Saving money on groceries

Holiday is here. I believe most households consume more groceries during the holiday season, especially if they are having parties or dinner with friends and families. Let me tell you, groceries are not cheap nowadays. With the increase in gasoline and all, the prices on groceries also went up. And if you are not the one whom shops for these items, you may not notice the increase. But I am telling you now.

There are ways to deal with the increase of these grocery prices, and that is by using grocery coupons. Although it is not much of a saving per coupon but once accumulated, they are worth a lot. I never shop my grocery without coupons. I cut out manufacturer coupons from the Sunday newspaper as well as print them online from MySavings dot com. It helps to save me quite a bit from each shopping trip and sometimes up to 70% of the retail total price.

Another way is to buy items on the weekly sales. Check out flyers and compare same items from different grocery stores and write down which store has the lowest price. And then go to MySavings to find out if they hare any coupons available for these items. Print these coupons and bring them with you to your grocery shopping trip.
