It's a concept that's been around for quite some time-- using coupons.
But, in this turbulent economy, many people we spoke with said it's worth the time and energy to cut coupons out of newspaper circulars, print them from online sources, and organize them. According to Coupons.com, an average shopper who uses coupons saves about $40 a week on grocery bills for a family of four-- that's about $2000 each year.
To maximize your savings, consider coupon stacking using manufacturers coupons and store coupons. CVS, Target, Walgreens, and Rite Aid, are just some of the stores that allow you to use a manufactuers coupon (which can be found in the Sunday paper or on online coupon sites) and a store coupon (found in the store's circulars and sometimes in products themselves).
