Coupons Saves Money on Food

Let’s face it–food is expensive. The average family spends just over 10% of their household income buying groceries–over $6,000 a year–and even while average wages have gone down, the price of food keeps going up. When you are just trying to feed your family that is a pretty scary prospect. That said, as more and more people are beginning to realize, coupons can be a great way to save money on food.

The grocery store is the most obvious place to save money with coupons. The biggest secret of people who save the most at the store are those who match coupons with "loss leaders" -- those heavily discounted items they feature in their ads in order to get you through their door.

Food is expensive these days, so grocery shoppers must be diligent in looking for bargains. Products cycle on a seasonal basis. Late winter and early spring are for allergy medicine and tissue deals. Late spring and early summer are the time to buy condiments, barbecue sauces, marinades, lemonade and grilling products. In July and August, look for back-to-school products, and in late fall, soups, oats, hand soap, sanitizers, cold remedies and tissues.
