Ive found the best way to save money on groceries is not coupons. They are, however, a great supplement. $1 or $2 here or there. Some days I dont use any.
1) Shopping sales. Especially BOGO sales.
2) Buying a lot when its on sale.
Doing this I spend $100-150 a month on feed my boyfriend and I home-cooked meals 5 nights a week, multiple leftovers for lunch and breakfast on the weekends. Every package of meat in my freezer has an "on sale" sticker on it. Ive got 20 boxes of rice and pasta in my cabinet from when its been on sale. I buy fresh veggies weekly and make sure to put a paper towel in with the bag to discourage it going bad. I also substitute frozen veggies I can stand when necessary.
