The economic downturn means more folks are cutting coupons.

For the first time in sixteen years, the number of coupons that were redeemed rose last year. CMS Inc., a coupon processing agent, says coupon redemption rates rise when prices and unemployment go up and they noticed a spike last September.

CMS says it expects more consumers to grab the scissors and cut out even more coupons this year.
