[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the grocery store he works for have an app?
For example, if you have the Safeway app, you get the regular club deals + the Just 4 U deals (personalized deals) and then you combine both of those with manufacturer's coupons. I add the "coupons" from the app onto my card and then use coupons when I can. Safeway also doubles manufacturers coupons under $1. I try to meal plan according to what is on sale. 
I stock up on things that won't go bad or that we use often. I can also make a double-batch of something and freeze the extra (like chili, tomato sauce, soup). 
Buy a family-size pack of meat when it's on sale, divide into portions, then freeze for future use. [/quote]
Do most people think these store sales really help them save money? I found that I could buy things at Trader Joes much more cheaply than at Safeway, and that the Safeway app just convinced me to spend gas money and time going thereto save $1, and then have to go somewhere like Trader joes to get my other items (e.g. Fresh mozzarella, leeks, frozen organic berries, hummus) at a decent price. I gave up on the store app, and I also have up on coupons because they seem 90% geared toward processed foods we don't buy anyway like chips, hamburger helper, Capri suns, etcetera.[/quote]
