Hi!
I am trying to cut down my grocery bill. Do any of you have any good websites where you get coupons? All the ones that came up tonight had nothing good. If you know of any other money saving plans let me know.
Thank you!!
bettycrocker.com has lots of coupons, also there is a pssst.com, where they actually mail you new grocery products to try. They send them in the mail with coupons to pass out to anyone you know. All you have to do is let them know what you though of the product...
Valpak.com, CoolClips,Coupons.com, Walgreens.com
These are the sites that I use.
I hope that this helps.

I use Refundcents.com to find wonderful deals. They have a hard copy magazine, but you can just pay for internet access if that's what you want. You'll be amazed at the "deal divas" of "coupon queens"that can get a lot of goods for next to nothing. They put together the Walgreens deals, make you aware of grocery store promotions, Target and Walmart deals etc. You can ask questions and get prompt answers from other couponers across the nation. They spell out the steps on how to save the most money. I love it!
I do not know if you shop at Target but Target.com has some coupons on their website.
Couponmom.com I think is another good one.
Sometimes even walmart.com has coupons and they have free samples of stuff too.
But to be very honest with you just buying the generic stuff I have saved alot of money.. They taste just as good and instead of paying a dollar for DelMonte Veggies.. I pay 44 cents..for the Generic.
We use the Grocery Game (www.grocerygame.com), and we LOVE it! We have gotten tons of stuff for free or nearly free (under $1). It is super easy to use and there are forums for getting advice and more coupon-using/money-saving ideas. If you sign up, would you please use put our e-mail address in the referred by section? You can contact me for it. Thanks! (You can get free weeks when you refer people, too.) If you do sign up, be sure to get at least 2 weeks' Sunday paper coupons before you begin. You'll need a small supply of coupons before you can actually use them.
We also use www.taylortownpreview.com, which often lists the store ads 2-3 weeks ahead. You can also use the "Find" feature on your toolbar and search for brand names and what ad they are in.
We sign up on the Kroger site to use their coupons, which you add to your Kroger card and just use the card at the store to redeem them. There is another site that clips coupons for you, and you request them (pay for the clipping, though, since you can't legally buy coupons.) I think they are called the CouponLadies.com. You can order as many as you need, I believe, and they mail them to you. My friend uses this in conjunction with the Taylor Town Preview and the Grocery Game, and she gets tons more stuff free than we do. This way, you can order them a week or more, in advance, and have plenty for your shopping.
Best wishes! It is SO addicting when you get stuff free or almost free. lol Although, my husband feels guilty sometimes, when we are walking out of the store with $80 worth of stuff for $7 or less. Have fun!
I clip coupons and also save any that I get in the mail- then I organize them in my handy little coupon organizer, customized for me at www.couponthego.blogspot.com and I always have them with me- my problem before was I would clip them, but never had them on me- this organizer fits in my purse (or diaper bag) so I always have it on me... Now I clip, exchange coupons with 2 other friends after I have clipped, clip the remainder of their coupons they did not use and then when I go to the store I get more products for the savings... CVS and Walgreen are great too bc you can stack your coupons with thiers and you wind up getting some things for FREE!!! The best thing is now I am organized and I match my coupons with the sales, put them to the front of my organizer and go shopping to SAVE!! Good luck!
I have something better than coupons.

www.HotCouponWorld.com. It's great.
I do the grocery game. Go to www.thegrocerygame.com. It has been amazing to come home with free items or items next to nothing. It is definitely worth the $1 free trial. After the first month it is $10 every other month.
thegrocerygame.com works well for me. I only use the sunday paper. the grocery game tells you where the sales are, then tells you which coupon you should have and what the rock bottom price is. I only purchase things that are 50% off or more. I always get tons of free stuff. Things like excedrin, toothbrushes, toothpaste,and hand soap. Do you know how to use CVS extra care bucks? The idea behind the grocery game is to buy it while it is dirt cheap (even if you do not immediatly need it) and store it because you will eventually use it. Can goods, frozen goods, paper, plastic....
I do not normally like the idea of stock piling but when your getting things soo soo cheap or free it only makes since.
feel free to email me if you want more info.

Check out Sprouts.com and their weekly/monthly ads. Wednesdays are double ad day.

not coupons but it could help!
You can also pick what you want a coupon for, go to that companys website and call or email them asking for coupons. 95% of them will send them.
Try couponmom.com. It's free.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but go to www.hotcouponworld.com and look in their online coupon database. You can find search for items you want to buy to see if anyone has gotten a coupon for it. It lists the source, like newspaper inserts, mailers, magazines, website, etc.
Maybe I missed it in the other post, but also check the grocery stores to see if the double, or triple coupons. I thought I saw at Kroger that on certain days, or up to a certain amount of the coupon the double it. Although sometimes you have to get the name brand item, most of the time the generic is just as good. Be careful going to Sam's Club or Costco, while some of their items will be cheaper if you buy in bulk, often times if you watch the sale ads you can get things cheaper in the stores.
The Grocery Game has been great. www.thegrocerygame.com Good luck!
www.thecouponmom.com is free
HI! I don't have time to read all the replies to see if someone recommended this but just in case....check out the grocerygame....google it but i'm sure it's something simple like www.grocerygame.com....my sil uses this (you just cut the coupons from the regular newspaper) and she has saved a ton of money. i'm going to start it soon too. she showed me a few of her reciepts and from those three she had over 60-70 saved after getting some things free, some for a good discount and some for a "stock up now" great price. hth!
I do the Grocery Game and I love it! Just get the Sunday paper, they have the best coupons compared to ones online. Also, sometimes during the week check your junkmail, companies will put good coupons in them. I don't clip coupons for the grocery game until I need them. I just keep the coupon flyers in a folder with the date on the front of when it came out, and then get my grocery list and clip them. It saves a lot of time clipping coupons and I save a LOT on my grocery bill every month!
I love www.moneysavingmom.com
I buy the double Sunday paper every weekend, it has double of every coupon in it and is only $2. And if you buy the entertainment passbook it has a lot of Kroger & Tom Thumb coupons.
I just wanted to say hello & good luck! I am in the process of doing the same thing, and new & learning at it, but I did get some VERY helpful tips from many people on this site, and one paticular that sent me even a spread sheet if you would like me to forward it to yo just PM me. I am also looking for somebody to share/trade/learn with if you in the Azle area and intrested let me know.
I hear the Grocery Game online is great for saving money. It wasn't for me, b/c I wasn't a great coupon clipper and didn't take the time to learn the "game" However, I know several people who have done this and say it saves them hundreds!!
Try CouponMom & google the words The Grocery Game. Both of these have great tips on how to take advantage of great savings and help you learn the sale cycles so you can also stock up when things are cheap.

I never use a coupon unless I really need or use the item and it's on sale...that way you get the most bang for your buck. Also...utilize sales and if they are out of something don't forget to get rain checks. I got one @ Albertson's for Bush's Black beans (we love em) and when they restock with fresh beans, I can Buy 1 Get 1 Free--no limit...you can bet I will stock up on that staple!
try calling the companies. if you rave about their products they are more than likely to send you a coupon(s), samples, etc. You can even ask and they are more than willing! Sometimes they have mailing lists and if you sign up, they will constantly send you coupons from time to time. It sure has helped us with cutting formula and diaper costs! Enfamil will even send you a sample... which also helps! Sometimes pampers will send you samples too, even if it is a few wipes, one pamper... anything helps! Beechnut sends coupons too, so you can save on baby food as well! Hope this helps!
I am not a coupon clipper or gamer. My purpose for adding my 2 cents here is.....
Keep in mind how much time you are spending on all the games, coupons, etc. For me......TIME = MONEY
I shop regularly at Market Street, Tom Thumb and Target. I check the weekly ad and go from there. I am not one to drive all over the place to save a $ because I am wasting gas and wear/tear on my car. My 3 stops are all very close to each other and on my way home.
You can find very reasonable deals at all of these places. If you are not close to my personal favorites....there are places closest to you where you can do the same thing as far as comparing the ads.
Good luck!

This lady is amazing. She saves 40-60 percent on her groceries! She was on Oprah a few weeks ago.
Her site lists others for printable coupons. She also has a page where you can enter in your location, & she'll list the stores in your area, what their sales are and if a coupon is available on that item....

check out couponmom.com. It is similar to thegrocerygame.com, but it is free to use.
They have links to websites you can print coupons off of, and also a database that you can search that has cataloged all of the coupons in the Sunday newspapers. That way, you simply save the booklets of coupons (redplum, smartsource) from the Sunday paper, and when you need a coupon, you search their database, it will tell you what date that coupon was distributed, and you go right to it and clip it then. It takes way too much time to clip all those coupons every week. This makes it very easy!
You can get better directions from the couponmom website - it might make more sense!
According to one of the tv shows, you can email the manufacturer directly. Some of them have coupons which you can then download.
Look at grocerygame.com. You have to pay a fee but it is a little over a dollar a week. You can do a trial month for $1. For the trial sign up for all the stores so you can compare them and decide which ones are best for you and your needs. The site tells you how and when to use coupons to get the best deals. Several of us at church have been doing this and everyone talks of the money they save.

My bills are about 1/2 of what they used to be. Plan a little and save alot!
I use coupons from http://promocodes2011.com/ and http://www.couponmountain.com/. This websites have really great coupons and have deals for many stores.
Hope this helps !
I can't tell you about coupons but I can tell you to have a shop at Hmart. It's a LARGE grocery shop on Josey Lane and you can look it up on the net. The vegetables and fruit are very fresh & your pocket will love it.
I do classes for coupons. If you dont want to do a class check out : couponmom.com this is free or the grocerygame.com this one u have to pay for. Most stores are not taking coupons from the internet anymore. They said they will start up later, but they have had to many fake ones.
As well as coupons, I have found that price matching works great! I look at all store adds on Sunday and Wednesdays and if you will shop at Wal-Mart they will match prices. I usually circle all the items that I intend to buy as well as make a list so I don't forget an item. By making a list you will know which ad to show the checker. It also helps to put all the price matched items together when checking out. If the lines are not long I will put a divider between the regular items and the price matched items. It can really save a lot of money as well as gas since you are going to only ONE store. Good Luck!
I get my coupons off of mypoints.com. Not only do they usually have good coupons, I get points for using them. They give you points to use toward a gift card that you can use on something else. You might check it out.
I just get the Sunday paper and go thru to see what they have, coupon-wise. We buy a lot of buy one get one free meats at the grocery store - that really cuts down costs, and you can stretch the dollars a little further. Albertson's runs those meat sales pretty often. Dollar Tree and $.99 stores have a nice selection of snacks - that are decently cheap, and they have a small selection of grocery items. Watch the circulars ( they're usually in our mailbox) the best deals I get are the $10 for $10 - sometimes I'll have coupons that I can use so I'll end up with 10 items for like $8 - not too shabby.
I bought one of those entertainment books from a school fundraiser and there are coupons in there for groceries - spend $75 and get $5 off at like Kroger and Tom Thumb.
Lots of times, CVS and others will put those coupons for $30 giftcards if you tranfser prescriptions - I know a lot of the grocery store pharmacies honor competitior coupons like that, you just have to surrender the coupon - but if you have rx's that you buy anyway, a $30 giftcard for groceries is a nice bonus.
I know Brookshires and Krogers frequent shopper programs send out coupons in the mail.
Hope this helps out.
get 2 Sunday newspapers and clip, buy only what is on sale and check the store sales, do not pay full price and I always shop at Wall Mart grocery, very reasonable.
Utilize the crock pot for beans, soups, roast, chicken... By utilizing the crock pot, sometimes there's left overs to freeze for later use.
Check out your DVDs, magazines, books, CDs via the public library. Cost savings will be tremendous! And of course return items on time to avoid late fees.
Think about a particular food/beverage item and say to yourself, what nutritional value is this for me. If you say none... then do not purchase the item. Your cost savings will go down from this process. Also, your health will improve!
