“Massachusetts mom Kathy Spencer is so good at clipping coupons that she can feed her family of six for about $4 a week.

The coupon maverick went shopping with “Good Morning America” recently to show viewers how to hoard coupons to get the most out of their next trip to the supermarket.

Spencer spends a couple of hours every week scanning newspapers, circulars and the Web.

“Once you have a stockpile, you’re good to go and you go through the ads, find out what works for free and then cut the coupons and go to the store,” Spencer said. “When I go to the store, I only buy what works out free or close to free, and that’s how I do it for as little as I can.”

On her latest shopping trip, Spencer ran up a bill of $267.23, before her coupons were added.

After coupons? One cent. Spencer managed to save $267.22.”
