I keep processed foods, including snack foods, to a minimum. Drinks? Just milk. And I shop where meat is on sale. If there's a deal, I stock up. I use coupons too, but not as much as you might think. I find much of what they advertise is processed foods that I'm trying to avoid. So for me, it's a four step process. 1) Check circular. 2) Look for coupons. 3) Meal plan. 4) Shop and save. <br />And I use my American Express Blue Cash Preferred for 6% back.Mikehttp://www.mortgagefreeby30.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363907321745308620.post-46073425637062887992011-08-10T11:30:09.808-04:002011-08-10T11:30:09.808-04:00Great!

I have recently gotten into couponing (nothing extreme or anything) and I usually save aroound 50 to 70% each time I go to the grocery store and I am so happy! I usually spend around $150 on groceries. We don't buy a ton though, we eat out a lot.Michellehttp://senseofcents.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363907321745308620.post-36930170438687331132011-08-10T10:10:38.503-04:002011-08-10T10:10:38.503-04:00What I do, since I'm a meat eater and will nev...What I do, since I'm a meat eater and will never go without it, is buy the bulk packages at the butcher counter which usually saves me $.50-$.60 per pound. There is also an Italian market that sells stuff really cheap like 10lb box of frozen tilapia wrapped individually for $1.99/lb compared to $5-$7/lb at the supermarket. They also have great deals on meat and poultry if purchased in bulk so I've bought chicken breasts for as low as $1.39/lb there. Plus I never buy prepackaged foods, or junk food so that helps keep my grocery bills down too.Eric J. Nisallhttp://www.dollarversity.comnoreply@blogger.com
