Using Grocery Coupons
-
Using grocery coupons is very simple, and definitely not something to be ashamed of. It's a wonderful way to save you and your family money. Browse through newspapers and store fliers to find out which coupons and savings can save you the most money. However, just because there is a coupon for an item doesn't mean you have to buy it. Look through your pantry and see which items need restocking. Plan a dinner menu for your family for the week, and then decide which ingredients you need. Look online, through newspapers, or any magazines you have to see if you can save money on the items you need.
Coupon Matching
-
If you have a coupon for an item that's on sale but your store doesn't offer the same sale, see if the store will match your coupon. Most stores are now starting to recognize coupon matching and will match a sale that another store carries. This way you don't have to travel to another place to shop for the items you need, and it's a good tactic for the store to keep it from losing a customer.
