COUPONS... Instant Savings. Use them and save BIG!


Why pay more than you need to for your household food and supplies?  Whether printed online, cut out of the newspaper or viewed on a free iPhone app, coupons can save your family lots of money.  Especially, when you are raising children with hearty appetites.  Our family tries to clip coupons, print coupons online, utitlize coupon apps plus watch for price matching opportunities on a weekly basis.  It is well worth the time.

Another resource is your weekly Sunday newspaper.  Be sure to check both online and the print newspaper for coupons and special offers. 

Also, if you own a smart phone, be sure to download a coupon app.  Will save time, paper and possibly even more money.  We prefer the Coupons.com app. 

Our family tried shopping at many of the local grocery stores, with coupons.  However, Wal-mart Super Center offers price matching and accepts coupons.  If you find an item advetised for a lower price at another store, Wal-mart will match the price.  Just make sure you mention this when you are checking out, have your back up ready (sales flier or advertisement, etc.).  The cashier with deduct the difference in price.  Please be careful, especially with meats, etc. it must match exactly.  Also, they are no longer price matching most of the produce.  This is due to the size differences at many stores.  However, it does not hurt to ask.  It is a new change and not very clear yet.  The grocery store fliers are included in your Wednesday and Sunday print newspapers.  The big plus, this makes a huge difference when buying your meat products.  In addition, some of my guys' daily lunch products, paper products and toiletries can be found for a lower price, saving our family lots of moolah on a regular basis. 


All of these options can help your family achieve maximum savings.  It takes extra time in the beginning.  However, once you get your rhthym down and figure out your favorite coupon sources, it does not take near as long.

Started this a couple of years ago.  Our coupon savings continued to increase year over year.  Cannot wait to see the SAVINGS this year.  The boys' are growing up way too fast and eating us out of house and home...  LOL

Helpful Tip:  Evernote iPhone app is great for storing your grocery list and reminders.  Download on your desktop as well and sync between the two.
