Coupons are an easy way to save a few bucks on things you would normally need to buy anyways.
*note* NEED TO BUY. Buying things you don't need just because it's on sale is not saving you money!
Now I'm not talking about spending half your life stockpiling and dumpster diving for coupons like those "Extreme couponers" you see on TV. That's just unrealistic.
Coupons basically give you that extra little discount on whatever you're paying for. Whether it's a restaurant meal, groceries, household items, stationary, even car repairs, whatever it is you need.
Always keep an eye on local flyers, local newspapers, and "spam" you receive in the mail. There's also some websites like www.save.ca that mail out free coupons that you order online. Also things like Entertainment Books that you can purchase, have enough coupons for the book to pay for itself multiple times over. (And don't forget to wait for a sale on the book too!).
For store coupons, in general, manufacturers coupons (not specific to any one store) can be combined with in-store coupons. And in almost all cases, the coupons can be combined with sale items. So let's say your favorite toilet paper is on sale at a local store, and you have a manufacturer's coupon, you're saving on top of saving! If you have a few extra coupons, it's a great time to stock up!
