9 Surefire Ways to Save on Groceries This Week

You're couponing like a pro!  You've got a good start in January and you just need a few more savings tips to help you reach your goals. Keep redeeming your coupons and doing your matches each week.  Let's expand your savings beyond your coupons to give you just a bit more.   Here are 9 more ways to save while shopping. 

  1. Open up your cabinets.  Check out all the items you have already and plan your meals with just a few add in ingredients.  Sometimes you'll find a couple tins of tuna pushed to the back, or a stray can of green beans.  Plan your means with what you already have.  
  2. After you have inventoried your cabinets and fridge, go ahead and finish your weekly meal planning.  Make a full list and stick to it. Be sure to include all the meals you plan to prepare, and do not include meals you are not planning.  For example, I do not fix a meal on Mondays.  We have dance class and hectic schedules so we have left overs from the weekend on Monday nights.  
  3. Here's an easy one.  Leave the kids at home when doing your shopping.  they tend to want more items not on your list and distract you from making good comparison shopping.  
  4. Prepare your own foods.  Shortcuts are convenient, but do cost you more. Do you really need to pre cut celery?  Can't you cut the ends in less than 5 seconds?  It's the same for Cooking sauces, blended spices, or pre packaged roast kits. You cand save yourself a bundle if you plan to just do a bit of your own preparations.  
  5. Review the store brands.  Oftentimes, grocery stores will sell generic brands or store-brand versions to your favorite brand goods, and they will be much cheaper.  County Maret has plenty of store brand options.  We even have our own line of organics called Wild Harvest. 
  6. Take advantage of the frozen foods sales.  You can find some great deals that will easily keep for the next 13 weeks. When you see a good sale in frozen that matches your meal plan stock up.  The week to week usage of these goods at a discount will lower your grocery bill for weeks to come.  
  7. That leads to saving up on seasonal produce.  If grapes are on sale this week, and apples are sky high, it might be time to buy grapes for fresh and healthy fruit this week.  Keep an eye on the produce section of your budget and what seasonal produce is coming up on sale next.  
  8. Start a price comparison notebook for items you buy on a regular basis.  Can you try a different brand?  What about comparison shopping sizes?  Can you purchase a larger package and split it for less?  Does it compromise freshness or quality?  Comparison shopping is a tactic that will save you money in future weeks.  
  9. Expand your coupon savings to all household goods.  Include regular household items like trash bags, tooth paste, laundry detergent etc.  Then take a look at your occasional household items like softener salt, cleaning supplies, or even movie rentals.  Use coupons for every item you buy for the home.

2017: Healthier and Budget Friendly

Do new year's resolutions have you reviewing all aspects of your life?  Are you considering a new exercise program?  Are you quitting smoking?  Spending more time with a loved one?  Or are you planning to work more?  How about deciding to be healthier?  What about deciding to save more money?  Well if those last two ideas peeked your interest, you are in luck.  I too want to be healthier and save money.  



2016 is here, and it's time to find ways to feed my family of five with healthier meals and snacks of high quality freshness  Many people do not know you can save money while buying fresh foods, healthy snacks and high quality organics  I do it all the time, and in the next year I plan to do even more  Join us as I share ways to save and be healthy with your grocery shopping. 


1.  Use coupons!  There are websites for organic items.  Print these out on a regular basis and include them in your coupon stash.  Some of the best sites are:  Mambo Sprouts, Saving Naturally, Organic Deals, Organicfoodcoupons, Healthesavers,    You can also email companies direct and ask for coupons for products you wish to buy in 2016.  

2.  Do some meal planning.  It helps when you know exactly what you will need this week to prepare meals and how you can best utilize the exact amounts your family wants.  Write it all down!  It's old fashioned, but it works. Writing your meal plan will keep you on track and help you sort out what you really need, versus the items you want.  

3. Stop wasting food.  We over prepare many meals.  Take a look at your dinner table after your next meal. How much of the food is wasted?  If you only use half a jar of organic spaghetti sauce per meal, find a way to preserve the other half instead of fixing it all at once.  Your freezer is your friend.  Plus when you can use "Halves" of items you already have a meal planned for next week.


4.  Stock up on organic items when they are on sale.  It may seem simple, yet can save a bundle.  If you see your favorite brand of yogurt on sale, and it's shelf life lasts more than a week, buy it for the next few weeks.  You will see your savings add up.  All of a sudden you can find an additional $10 per week for pricey snack items like roasted almonds in your budget. 

5.  Cut it up yourself.  If you want free range chicken, then do not pay extra for it already cut.   Get out your butcher knife and chop chop chop! The same applies to the produce department.  Celery and true peanut butter make a great health snack, but cut the celery sticks at home to save some money.

We'll be adding more ways to save and be healthier in 2016. These are the top 5 ways you can save and get your family fast tracked to a healthy and inexpensive new year.  Stay tuned to our blog all year.

Coupon with us in 2017

Savings habits are hard to establish. Hard like when you first decide to not order soft drinks in restaurants and order water to save a few dollars, or deciding to only fill your gas tank according to the gas app on your phone.  You will forget!  You'll be half way to filling your tank before you pull your phone out. Or your waitress will walk away to get your $2.56 drink before you can realize that for your family of 5, you just blew $13 on 60 ounces of "who cares". 


It will take about 90 days to get to a point where you always remember to check your phone app before going to the grocery store.  We have spending habits that work the same as our savings habits.  Yet, this is the future of coupon clipping.  It's time to  serious about saving money with your phone and computer.  You will need to have your apps loaded and clipped so you can redeem all your digital dollars.

Yo may be wondering if it's worth it.  It is worth it!  There are hundreds of offers on apps like Ibotta for products you purchase each week.  HUNDREDS.  Your My County Market App has items that are not commonly found on traditional coupon sites.  Look for produce coupons on both apps. I've saved on tomatoes, bananas, even garlic.  I have been buying salad kits for the family weekly off the County Market app. You definitely can save extra money with the apps, no doubt about it.

You'll need to establish this habit so that it becomes part of your routine.  To do this, you need to connect it with another habit you already have established.  For example, is there a habit you have on Wednesday that allows you a few minutes to prep your phone?  For me, it's Wednesday morning after the kids are set to school.  I have a window of about 20 minutes before my day begins.  This is when I make a cup of coffee and check my daily to do list.  This is already my routine, so I'm going to tie this new behavior to an old one.

After coffee, and with my to do list review, I will click on the apps and put digital coupons in my wallet.  It will only take a couple minutes, but it will be set before I reach the store.  That's it!  It's on Wednesday, the first day of shopping week, and when offers are renewed.  It fits with my already scheduled routine.  And, it will save me money and become a new habit.  

Wednesday is your best bet for establishing a new savings habit.  Try to find an already existing habit on this day you do every week.  Look for habits like picking up  kids from soccer practice, lunch plans, favorite TV show schedule.  Before you know it, your app shopping will be second nature.

Get Your FREE Coupons

 One of the best things you can do to save yourself both time and money is to learn to use the free online coupon trading boards.  I use them frequently.  This week I picked up some great meat rebate forms and some fresh chicken coupons.  To use the boards, you'll need to create an ID for yourself and learn the terminology.  It's easy!



Some of my favorite trading boards include:
 
There are many terms used in Couponing.  To follow message boards and conduct trades you will need to know them.  Here are a few:
· MIR is a Mail in Rebate.  It can be for a new product offering, a satisfaction guarantee, or an alcoholic based rebate.
· OYNO = On Your Next Order
· OYNSO = On Your Next Shopping Order (Catalina coupon)
· TMF = Try Me Free
· FAR = Free After Rebate
· BLINKIES = In Store Smart Source Coupons.  These come in the little box with a blinking light.  They have sensors to issue a coupon based on movement. 
· BOGO/B1G1 = Buy One Get One
· CATALINA = Coupon printed at register after purchased
· CRT = Customer Receipt Tape.  Usually required when filing a rebate.  Must have the address of the store, and date issued to be accepted. 
· EB/ECB = Extra Care Bucks these are rewards offered by CVS.  Similar to Catalina’s at County Market yet offered as a Store Coupon.
· FAR = Free After Rebate
· GM = General Mills (Newspaper insert)
· MIR = Mail in Rebate

· OP = Out of Pocket
· PENNY PINCHER=County Market store coupons issued by mail monthly.  Look for them 3rd week of each month. 
· P&G = Proctor & Gamble (Newspaper Insert)
· Peelie = Coupon you peel off package.  Mostly found on bags and in the frozen department.
· RP= Red Plum (Newspaper Insert)
· RR = Register Rewards.  These are offered at Walgreens only.  They are similar to Catalina’s offered at County Market, but are Manufacturer coupons, and therefore can be redeemed at our stores.
· RAINCHECK= When an item is on sale, and they run out of stock, you can ask for a raincheck at customer service to lock in your price so that you do not miss out on the deal. 
· SS= Smart Source (Newspaper Insert)
· STACKING = Using stores allow multiple use of coupons – manufacturer’s & store coupons or rebates.
· PIGGYBACKING= using more than one stack to link a large group of items into one huge savings.
· TEAR PAD = A pad of coupons  near a product or on display. 
· WYB= When You Buy
