Each Monday and Thursday, Patch finds the best deals at local stores for you. Using these deals can save your family more than 50 percent off of your grocery bill. It is easy and quicker than many think. 

If you are new to using coupons, simply keep your newspaper inserts each Sunday with the date on the outside cover. Come to Patch and find out teh best deals. Remember that just because something is on sale does not make it a great deal. Take a few minutes before you go out to shop to get the deals, get the coupons and save some money. 

The Mystery items at today is Publix Vanilla Wafers. Grab the coupon from the Thursday AJC and spend at least $10 before coupons at Publix and you can get it for a penny. if you do not have the coupon, ask your cashier if you need it. Sometimes they require it and sometimes they do not. It is worth a shot.

The sales this week are pretty low. Save the extra money from your grocery budget this week. The sales go on waves. Small sales where we buy less one week will soon lead to bigger sales where we will spend more than our regular weekly budget stocking up a bit. 

When you have the coupons and the extra spending money for an item that you use and it is on sale, buy extra. This will prevent you from paying full price later.
