As an owner of a business that teaches people to find great deals, and adjust their grocery bill to fit their budget. I can give you some tips on saving money on groceries during these trying economic times. I have been an owner of a company called, "Freebie Coupon Corner" for the past 10 years which has helped several thousand people save money on their grocery bills. I have been named "Coupon Guru" and "Coupon Queen" by multiple newspapers, television stations, the Associated Press and the national radio programs, "Money Matters" and "Money Watch". I have spent the past ten years of my life researching the ins and outs of coupon clipping and many other aspects of grocery savings. Due to this extensive research, I know tips that many others ignore. These basic initial tips will set you on track to saving money on groceries.

Sales
A sale at the grocery store is one way that savvy shoppers can save money on their grocery bill. Sales help the store bring in customers and make more money. Recently however, stores have used their sale fliers to promote everyday prices. It is apparent to me that many grocery shoppers don't pay attention to the items regular price and will buy anything in the store flyer listed as a sale item. This is dishonest on the part of the store. However the fact the store can get away with this dishonest tactic indicates to me that many consumers aren't checking prices on what they buy in the store. Super Saver Tip Number One: In order to find a sale, you have to know what the regular price is at the store.

Great advice, Sarah. I agree with you that some supermarkets blatantly lie and make it seem as if an item is on sale when in actual fact the price has been increased and advertised as a "sale". I've seen that happen so often at my local supermarket that I have lost a lot of confidence in them. Sophie
