Coupons: Save Money with Coupons

Here are sites to check out for coupons before you go shopping.  I'm not so good at doing this each time but I'm going to try and start doing a better job before grocery shopping.  Here in CA the store adds come out on Sunday and run through Saturday.  The grocery adds come out on Monday, start on Wednesday and run through Tuesday.  Every Monday I write down what is on sale the upcoming week.  Since I do this every week, on Tuesday I know what is going off sale and what will be doing on sale so I can compare the two adds and see when it makes more sense to go to get the best sales.  Today I went through the sites of my three main grocery stores (Lucky's, Safeway and Nob Hill) and later today I will go shopping and see what I can save.  The plan is to not purchase things I don't need but on a weekly basis go through these three sites and print the coupons to save some money.  If this becomes a habit I will start looking through the other grocery sites and see what else I can save.

• Lucky's:  Local CA grocery store chain.
• Safeway:  Local CA grocery store chain.  You have to register and have a Safeway club card.  Once you have registered go through all three tabs (Coupon Center, Personalized Deals, You Club Specials) and then print grocery list.  These coupons are added to your club card so no need to hand them coupons, GREAT!
• NobHill / Raleys:  Local CA grocery store chain.  You need to register to print your coupons.

Here is a website you can use to do your grocery list if you go to multiple stores, Grocery IQ.  You need to sign up for an account but it is free.

BYOB: Bring your own bag and receive about 5 cents per bag: Lucky's, Safeway, Whole Foods, Target
