How to get lots & pay little?

[candym2012]

All of my local grocery stores they only double up on coupons no more than 50 cents. How can I still get alot of food with paying very little?

It may take some time and patience. Wait for things to go on sale, then buy the item with a coupon. If the item on sale is super cheap, and it's something you use all the time, stock up on it. There's a whole section here about how to stock up, how to store things, when things go on sale.

For example, my local grocery store had Goldfish crackers on sale 10/$10, in other words, $1 each. I had five coupons that were .35 off one, which my store doubled, so I only paid thirty cents for each package of Goldfish crackers.

I can't do that very often. I get coupons once in a while from QFC for free items. Maybe 4. Of those 4 I will be lucky if we can eat one of them. We have food allergies. I just give up. I can save a little money. But not much.
