Great Deals on Halloween Candy, Free Salad Dressing

Save money at the grocery store without being extreme or having it be a pain.

If you want to save money at the market but do not want to spend hours cutting coupons or reading blog after blog to find the best deals, you have come to the right place. Every Monday and Thursday, Patch reads all of the sale ads and many many blogs to find the best deals. We do not encourage hoarding items but do suggest you buy an extra item or two if you have the coupons for it and will use or donate the items.

Simply keep your Sunday coupon inserts in a file folder with the date marked on the outside. Come to Patch and print coupons and quickly find the newspaper ones you need for the best deals of the week. These 15 minutes will save you a lot of money each month. Keep track of the savings and come back and tell us how much you save. We would love to hear from you, other than in the grocery store when you see me shopping alongside you, although that is fun too!
