Use a price comparison chart similar to this one to save time and money while grocery shopping.
I keep my coupons in a three ring binder. If you use something similar it's also best to pair that with using a price comparison chart. Write down the best deals you see on the things you buy the most at the different stores in which you shop. Then when you need these items and they are not on sale you'll know where to go for the best deal. OR, if you are shopping at one store and they are having an unadvertised sale you can see if it would be worth it to you to pick up a few extra if it's cheaper than the best price on your chart.
This will take a little up front work if you have never done anything like this before, and it may take a few weeks to get in place. It's also important to update it as you shop, so be sure to do it in pencil!
Until Next Time.....
