If you have surfed our site, you know our Team is dedicated to helping families through sharing our personal experiences and what has worked for our family. Well because our family has recently been getting our budget more in line I thought a series on saving money might also be helpful for our readers.  Trying to save money in any economy can be a struggle, but especially today it is nothing short of overwhelming! So this week I am going to offer some strategies our family has used to save money. If you have any tips we can share please comment.  Well the first topic I thought I would cover is Saving When You Shop…for groceries that is!

Couponing sites like Jill Cataldo and Couponmom.com can walk you thru the process of how and when to use your coupons to reap the most benefit.  Sites like Mashup Mom give up the scoop on all kinds of deals at all kinds of stores. There is a wealth of information on-line about the “how to’s” of couponing.  So take a look and get started. The majority of coupons come from your Sunday paper.  It’s worth it to buy the paper just to get the coupons.  Also, there are so many coupon sites out there for you access and print coupons directly from your computer.  You can even go to the official site of your favorite products to get their coupons directly.  Signing up with your email allows them to send you special offers.
