I noted that I wasn’t prepared to give up 30 minutes a week to cutting out coupons unless it was worth my time… but I didn’t really comment on how much my time is worth.

Most of them are for restaurants we'd never go to or windows we don't need replaced. The current Safeway promotion around here is a $10 coupon for spending $30 on various foods we don't eat. :( You're probably right that there are others ways I could be going about this; and if this experiment works, I'll be sure to look into those others ways.

We do. Just this week we received at least two mailers that we'll use for sure. I know this because my wife has cut out the coupons and stuck them on the fridge. There's a coupon for the local Ace Hardware where if we spend at least $15 on Ace-branded merchandise, we'll get $5 off our total bill. We spend about $25/month at Ace, so that's an easy five bucks. There's also a buy-one, get-one-free coupon for a local burger hut, a place we eat at about once a month. That's another $3 or $4. Today we made a grocery trip. Our bill was $110. We didn't buy anything unusual. After coupons, our total was about $80. We make a couple trips per month. (Sometimes three.) We get similar savings with each trip. If you're shopping at Safeway, look for their "save $5 on $50 purchase" coupon or "save $10 on $100 purchase" coupon. These are like gold, and generally available in the weekly Safeway flyer.
