Loss Leaders

Did you know that you can save anywhere from 30-90 percent off of your groceries just by employing some tried and true grocery shopping secrets? Don’t be left behind. Make your food budget stretch as far as possible. Here is one the ways that you can save.

Shop the loss leaders

Grocery stores advertise sales for products with full knowledge that they will lose money on the deal. They do this to bring you into the store where you will spend lots of money on other things. They give you a little to get a lot of return. But you know what? You can use this marketing technique to your advantage. How? Read below.

Before you go shopping, take a look at the sales papers for your stores. You probably receive these papers in the mail, but they can also be found in your Sunday paper or online through the grocery store’s website.

Now, concentrate on the outside pages. The best deals, the loss leaders will appear mostly on that front page. There may also be some loss leaders on the back page and on that first internal page, but the front page is where you want to concentrate your grocery shopping.

Take advantage of items on that page that you need and stock up as appropriate. Later, I’ll tell you how to combine those loss leader items with coupons to get the biggest savings (sometimes you can even get your groceries for free!).

With a little bit of know-how and a few regular cents-off coupons, you can get some of your groceries for free. I’ll tell you how.

Feeding your family is a top priority that can be made more difficult with rising grocery prices. Fortunately, there are a few strategies that you can use to get some of your groceries for free. Let’s take a look at how those ordinary cents off coupons can get you free groceries.

Using cents-off coupons can almost be as though you were playing poker or bridge. You want to use that coupon at the exact right time to make it work the hardest for you and your grocery budget

The most valuable grocery coupons in my book are those that are anywhere from 75 cents to 99 cents off. I’ll explain a little more about this in a future post. For now, just gather those coupons up and read the following.

For our example, let us say that you have a coupon for 75 cents off of any size toothpaste, and your store normally doubles coupons. If you want something for free, wait to use that cents-off coupon until one or both of the following scenarios occurs:

The couple can be tripled. While most stores do double coupons, some stores only triple on certain days, while others offer triple coupons (to clip and combine with your regular coupons) every so often. Triple is the goal.

In this case, your 75 cents-off coupon is now worth $2.25 or the cost of a medium tube of toothpaste. Free! Or, if you can only double that coupon to $1.50, go for the sample size tube of toothpaste and get that one for free.

The item on the coupon is also on sale at the store.

In this case you can still double your coupon to $1.50. When toothpaste is on sale at 2 for $3 ($1.50 each), you’ll get it for free.
