Food Coupons and Retail Coupons Help Save You Money

It’s good to keep your food fresher longer, but using food coupons is just as good to get your food cheaper . It was a time that we would just go to the supermarket and catch a couple of sales with no food shopping coupons. I don’t know if we have gotten smarter or if the cost of living makes us shop differently but know we don’t shop without our grocery discounts.

It’s a wonderful thing when the cash register at the supermarket shows $84.27 and after food coupons $62.84. Compared to a true savings expert these savings are small. An example would be my niece she has actually had a grocery cashier give her money back. That's what I'm talkin about.

Now couponing has developed from a hobby to an exact science of savings. There are hundreds probably thousands of websites that not only provide you with food discounts, but also for retail stores, electronics distributors and much more just print coupons online.

I’ve received considerable discounts just by searching for internet discount codes from particular stores or manufacturers and . An example would be last Christmas 06 my son wanted an XBOX 360 premium console it is a standard $399, I was able to find a Computer Retailer that had a $100 rebate, on an item that usually does not have any discount whatsoever.

I actually found the above discount after searching the internet for about 30 minutes, this search was definitely worth my time. You don’t have to worry about this because I’m going to give you a headstart.

You will find a number of internet coupons for major retailers online. My co-workers and I always let each other know about major discounts and even freebies for items located in major department stores or restaurants in our area.
Everyone knows the most common ways to get food coupons and retail coupons or accumulate them we just want to give you some more coupon tips.
1) Call manufacturers' 800 numbers (often found on the packages of your favorite products) to request coupons. Up to 35% of manufacturers only send coupons upon request.

2) Make food coupon-clipping a family affair--it's a great math and savings lesson for the kids. You can involve them in the process and let them 'earn' the coupon savings in lieu of an allowance.

3) Plan your families' menu using food coupons

4) Use coupons in conjunction with loyalty/frequent shopper cards from your local retailers.

5) Print coupons online, this is so easy and there is a vast amount of information on the internet.
