I was just referred here by a JF member. Great site!!!
My wife actually started doing this just about a year ago and it has saved us literally THOUSANDS of dollars in just this amount of time.
The basic gist of everything is, you buy things that you would normally buy but at a good sale price combined with a coupon. Many times my wife comes home with things that are free to her getting a few cents back because the deal ended up saving more money than the product was being sold for.
Now you can do a lot of this yourself for free if you have the time but there are a number of sites and programs that keep track of the sales for you.
The best site we have found so far is Coupons, Grocery Coupons - The Grocery Game :: Home
The "list" you get every week tells you how good of a deal everything is so you know if you can stock up or just buy what you need.
Honestly we thought it was a scam at first but after my wife came home from her initial shop and told me she saved 40% we knew it was real! Now that we have a decent stockpile of food/ supplies built up we can now easily save between 75 to 100% every trip depending on what you buy.
Right now we probably have enough of everything to last us about 4 months (limited storage space).
Give it a shot! If you're not up for making all of your food this is the only way to go.
