Grocery store coupons are a fast and easy way to save money on your food bill, you can actually see the money dropping off your shopping bill as you stand at the cash register! Many people don't use grocery store coupons because they say that it takes too much time... but the truth is that it only takes a few minutes of preparation before heading to the store.
There are three main locations where you can find grocery store coupons: manufacturers coupons can be found inserted in the weekend newspaper and store-brand grocery store coupons are usually located in the current store ad. Also both types of coupons can often be found online.
The best way to use grocery store coupons is to pair the coupon with a sale price on the item you are planning on purchasing. When you use the coupons in conjunction with a sale price, your saving will increase. Sometimes you can even get items for free if it is a good enough sale!
The most important aspect of shopping with grocery store coupons is to be organized and plan ahead. Keep your newspaper insert coupons filed by week (or coupon type) so that they are easy to find before you head to the store. Also, it is a good idea to bookmark a few of your favorite printable grocery coupon websites so that you can quickly print out a few coupons before doing your weekly shopping.
I have set a routine for myself to take 20 minutes before my shopping trip to plan. I review the store ads that come in the mail, and plan my meals around the items that are on sale.
Then, I also compare the ads to the coupons that I currently have. If there are any corresponding coupons, I simply need to locate them in my filing system and cut them out so that they are ready to go. I always take my shopping list and a small index card file holder that contains the coupons I will be using for my shopping trip.
As you use grocery store coupons, over time you will really begin to see the savings adding up!
