    "I use a lot of coupons. I almost exclusively shop with coupons."

    For A-list celebrities who’ve made it big in Hollywood, money is usually not a concern. After bringing in millions for their movies, TV shows and other projects, many stars have no problem dropping thousands on expensive cars, clothing and vacations. But for some frugal celebs, they choose not to splurge on a lavish lifestyle and instead opt to spend their hard earned cash wisely. In fact, some stars admit to clipping coupons whenever they get the chance -- even if it causes strange looks from other people in line at the grocery store!

    Find out which celebs are still clipping coupons…

    1. Carrie Underwood

    Carrie Underwood may be a major celebrity who could afford to eat out every night but she says she still often cooks homemade meals for her husband Mike Fisher and their two kids. When she heads out to stock up on groceries, she says she of course uses coupons.

    “Doing the weekly shopping, I stock up on stir-fry kits, Amy’s meatless burgers, and armloads of onions and garlic,” she wrote in a blog for Rachael Ray magazine . “I put onions and garlic in everything. Ack — as usual, I forgot my coupons. (Yes, I do clip them!)”

    2. Kristen Bell

    Kristen Bell loves to find a deal and has been a longtime coupon user. In fact, back in 2012, Kristen admitted that she was “very addicted” to Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons -- and may have even stolen a couple from her neighbors when she noticed them sticking out of their mailboxes.

    “I use a lot of coupons. I almost exclusively shop with coupons,” she shared on Conan , adding, “I may or may not have stolen them out of my neighbors' mailboxes sometimes. I wouldn't have done it in the dark of night. But if I'm walking my dogs past and I see it sticking out, I may or may not have grabbed it more than once.”

    3. Carmelo Anthony

    Carmelo Anthony may have made millions as a basketball player in the NBA but he still uses coupons to save money. Back in 2011, even before he retired, he said he would clip coupons from the paper and use them at the grocery store.

    “I go to the supermarket, make sure I get the newspaper and tear the coupons out; save a dollar or two,” Carmelo told CBS . “I’ve got the paper open with coupons, ripping them, I'm human too.”

    “Why do people look at me like I’m crazy when I use coupons at grocery (stores) or try bargaining at retail, I’M FROM NEW YORK WHERE IS THE SALE RACK,” she tweeted .

    5. Kourtney Kardashian

    Kourtney Kardashian may not be an avid couponer any longer but early in her reality TV career, she admitted to being totally addicted to finding a deal.

    “I cut coupons to this day. I’ll never forget, one time I was at Bloomingdale’s, and they had these coupons -- Bloomingdale’s has really good coupons -- and I was taking them all out; I was doing holiday shopping. And someone behind me turned around and said, ‘I can’t believe how long you're taking. Why are you using coupons?’” Sarah told CNBC Make It . “I remember looking at her like, why should I pay more? Like, if there's a coupon there, I’m going to use it. Just because you’re successful doesn't mean that you should be errant in your spending. I’ve never believed that.”

    9. Jennie Garth

    Jennie Garth once played a teen socialite on Beverly Hills 90210 , but off screen she doesn’t live as lavishly as the character she used to play. Jennie prefers to live frugally and was even recruited to blog for couponing website RetailMeNot.com. In her posts, Jennie shared tips and tricks about shopping for her family as well as throwing parties on a budget.

    “When you’re a single parent, finding a bargain becomes less of a nicety and more of a necessity. That’s why, whether I’m ordering books on Amazon, clothes for my girls at Forever 21 or just random stuff at CVS, I try to shop smart,” Jennie wrote .
