While the economy is tough, people find ways to save. Daily deals and Sunday circulars are commonplace in a country where "Extreme Couponing" is entertainment. Though most clippings are for grocery items, tell us, do you ever use coupons for home goods?
My deal-scoring routine includes trolling online sample sales and thrifting, but I can't say I've used an actual coupon since hoarding Bed, Bath & Beyond flyers during college.
How about you? Do you take advantage of furniture store flyers or Groupons for framing? Share your best coupon sources in the comments!

Yes, at World Market; once a year they have a 25% off coupon for their furniture and you can get great deals!
Yes, I've used them occasionally at Target, BB&B, etc. It's a good way to get something I need!
Yes indeed.
I've used a BB&B coupon to get a large santoku knife. I love that knife and want to get another one for a friend. (I have the coupon ready)
BB&B and other online store like YLiving, AllModern, etc...
I use the BB&B coupons at Christmas a lot for buying gifts and stocking stuffers, but I have used them for other things when I need them - kitchen items, bedsheets, curtains etc. That's about the only store whose coupons I use though.
I used one of those ubiquitous BB&B 25% off coupons to buy a Kitchen Aid blender seven years ago or so. The store stank so of cinnamon air freshener, I had to leave ASAP. I didn't find the blender particularly wonderful, either. It has a hard time pureeing less than a quart at a time. I've not been back to BB&B, nor bought anything else from Kitchen Aid.
Hobby Lobby 40% off coupons are the best for fabric and decor. I've repainted all kinds of frames, mirrors, decor items, etc., to fit my color scheme. Everyone always asks where they came from! I also put Michael's, BB&B and Target coupons to good use when I was setting up my apartment.
Yes to the Hobby Lobby coupons! It's gotten to where I won't buy anything there if I don't have a coupon or it isn't on sale, since it will most certainly be cheaper next time I come in. I also take stuff there for framing all the time during their custom framing events.
I always Google around for a coupon code before ordering stuff online from places like Target, West Elm, etc. Even if it's only free shipping or 5% off, it helps.
Strangely, I suck a grocery coupons. I just can't be bothered.
