You have to be a coupon clipper. Keep a folder of all the weeks coupons that come in your paper and save them. I have 3 subscriptions to our weekly Sunday paper and keep them all in a folder until I need them.
Try to combine your grocery stores advertised specials with the manufacturers coupons and if you're lucky enough to have a store that doubles coupons, more often than not you are getting paid to take the item off their shelves.
Also, you have to become a member of a warehouse, (Sams or Costco). Great place to buy in bulk and all your proteins are usually sold in break cases, (steaks, ribs, Chicken, etc.). After doing this now for 4 years, I REFUSE to pay retail for anything.
Happy Shopping!
