I like these coupon blogs. They really know how to get the most for your coupon.

Our Kroger doubles coupons up to 50c.  I would check if your grocery stores double coupons.  I also try to only buy what's on sale AND with a coupon.  I ask for discounts in the produce dept. if something doesn't look great.  Also, shop your farmer's market!  Eating in season is key!  We have a few herb and tomato plants.  It's amazing how much they can produce!  Hope these ideas help!  ps-our grocery stores don't accept printed coupons from a computer.  Too easy to make lots of copies, I guess.

Thanks for the kudos on my blog  http://couponstacking.wordpress.com.  We work hard to keep it up to date, and glad that you're getting some mileage out of "stacking the deals".  I find a lot of my freebies thanks to the Betty Crocker internet coupons, as well, and donate the "Box Tops" to my stepchildren's school. 
Thanks again,

Hi  Hugery, Here is aomething to think about before using that coupon, are you really saving money? The reason that I ask is this: Sometimes when I've started to use a coupon I found that another product or store or generic brand was cheaper, even with the coupon discount. i used to use a "lot" of coupons, but since I started shopping a discount stores , I often save even without them. But that dosen't answer your question. Call companys and ask for coupons, check your local adds to see whats on sale and use those coupons, go to stores that double/triple the face value of the coupon.  Granna2

One other Thought on coupons.  This is how I save in my community.  The store I frequent doubles and triples coupons.  Coupons come out in our Sunday paper.  I clip all items I  MIGHT use.  The brands in Sunday's paper go on sale on Wednesday with the new store circular.  I shop sometime between Wednesday and the following Tuesday with the previous Sunday coupons.  I can often save quite a bit of cash this way over the store brands.  However, if the store brand is still cheaper, I purchase it and leave the name brand coupon on the shelf for someone else to  use.  ldbayou

I do the same things cut out coupons for all the products I may buy and compare prices if store brand is just as good as name brand and is still cheaper even after he coupon I buy store brand, but some things I have to get name brand because I just prefer it over store brand no matter how cheap. So then I just use the coupon that I have
