Grocery Discount Coupons Are Easy Money!

By Renee Gibbs

It is a shocking but true fact that grocery discount coupons can reduce your food expenses by 65% or more.

Are you listening? How would you like to spend less than half of what you spent on last weeks grocery expenses this week, with just a very few mondifications to your grocery shopping strategies?

1. Find a coupon for everything you plan to buy. Always buy at a discounted price!

2. Look for high face-value coupons and discounts. Looking for the best grocery coupons requires only a few things. Scan the online printable grocery coupon sites and look for high face-value coupons. Scan the electronic coupon sites too, choose which offers you want and add them to your club card. Study the sales fliers for already discounted items. Know that the supermarket chains have gotten increasingly more competitive as the economy has gotten worse, so the deals are better. Look for discounted items in the store ad every week.

3. Match your coupons with weekly specials to get the highest savings. You may be happily unaware that this one skill will save you an additional 30% or more off the top.

4. Most importantly, buy a lot when prices are extra cheap. If you can buy cereal at under $.25 a box buy 20 not 1 or 2. I use the example of cereal as I stare at the 40 boxes I have stored on top of my kitchen cupboards as I write this. Hey, it was an exceptional bargain to buy 10 boxes for what you can usually buy 1 box for.

Will you really save tons of cash with grocery discount coupons? Certainly. if you know how to use them properly and get the most out of them. Let me explain, properly and most refer to the need for having a good supply of like coupons to use so that you can stock up when products are free or nearly so. Almost every week there are items to be had for free or just a few cents on the dollar.

Where do I like to look for grocery discount coupons? Many places, but I really find online printable grocery coupons to be useful because of their high face-values. I also really like the new electronic grocery coupons because of how high the discounts are and how easy they are to use. When I need a broader range of coupons to chose from and have exhausted my free coupon possibilities, I use a coupons clipping service to get many multiples of the best coupons every week.
