Saving More at the Supermarket

Coupons are awesome. I save much more than $10 a month. I am so thankful to have found them :)

There aren't as many good coupons today as there were years ago, yet I still use coupons , and I buy items on sale each week that I need and have coupons for. I save over $200 each month and that is over $2400 each year. I make sure we are stocked up for weeks and I buy food for holidays months in advance. Things will be getting much worse if the farms keep vanishing. The price of food is going to get ridiculous. I recently saw a story about many people are growing some of their own fruits and vegetables in their gardens and others in cities like NY have hens in their little yards. They are saving on eggs. We are going to see much more of this in the future it is almost as if mankind is slowly converting back to some old ways of providing for their families.

Coupons, coupons, coupons. Sales, sales, sales. That the key to getting food for my family these days.

Try using mfg coupons with store cpns as to save more $$. I try to do this when I go grocery shopping. I am always looking to save $$ with these coupons as they do save alot for me. Hey if it saves me $$, I will spend the time clipping the coupons. With the bad economy these days, we all have to use coupons to stretch our dollars & get good deals & sales.

I always use coupons and save ALOT of $$$$. It does take time and patience, but is well worth it. I had one cashier get "crappy" and tell me I was using too many coupons!! I asked her how much money saved is too much?! She didn't have a reply to that. I'm not as good at it as others who receive money back from the store, but I usually end up saving at least 40% off my bill. I also go to the company websites, like Bettycrocker.com, Pillsbury.com, etc. and they have coupons too. I also get samples and freebies from mysavings.com. When you receive a sample, theres usually a very good coupon enclosed.

I just want to encourage everyone to use those coupons and get products even if they have no use for them....someone could use them..........so please donate them to a charity or nursing home in your area!!

When shopping at Ralph's I look for the orange Managers Special sticker. But recently, purchased a prepacked salad with the sticker and later discovered the item was well past expiration date (Sticker covered the date). Yuck.

i started using coupons once i became a stay at hom momma! it saves us quite a bit each month. i love it when my husband says, "wow that was quiet frugal!" i've heard of the grocerygame.com but not too sure about it...anyone have thoughts.!!??

I buy in bulk and have a chest freezer in the storage closet on my apartment patio. The storage allows me to freeze items for later. I go to the bread store and when I buy so many items I get free bread items from the shelf. I try to use coupons but it is hard to have tem with me when I am out and need to stop for something. There is also ways to make your own laundry soap and such. It all takes alittle effort but can add up!

Coupons do help alot but I go to Sams and buy the big bag of chicken breasts and separate them into small family meals for the three of us in my family. i freeze those. I also buy the bulk ground turkey and separate that also into small meals. There are alot of ways to cook chicken and turkey. Sales help alot when using coupons at the grocery store. You just have to be creative and it is time consuming.

Couponing has saved me a lot of money. Also, stockpiling saves money. I take advantage of sales and buy a lot of items when they are at a low price. By doing this, I haven't had to buy laundry detergent for over 6 months. It really helps to save money and we need to since we have four little ones.

Coupons are the way to go. It is like finding free money. I typically save $50 a week. I make sure to buy things when they are on sales, when I have a coupon and when store is offering double coupon. What beats a free product, how about the store pays me to take products home!

I use coupons sometimes, but my store here has great sales that you dont need coupons for. They always have 10 for 10.00 sales here and its usually on great things like cans of spaghetti sauce and packages of pasta, soup and things like that. So I try to buy as much of that as I can. I always take a list. I plan out what I am going to have for dinner for that week and buy only the things I need for that, plus breakfast stuff and non food things like toilet paper if I need it or dishwasher soap. I never buy anthing thats not on my list and I never go to the store when I am starving. We dont have much to pick from here is our small town, we have a Wal mart supercenter and an Albertsons, so between the two I can usually do pretty good for the week.

I save tons of money using coupons on everything from HBA items to food. We shop whats onsale, match our coupons with the store adds, and sometimes walk out of the store with name brand merchandise that we only had to pay taxes on. My friend is a couponing queen, only paying taxes on everything, and sometimes recieving money back from stores.. the night before last, we got 6 packs of tp, 9 packs of maxi pads, 9 bars of childrens soap, 10 boxes of pizza rolls, 4 bags of veggies, 3 bags of rice cakes, 5 cases of soda, and 2 bags of chips, all name brand items for 26.00 total, tax and all.. plus I got a 10 dollar print out for savings on my next visit to that store. Can not beat those deals.

I love my coupons. My hubby thinks I am crazy by how addicted I am to saving money. I use coupons for just about everything. I can not tell you the last time I had to pay anything for toiletries(razors, shampoo, soap, ect. ) With coupons and sales I can usually get it for free then I stock up. I wish we had a CVS and Kroger close by because I have seen some people get unbelievable deals at those stores using coupons.
