1. Build your grocery list around planned menu ideas. Shopping with a list will help reduce unwanted spending on impulse buys.
2. Use the Supermarket Flyers for finding additional discounts. If chick thighs are .98/lb then you might buy extra and freeze for a later time.
3. Use coupons only for the items you normally buy.
4. Use coupons on sale items on double coupon day to maximize your discount.
5. Don't go to the store hungry! You are more apt to buy something you don't need just because it sounds so good.
6. If possible, shop alone. Kids are wonderful at adding additional things to the cart. It is much easier to say no to yourself than to say no to your children.
7. Put together a price book. A price book is a homemade book where you keep track of the items that you buy and their prices at the various stores. For example, you may make a pricebook out of a spiral notebook. The first page may be milk. Under milk you will write the various stores and the prices they have milk for. A pricebook can be a very valuable asset when shopping since it will tell you the cheapest places to buy your groceries. Don't forget that stores such as Walmart and Target also have grocery items and in many instance offer a savings over your local grocery store.
8. Cook with whole foods and eliminate packaged meals from your diet. Although packaged foods are much easier and take less time, they cost more and a generally have food additives that you and your family could do without. If you need to be able to throw a meal on the table consider cooking a few meals ahead of time, freezing and using as needed.
9. Rather than buying expensive boxed cereals, frozen waffles, and packaged breakfast food why not make french toast, oatmeal, eggs and toast, pancakes, omletes, and biscuits for breakfast. If time is a issue why not make some pancakes or waffles in bulk ahead of time, freeze and use as needed.
10. Plan on having 3 non-meat meals a week. You can buy pasta, beans and eggs a lot cheaper than meat.

Super Market Magic! Grocery Coupons
Certainly shopping with grocery coupons are a way to save a substantial amount on your weekly grocery bill. The problem that I find is that there are not always coupons for items that I use in the Sunday paper. I search through the fliers and then sometimes I find that because I have a coupon I will buy something that I would not usually. I guess that is okay if you want to try a new product, but to buy an item just because I have a coupon is certainly not going to save me any money. It is frustrating to scan the weekly fliers in the Sunday paper just to find a few coupons that I could use. Yes every penny counts, but I hate to pay retail and I would like to have more coupons that suit my shopping needs.
While searching for some promotional items for my small business I came across a program that will give you $1000 in coupons of your choice. Valid at any supermarket.
Manufacturers Spend BILLIONS in newspaper Advertising to offer over $300 billion worth of grocery coupons every year. However, consumers saved less than $2 billion by using those coupons. With this program the consumer gets to select the coupons for the products they want to purchase. This program is guaranteed to save the consumer over $1,000
Have you ever been in line at your supermarket and a customer in front of you had a coupon for every item in their shopping cart?
That customer was using this program. Why is it that less than 1% of American families know about this offer, yet 90% of all households use grocery coupons? Everyone thinks that local newspapers are the only source of grocery coupons. The truth is, local papers contain less than 10% of the coupons available from the manufacturers on brand name grocery products.
