Need Help Saving Money on Groceries

Just finished putting all my coupons and a shopping list together from http://www.livingrichwithcoupons.com/

There are a lot of tips and I will get many items free or for pennies this week.

I haven't had time to get into the coupon websites but do want to soon. I just wanted to give you two ideas that I do that seem to help save us money. I first make a menu for the month, I really try to make meals that will have left overs especially for those nights that I know are going to be busy. When you make your menu for the month, first take inventory of what you have in your kitchen, use your food up, make meals with the food you already have, I then go shopping one time for all the dry foods I will need for that month this way I will only have to go grocery shopping for produce and dairy. This is suppose to save me money so I don't keep going back to the store and buying more than I need, this still doesn't always work but I do feel it could really work.

Best of luck, I know groceries are way too expensive these days, especially the healthy stuff.

I will check back to see other ideas since I would love to new tricks.

coupon sense is an organization that will help you do the grocery shopping. there are consultants in each area that can guide you. I think there is a small fee . Look it up online and see if you can find info.

moneysavingmom.com and grocershrink.com both have great info about saving money on groceries, couponing, and overall spending (or not!).

I really dont have the patience to do the coupon thing and really stick to it but I have tried....couponsuzy.com, groupon.com good luck and keep me posted!!!

I use couponmom dot com. I sign up for their newsletters and always print out a bunch of coupons before I go shopping. I also use multiple stores and know which of my regular/staple items are sold at each, at the best price. Stores I frequent include WalMart, Target and Jewel (only sale items that I know are better than the other stores I go to).

I have great luck with the following sites:

http://hip2save.com (my fav!)
http://www.couponing101.com
http://www.totallytarget.com (check out, cheap finds--mostly free-$1 or less)
http://www.mamacheaps.com/

So many of the coupons you need can be printed from the internet. Good Luck!

It's been quite some time since I used it, but I did www.thegrocerygame.com. You do pay for it (starts at $10 per 4 weeks), but I found I more than paid for it with savings. Doesn't just show you what's cheap, but also tracks prices so you know when things are not just on sale, but at their lowest in the "cycle". I only stopped doing it because I had so much stocked up, that we needed to take a break for awhile.
