Look through the coupon papers every week, and cut out the ones for products that you will use or would like to try. If you use coupons for products that no one wants, you are not saving money. Check the store brands. Many times the store brands are much more inexpensive that name brand products, and just as good. Experiment and find the store brand products that your families like, and potentially save big bucks there.
Some good bets are cereals, crackers and cookies.
These are nearly always the same products with a different package, and the savings are substantial. By following these five suggestions, you should be able to save a substantial amount of money. If after trying one or two of the suggestions for several weeks you find it difficult, pass on it and try the others. Saving money at the grocery store is not an all or nothing proposition. Any amount that you save is better than nothing.
