almost free groceries
costs table
$66 of fresh ham and chicken, dog food and treats, even fresh produce, for under $10. You CAN Consistently Stretch Your Grocery DollarsIn summary, without the Costco purchase or money back from rebates, we purchased $451 groceries for $54. Three trips, three stores, within a ten day period, at a TOTAL SAVINGS of 88%! Include the Costco purchases and savings, and we have a grand total of $607 in groceries for $34 cash paid…or 94% savings! Four shopping trips, all within 10 days. No once in a life-time coupons. No planning months ahead, collecting up the best coupons, or even rain checks, for a single shopping spree. Simply a response to a recent request to document the savings I personally achieve using the information and methods I describe on this site. There were some good discounts, which we were able to maximize with good coupons.
There were also some not so good sales we were able to pass on, since we had reserves at home. These types of savings are widely available. The specific sales, coupons, discontinued items, and other discounts themselves may not be, but the techniques to find them and take advantage of them are. It takes practice, and patience, as well as some trial and error to find which techniques work for you, and fit in to your life style. You should NOT be able to achieve these savings immediately, any more than you should lift 300 pounds or run a marathon on your first day out. But you can do it. After all, you’ve got a personal trainer grocery savings trainer right here at this site.

Thank you for posting this aluable information. I have always tried to save even though I hae only had to purchase groceries for just myself at times. I enjoy entertaining and cooking for my family and clients and I can “splurge” someplace else if I “save” in another area. Do you hae a list of sites where you consistently get certain coupons and rebates and do these companies e-mail these to you after you have contacted them or do you need to continue to print them? Thanks for your help!!!!

Thanks for the example of how to save big – my grocery bill has doubled since we started trying to eat more organic/natural foods. I look for coupons and use them always, but have never seen any for the amounts shown. Can you follow up on the rebate given at the Costco, was that a store incentive or how did you get it? Thanks!

One thing I wished I knew is which stores will double without a restriction on the amount…
Most retailers only go to 1.00
It would be so much easier if they would actually double and not go up on the price when there is a 2 for 1 sale……..

We’ve done a few articles on where to find coupons. I’ll work up another one. For now, start with the Sunday paper, which often has coupon catalog “inserts” published under the names SmartSource, RedPlum, and PGBrandSaver. You can also look for coupons in stores, especially on promotional displays and in little machines located next to products. Also, be sure to check out websites for your favorite brands; they often have links to printable coupons, or to request coupons by mail.

I also want to know how and where you got the $176.21 in rebates. That is confusing as you did not explain.

I was really surprised you were able to come out ahead with cash back on that one purchase, I guess that was because of the rebate. Most stores will make sure you do not get anything for free, much less get cash back!
