When you think of America, the images that usually come to mind are that of Hollywood, extravagance, rampant consumerism and commercialism. But we forget that frugal people exist in every country of the world, even in capitalism central.

A fast growing number of Americans have started using online coupons to add an aspect of frugality to grocery shopping, which, frankly, can be a bit of a nightmare for your worn wallet. The effects of rising housing costs, recession, and overall price rise have to go somewhere. Coupons.com compiles an annual list of the most frugal cities in America and found out that in 2015, the country saved more than $2 billion on groceries and household goods by using more than 1.6 billion coupons in 2014. Here are the most frugal cities of the United States of America:
