Baby Diaper Coupons- Do You Buy Diapers Without Them?

As I scan down the coupons offered in this week's paper, I am not surprised to find numerous baby diaper coupon offers. Why? Every week there is at least one high face value coupon in the paper, and very oftern there are several.

Baby diapers are expensive items with high profit margins for retailers folks and they are big business. If you can get a new mom to become loyal to your brand, you have gained a customer with a need that must be filled every week without fail for 2 or 3 years. Cha-ching!

Just look at all the national brands vying for your business and willing to get your business by offering you diaper coupons for several bucks off:

Pampers, Luvs, Huggies, Drypers, Good Nights and Seventh Generation all offer regular coupons to help you save money on thier products.

My question to you is why would you every buy diapers without saving a couple of bucks a pop? Combine a high face-value coupon with a store sale and you have saved an average of 40-50% off the cost of diapering your little one's bum.

Don’t get me wrong, the warehouse stores do a good job of being fairly priced everywhere. Often, though, you can get a lower price somewhere else. It pays to watch your prices.

6. Check the dollar stores for grocery deals. No kidding, a buck still buys dairy, frozen food, cheese, lunchmeat, bagels, bread, tortillas, fresh procuce, and much more at my local store. Take a look around and see what is offered in your local area, you may be surprised.

If your piggy bank needs some extra cash, don’t forget looking to your food budget to help keep some cash in your pocket. Just a few changes will have you saving again in no time, grocery coupons in hand or not.

Grocery Coupons and Philanthropy

What do grocery coupons and philanthropy have to do with each other? I use piles of them to get either free or almost free food to donate to the food bank. All you need to do a good deed that will impact the lives of an entire family at once is a stack of coupons and your time.

Most people would not consider that philanthropy and grocery coupons would have a nice synergy, although they do. While I was in college we were supposed to spend several hours a week doing community service as part of our graduation requirement. Our service could be anything we wanted to do as long as we were able to document the hours and report our progress at the end of the semester. Heading a project with other volunteers was also desirable in showing your management abilities for a better grade.

I lived in a poor state at the time, where child hunger was a particular issue. Most grocery stores in my area offered double grocery coupons, so long story short, a community service project was born. I enlisted the help of several other students and we started out.

2436 coupons, $56, 110 hours of community service, and 1256 pounds of food later I knew my project was a success. My true education: you don’t need money to eat; grocery coupons can do that for you. You don’t need money to do a good deed grocery coupons can do that for you too. As for the concept of incorporating community service into my formal education, the project was a success. I am still working on my project more than fifteen years later.

Grocery Coupons and the Frugal Grocery List

I just looked at the calendar and realized that Use Supermarket Coupons is going on a year old now. Wow, time certainly flies and I have had a busy year. Taking a few minutes for reflection, I took a look at my stats and was surprised to see that my top visited pages were not the ones I would have expected.

Coming in third was the post I did on brining chicken. Anyone who is trying to make basic (and cheap) whole chicken into something speical should try brining. Brining is versatile and can be done with anything from just a simple salt solution to any one of hundreds of combinations of herbs added to the brine. The result of a simple and inexpensive process; your meats come out perfectly tender and juicy every time. Get the lowdown on a brining and make your next bargain meat something to rave about.

In the second spot was another oddball article, how to ripen bananas quickly. Apparently there are a lot of green bananas floating around out there that we are impatient to eat. I know it seems we are forever getting really green bananas at the grocery store.

Now we come to my most popular post ever…the frugal grocery list. This post gets more traffic than any other I have ever written and I can understand why. If you have not yet read the original give it quick once over and then ponder this question:

Can you still use grocery coupons to maximize savings with the frugal grocery list?

The answer is really both yes and no. If you take a look at the list you will see that there are quite a few items on it that you either will generally not find coupons for or that should be purchased from the bulk bins to maximize savings. That said you can use coupons on some of the other items and should when you find them. Next week I’ll be adding to the frugal grocery shopping list.

Do Cents-Off Coupons Make Sense?

I had a family member laugh me straight in the face yesterday for my complete obsession with frugal living. She blatantly pointed out that it simply is not worth her time to go through the Sunday inserts looking for “those little cents-off thingys.”

Oh really? Does it not matter to you that I am able to average 70% or more off my grocery bills by taking the time to either clip or print food discount coupons? I dragged out all my grocery receipts for the last few months just to prove a point. I tallied up the savings from my last few months and in the end my efforts had amounted to several just under a grand in savings my family. Still think cents-off coupons amount to just cents?

Think again! Cents-off grocery coupons mean hundred dollar bills in your pocket!
