At Coupon Mom we track the best grocery deals across all stores and match them with either printable coupons or newspaper coupons. When these sale items are combined with coupons and possible cash back offers, you can save almost 50% on items.  But why stop there when you can get free groceries EVERY DAY. Follow these steps below:

1. Go to our Free Deals List which shows you the “Free with Profit” items across all stores.
2. Once you find a deal at one of your stores, click on the store name in the first column to go to the full deals list for that store
3. Check to see which grocery items your store has on sale that week.  If you are looking for something in particular just select your State from this list, and then enter the item you want into the search box.
4. Go to that stores full list of deals and then look for items that are free, or free with a “profit.”  These items will be at the very top of the list.

In many cases, the “profit” from a few items will be enough to cover the cost of other deals that aren’t free. Let’s look at an example that is very typical:

Store A has Brand X shampoo on sale and Brand Y toothpaste on sale.  After combining coupons and cash back offers, the shampoo will give you a profit of $2 and the toothpaste will give you a profit of $1. Even if you don’t need or want the shampoo/toothpaste, you can buy it and donate it to charity or give it to a friend.  You keep the combined $3 profit, and apply that towards the cost of your low cost grocery items.  So if you need bread ($1.50) and cereal ($1.50) you can apply that $3 profit from the shampoo/toothpaste to get those items free.

This “buy it even if you don’t want it” strategy can work for any item you need to make it free.  So check the Free Deals list on the Coupon Mom site each week and see which stores have items that are free with a profit.  Check the store’s full deals list and see if your favorite items are on sale with coupons too, and buy the profit items to cover the cost of the items you need.

That’s Strategic Shopping!  Get more details on how to get free deals every week with our free Ebooks and How To Videos at CouponMom.com

We all love dollar stores especially when you need last minute items! Are you buying these 5 things below at dollar stores or are you overspending on these items elsewhere?

1. Balloons

Whether you need balloons to throw a party or for another special occasion this is the place to get them. Grocery stores can cost up to $5 per balloon and that can add up. For the cost of 1 balloon at a grocery store you can get 5 at a dollar store for the same price so that’s a no-brainer.

2. Wrapping Paper

We need wrapping paper for multiple occasions throughout the year whether it’s a birthday or an anniversary. It’s good to keep a pile in stock especially for $1 a piece. There is no need to rush to the store to grab some worth $5 when you can just keep a handy stockpile of wrapping paper for just a $1.

3. Seasonal Decor

Dollar stores always have aisles of seasonal decor. Buy a lot or just a few to put around the house and when you don’t need it anymore pack it up or toss it out and it only cost you a $1.

4. Office Supplies

Paper clips, pens, pencils etc. Some of your office supplies can add up when you purchase them other than at a dollar store.

5. Plastic Utensils

Great to have when planning parties. They make for easy clean-up!

Dollar stores have a variety of items to choose from but on your next shopping trip go ahead and pick up some of these items so you have them in stock. Here at Coupon Mom, we have a list of other great stock up items at Dollar Tree so check it out. We also match coupons to your local store and you can also print free coupons everyday to save on upcoming deals!
