6 Tips To Take The Cringe Out Of Your Grocery Reciepts

Does your grocery receipt make you cringe? Do get weak in the knees when you examine your printed grocery receipt

? Not only are the prices of groceries going higher and higher every week, but the price of gas sky rockets nearly daily. If you live rurally that adds to your cost of grocery shopping, as well.

What can you do? You have to eat and feed your family, don't you? Here are several things you can do:

1.Clip coupons. And you will say the Sunday Paper doesn't have what I want, where I can shop or for the kind of store we have here. Take heart there are other alternatives. Go to places on line where you can print coupons you will like and use. There are lists for coupons for groceries, drug store items, restaurant meals and more. It's just about knowing where to find them. A Google Search or sites like www.stockpilingmoms.com will have printable coupons for you.

2.Plan your meals. Once you have the coupons, then what? Don't head out to the store right away. Take a few minutes to plan. Plan your meals for the week. Plan which store or stores you will shop. It is not a good idea to chase from one store to the other to take in their sales. Choose a store that will honor your coupons and that has items on sale that you can use. The key here is CAN AND WILL USE. Don't waste time and money one a great coupon that will never turn into a meal for you.

3.Look for seasonal buys on food as well as clothing, back to school items, furniture, office supplies whatever you need.

4.Be brand flexible. Just because you always buy Kraft Mac and Cheese doesn't mean you always have to. If the regular brand is more expensive be willing to try something else. Sometimes coupons will be for any item say mac and cheese, buy the cheapest and reap twice the savings.

5.Read the fine print on coupons. Which brings me to reading the fine print on your coupons. You may be pleasantly surprised that size is not mentioned or it says any size get a trial size if you aren't sure of a product.

6.Buy in bulk. Do the math- will a large package of hamburger, when divided into meal portions, cost less than say a one pound package? You can always freeze those that you divide. If the portion cost is cheaper, its a money saver. Plan to use it in a reasonable length of time so it doesn't lose its nutritional value.

There are many, many ways that you can make coupons pay off planning your menu, writing a shopping list, bland flexible buying, buying in bulk and many more. For more ideas go to read How to Coupon Successfully at www.eatingcheapandhealthy.com/Coupons .
