What is your age group? - 35

How often do you coupon shop? - Once a week or less

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade) - Dumpster dive for newspapers, download and print coupons, trade

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? - Store policies that are written out for customers to view and understand and store personell that have been trained as to what the company coupon policy is. Someone that would clip and organize my coupons for me so I could just go shopping. :)

What is your age group? OLD - ok, 54

How often do you coupon shop? an average of once a week

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade) I have a daughter who works at a convience store that is allowed to bring home the leftover Sunday papers to me, I print coupons, I trade and I also purchase coupons. I use to dumpster dive once in awhile but haven't done that recently.

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? Managers and cashiers who are trained in coupon usage and who actually know their own store rules. Also along with that cashiers/managers who understand the difference between transaction and purchase.

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use? I really don't have any suggestions. I think HCW is one of the best sites around and very easy to navigate.

What is your age group? 51

How often do you coupon shop? Every time I shop--almost--I use qs. I hit CVS once a week and groceries once a week--sometimes twice if the second store has good sales.

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade) newspaper, print, email, trade, blinkies, tearpads

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? no limits, clerks understanding the rules, lots of stock in the store, a simple filing/finding system

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use? The only think I don't like is the home page, as far as I can see, doesn't have a place to go directly to my inbox or check for new messages, I wish it had the same tabs as all the other pages (including new posts, etc).

Best wishes on your paper.

What is your age group? - 30

How often do you coupon shop? - at least once per week

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade) - one Sunday paper and my mom sends me her coupons, download and print coupons, email companies regularly, trade on HCW, look for blinkies and tearpads at grocery stores, get coupons from gas stations

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? - if all of the same stores cashiers were trained better on coupons and what their store policy is, if I didnt have to clip so many coupons

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use?- It is hard to think of anything to make HCW better...but I have been thinking about it lately and I wish we had a forum set up for deals on individual items....such as detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, etc. instead of having to look at each individual store to find deals if someone found a deal on toilet paper they could just post it under that sticky title.

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade)
all of the examples given, ebay, collect inserts from local gym

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier?
a well train cashier. couponers tend to know the store laws better than employees

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use?
better for me is boring for most everyone else. less light-flashing features-they are harmless to most but for me they can and have brought on grand mal seizures.

How often do you coupon shop? every 2 weeks

What efforts do you take to gather coupons? (ex. newspaper, download and print coupons, email companies, trade) newspaper, friends, family

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? for store policies to remain the same, store officals to know the difference between store and manuf coupons.

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use? can think of anything at this time

What do you think would make coupon shopping easier? I wish cashiers were better trained and KNEW coupon policies

What do you think would make HCW a better/easier site to use? I don't like all the icons, smilies, etc... but that is probably just me. I use them but some people use A LOT of them.
