Two worth-repeating!

Two small tips - but they are worth repeating! I know I've mentioned them before, and I'm sure this won't be the last time.
Plan your menus ahead of time! Before you head off to the grocery store, make a list of the meals you plan to prepare. If you shop every two weeks make a list of two weeks worth of meals. Take a look at what you have on hand and what is on sale in the weekly circulars from the grocery stores before you plan your meals.
Use Coupons! This is my favorite tip - it really IS a money saver! If there is a particular item you always purchase look for coupons. If an item is on sale and you have a coupon then buy that item. Don't use a coupon just because something is new or trendy, only use coupons if they will save you money.
