Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half!

 If you use coupons the right way by combining store sales and coupons together to get the best deals, you will almost always cut your grocery bill or increase the amount of items you are able to buy for the same amount of money.

If you buy items that you will need now or in the near future when they are on sale, and use a coupon to go with the sale price if possible, and buy enough to last you until the next sale, you will be able to save a lot of money. 

STORE ADS
Grocery store sale prices run from Wednesday to Tuesday.  Every Wednesday a new ad comes out in the morning newspaper with different sale items.  Each store usually has monthly ad also that you can pick-up in the store. 

Walmart, Kmart, Target, and Walgreens store ads come out on Sunday and sales prices run from Sunday to Saturday.

If you don't get the paper, you can find the ads online, or pick up an ad at the store.

In the store ads there may also be store coupons.  Most stores let you use a store coupon from the ad and a manufacturers coupon for the same item. 

All products fluctuate in their pricing over about a 6 week period. For the most part, manufacturers put out coupons on their products, then within about a two month period almost ALL of those products will come on sale at multiple stores. Wait until an item comes on sale to get it for cheaper, and then combine it with manufacturer coupons and store coupons to get the item for its lowest cost.
