5 Easy Steps to enjoy grocery savings

Sign up for a value or club card at the store where you shop. It’s free, fast and easy to do. This card will give you automatic savings when you shop using the card.

1. Sign up for the value card at the store where you intend to shop. It's easy, fast and FREE!
2. Get the Wednesday and/ or Sunday newspaper. Identify the day or days of the week the newspaper in your area contains the sales circulars and coupons usually it is Sunday and Wednesday. Decide on the day of the week that is most convenient for you to shop. This will help you decide which day of the week to go grocery shopping and which day to get the newspaper. Also, by picking a particular day to shop will help you keep a shopping schedule. This reduces the frustration of dreading to go to the grocery store and stand in the long lines because you know what to expect on a particular day of the week.
3. Shop at more than one grocery store. Pick 2 or 3 grocery stores you are willing travel to shop. Then, decide which store has the better savings that week. For example, I use to shop only at one popular grocery store in the area where I live. Until one day I realized, I was coming out of the store with 3 or 4 plastic bags of nothing after paying $30 - $40. Sometimes I would only have snacks or fruit and maybe enough food to make one meal for my family of 3. This prompted me to look at other local stores circulars. I found another popular grocery store advertising a dollar section where everything is priced at $1 each mix or match. There I found side items such as rice, vegetables and mashed potatoes for $1.
4. Plan your meals based on what is on sale. I know this sounds so simple. Simply, buy the groceries you want and need only while they are on sale. One week I found pork loin on sale for 99¢/ lb. if you come if into the store Sunday – Wednesday because beginning Thursday the sale price would go up to $1.99/ lb. Needless to say, this a great incentive to get to the store for the cheaper sale.
5. Buy items when they are on sale and you have a coupon for the item. This greatly increases your savings. Especially, if the store double or triples manufacturer coupons. For instance, if you buy an item on sale for $1 and you have a coupon with a face value of 50¢. If the store doubles the coupon, the coupon’s value is now $1 making the item free!
   

These are guidelines. Once, You implement a system you will see what works best for you!
