Default Is "buying" coupons really worth it?

Hi all. I'm new to this site. I've just looked into buying coupons for my weekly sales. My only concern is actually getting my coupons in time before the sale is over. For instance the 3 grocery stores in my area are Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie & Walmart. I do all my shopping at Walmart b/c of the price matching. Piggly Wiggly & Winn Dixie generally have awesome BOGO's weekly but there's no way to find out what the sales are going to be until the day the sale starts (Wed-Tues here). I know if I had coupons coupled with the BOGO's I could get stuff next to nothing! I just have no need for 20 of one coupon & I'm scared to spend money on the coupons and they not come in before the sale is over. I need some opinions and insight from others please!!

Thanks!
SAHM of 3

P.S. With just price matching alone I generally save between 40-50% off my grocery bill.

You just have to be willing to take that risk. 7 days should be enough time to get coupons. I have always gotten mine 95% of the time before a sale ends. Holidays And certain times if the years it's harder because of an increase in people shipping things so its not always worth it. I say it's worth the risk. Since I'm using PayPal that I have gotten from apps and listing coupons here, I don't worry about it because its not part of my normal income.

If you are worried abut receiving things on time, I'd suggest finding a clipper near you. There are no clippers (that I can find) in Oregon, but if I want something here quick, I know that a clipper in California can easily get it to me in 3-4 days, giving me a few days to use my Q's too. I think buying coupons is worth it for me.

if you order the day the sale starts you should really get them before the sale end !!!
sale starts on Wednesday, they will ship on Thursday , you should have them on Saturday or Monday at the latest. just make sure you tell them they have to be shipped next day

Why not try Thecouponclippers.com? If you have Winn Dixie, you must live in the South. They are located in Florida and would get them to you quickly. They do not operate "on a whim." As in, they don't decide in the morning that they don't feel like filling orders. So, you should get them quickly.
