Coupons?

I am trying to get buy each month on a small grocery budget ($200 just for food stuff). All the web sites I go to say to clip coupons. Well, we bought a paper (Temple Daily Telegram) last weekend and I couldn't find a single coupon worth clipping!! What the heck?! Where are all these people finding such great deals? All I have is HEB and Walmart to shop at and HEB is where I get the food. I try to use the coupons already in the store. I have found that many coupons are for name brand items which even with the coupons are more expensive than the generic I usually buy! ARGH!!! Please help! Should I get an Austin paper just for the coupons? That's an expensive paper and I don't want to get it unless it will pay off. Thanks.

PS--I am already tired of pizza, Ramen and Mac N Cheese. I am gaining weight lately as well since the cheap foods are so unhealthy (the yummy cinnamon rolls I made didn't help either.)

lentils and rice, beans and rice, meat in veggies to bulk it up, with rice on the side, fills you up for very little and very healthy! [
