We make a list of every single item that needs to be purchased (part of how we save is by sticking to the list ONLY) we dont buy anything extra. We then matchup coupons with sale adds, to make sure we are getting the best deal possible i do my best to keep a master price list for the stores we shop at because some sale prices arent really a sale at all. And most of our coupons arent used because i dont buy a product just because i have a coupon. Another way to save on your grocery bill is to get generic products even on simple things like trash bags adds up on savings !
Thanks for the information! Can I ask about how much do you save by using the coupons? Do you do couponing online? (like printing coupons from internet sights) I am really trying to start this but waiting on a working printer because I have heard that it helps to get the online coupons too. Just curious!
ReplyDeletehonestly i save more by shopping according to my master price list sheets than i do with coupons and the key is to find the best sale price for the item and then add the coupon to it that is the most beneficial way. I do not use coupons off line too often but if you can find good ones it is worth it i always try to be careful as far as how much im spending on ink compared to how much i am saving from the actual coupon, just like i wont drive ten minutes out of my way for one item that i would be saving 50 cents on because the gas isnt worth it. or i wait for the day that i would be driving by and then get it. hope that helps :)
