Let's say that each week, you could find 5 items on sale for $.25 off each item. In a year, you will have saved $65.00. In reality, most sales are for a lot more than $.25 off so the savings can be even greater. You can also combine manufacturer coupons with store sales. In fact, the weekly coupons generally mirror store sales. When your local supermarket puts Frosted Flakes on sale, there is a good chance that the Sunday paper will also have a Frosted Flakes coupon.
