Getting Your Spouse To Use Coupons

A friend of my, who shall remain nameless, lamented that his wife (who does the grocery shopping) refuses to use coupons.  The family always lives paycheck to paycheck and has 4+ kids.  They are against her religion or something...

Another friend sent me this recommendation.  Have your kid(s) clip the coupons and give them half the savings.  If the spouse who does the shopping can't be bothered have the kids cut them and go along shopping.  If the coupons save ten bucks, you give them five.

We don't have an aversion to saving.  But if you're in my friend's situation, try it.
