Every frugal shopper counts his or her coupons before he or she shops.

Shopper is singular so your pronoun has to be singular as well.

Answer:

Every frugal shopper counts his or her coupons before they shop.

Explanation:

In the above sentence, the pronoun used would be 'his' or 'her' which would agree with the number of the antecedent. The antecedent is 'every frugal shopper' which is singular in number and hence, the pronoun used would be singular. The statement has a pronoun agreement error.
