Getting the Most out of Couponing

There are 2 essential things that go along with couponing. First you need to stock up on whatever is FREE or very cheap for that week. I always look at the expiration date and calculate how much my family will go through by then. Of course, if it is FREE or very cheap you may also want to get some to donate to your local shelter or food bank.

The other thing that will really help you save money in your grocery budget is to plan your menu for the week based on what is on sale. This week I got potatoes and mayo for very cheap so for Princessa's bday party I will be serving potatoe salad and polish sausage dogs, which were also on sale. You'll be amazed at how much money you will save by doing your meal planning this way.
