Massachusetts mom Kathy Spencer is so good at <a href="http://a.abcnews.com/GMA/Parenting/story?id=5335397&page=1" target="_blank">clipping coupons</a> that she can feed her family of six for about $4 a weeek. Coupon cutting and special savings can drastically cut the grocery bill.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/gma/recipes/" target="_blank">supermarket</a>.<br />
<br />
Spencer spends a couple of hours every week scanning newspapers, circulars and the Web.
