I find it relaxing. I used to get my mother angry because I would cut up all her magazines - so clipping coupons puts that to constructive use. I always thought about stopping by the WonderBread Bakery Outlet and I finally did 2 days ago. Now I know there's a place to get fresh sandwich bread for 39 cents. You just need to figure out which stores are your favorites and then every time you go, you hit those places.
Most museums have free admission days.
For something to do, my friends and I would go to MOMA on Thursdays. Or there's usu. Or there's parks. Whenever you send out a rebate, make sure there's a number on there that you can call up and complain if you don't get your rebate. You do have to keep track of your rebates.
