groceries on a budget

I save coupons for name brand things that I normally buy but I don't use them for everything because I buy some store brand items that are less expensive even with a coupon. If I try to keep too many coupons I forget to use them!

We do use coupons. I love my coupons and cant wait until they get here on Sundays. If you use Kroger they will actually double them up to 1.00 so you get to save more... its like a game for me and my husband. We try to see how much we can save and then try to top the previous week. We usually end up saving between 20-30% on our grocery bill from perks adn coupons... (around $20.00+) It is fun

We shop at Aldis for almost all of our groceries. We also have a garden. I have frozen a ton of veggies from it. I only buy meats that are on sale. We eat alot of pasta and rice dishes to help stretch the meat further.I dont use alot of coupons since I rarely buy name brand products.

I have started using cupons that I print online, I can find a cupon for just about anything online. I have also started shopping for lesser brands since they are on sale a lot.

We really don't use coupons. And we really don't save on groceries either. Sometimes, I will buy store brand food items, they seem to be a little cheaper than the name brand, but it has to taste as good. I just figure we'll always be spending a lot on groceries. We have to eat, so if we save great. But if not, that's that I guess.
