We eat an all organic diet and are vegetarians. Organic foods can almost never be purchased with coupons. A great way to save money on food,that wasn't mentioned,is to grow it yourself!We live in the city,but we are members of a community garden,and on a small patch of land,we grow our veggies. Primarily,we grow tomatoes. We make sauce and jar it which saves us a ton,since we eat a lot of pasta,and the taste is so much better! Anyone can grow tomatoes, they are so hardy. Another tip:Make it yourself!We make our own veggie burgers instead of buying the frozen variety,and then freeze them to last us a long time,saving us a lot of money. Make your own bread,it's so easy and much cheaper than buying from the store,and it's healthy,unlike wonder bread(don't you wonder what the heck you're eating?). Skimping on food is skimping on your health. Healthcare is too expensive in this country to not be careful about one's diet.

I'm one of those crazy savers! And I learned it all @ www.hotcouponworld.com!! It is so worth it. I just wish the stores around here did triples, but alas no :( Seriously, if you join, you could save thousands of dollars a year just at the grocery store. CVS is a whole 'nother story. Ha, Ha!

I work in a grocery store and when we have the triple coupon weeks all the crazy savers come out. The have books full of coupons organized and save tons of money. I am pretty good at sticking to a list and buying what I think I should get. There are some very good tips here and I may try out the new ones I havn't heard of before. These are some great tips.

At least, that is how it is where I live. Also, #4 is so right on and has gotten me a number of times. I like to prioritize my list with items grouped according to location in the store, which does get me out faster.

I wasn't aware of point #9, though that makes sense now. But the lists point is extremely important. This'll keep you from going home with twice as many groceries as you needed in the first place. If you can, try and write the list in a prioritizing manner with the most important items at the top and the least at the bottom. So after you see the prices you can rethink whether or not you really need that last chocolate bar or such. I also just did a post like this on my new blog.
