Rate: (13 Ratings)

I just saved 35% on my grocery bill TODAY! Last week I saved 49%! How did I do it? With a little preparation, an internet connection, a bit of patience, and the following steps, you will see how I did the seemingly impossible. You too, will quickly find yourself spending less on all of your grocery needs and saving valuable $$$!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Internet connection
  • Access and an open account on Ebay
Step1
Using your internet connection, access the Ebay website.
Step2
Search for "grocery store coupons", "coupons", or "store coupons".
Step3
Many members advertise grocery store coupons for $.99-$1.99 or often much less plus shipping. Find a seller that ships a large quantity of typical grocery-store coupons for a price and a shipping rate that you think is fair.
Step4
Bid on the coupons that are the least expensive, but that might help you on your next shopping trip.
Step5
Spend less on groceries, Put more in the Piggy! Sort your coupons once they arrive and shop at grocers that DOUBLE YOUR COUPONS!

Tips & Warnings

  • Look for sellers that may be out of your area or in entirely different states. They will often send the best most widely used coupons.
  • Most coupons should be "manufacturer's coupons".
  • If you are looking for specific coupons such as baby products or pet products, don't be afraid to ask the seller if these are included.
  • Ask the seller for the expiration date of most of the coupons if the date is not listed in the description.
  • Search for those coupons that will be expiring soon. You may get them for as little as a $.01 plus shipping.
  • If there are "specific store" coupons offered, make sure the stores are located in your area
