Saw a video clip online from msnbc about saving money etc and they mentioned this site http://www.shortcuts.com
it's not working yet but they said it should be coming in the next few weeks. Looks pretty interesting if it actually works out.
From what they said appearently you register your store cards, select what coupons you want linked to your card and when you shop and swipe your card it automatically takes off the coupons..at least thats how i understood it, might be worth checking into.

Hmmmm...might be interesting but I wonder about using multiple coupons for more than one of the same product, also the limit of coupons you can attach to your card, and if you attach a coupon to one card can you also attach it to another??

This might be a good idea, simpler and easier for the un-obsessed couponers, but for us, it might cut down on the amount we are saving or able to save depending on the stipulations and limits set.

Just some thoughts.

This may be old news but at Kroger we can already use something similar. If you log on to Kroger.com you will see the P&G eSaver link and be able to register your card and attach current coupons, up to 25. When you use one they put another one up there. They are ready for use in about 2 hrs. These coupons DO NOT DOUBLE at the store, however you can still use your other coupons on top of them. I have saved quite a bit over the last couple of months with this process. It's only one manufacturer but, every little bit counts at my house.

If the rules apply the same way, it'll be an extra coupon. It would be great if they applied to multiples though! I can't wait to see what happens with this.

I guess alot of stores are doing this now. Saw something on another site. It's cool that you can use them with other manufacturer's coupons. Could really help save a bunch in the long run! Thanks for sharing.
