“I’ve been saving at least $100 a week on groceries since my first son was born 21 years ago,” Nelson says, “That’s a total savings of over $110,000, which was enough to pay for him to go to college.”
CouponMom.com has been around for 14 years and they know stocking up on grocery items is one strategy to cutting grocery bills, but it isn’t necessary for a typical family to have extreme stockpiles. Items expire and they also cost money, even when they are a good deal. Nelson says, “Change your shopping mentality: instead of buying items when you run out, watch for bargain prices on products you want and buy them when they are on sale.”
The key is to focus on meal planning and set a spending limit using the CouponMom.com “Strategic Shopping” method. This method combines sale prices with store promotions and coupons, helping any shopper achieve dramatic savings on healthy items their family needs. The website offers a “Grocery Deals by State” section which includes deals at thousands of supermarkets across the country.
Start 2015 the smart way. “The couponing world has tightened up,” says Nelson, “now our members are paying closer attention to stores’ policies, going in as smarter shoppers, and still getting their groceries for less than 50% of the store prices.” Nelson says if a family knows some simple strategies, they can cut their 2015 grocery bill in half, too.
