Coupons

I have managed to save up to 80% on my grocery bill. It takes some time, practice, and organization but it is possible. And I have even heard of people saving even more!

My tips:

• Be organized! I keep my coupons in a 3 inch binder and have them in baseball card sleeves.
• Plan Plan Plan! I try to make a list of what meals we will eat each day. Breakfast and lunch I don't worry so much about unless I plan on making something special.
• Search the ads for what's on sale.
• Know what stores in your area have double coupon days and take advantage of it!
• Stock up when you can get staples for little to no cost!
• Write to companies whose products you like and use often. You would be surprised how many will send you coupons just for your compliments!
