs and cheese. And everyone needs paper, health and beauty products, for which coupons are plentiful.

Note: See my post "Organic Food Coupons do Exist" if you think the only food coupons that you can get are for high-fat, high-sodium, high-sugar, processed foods.
