The free site started in 2000 and over 7.5 million members have joined to save money on their groceries. New technology developments make it even easier for shoppers to save more money in 2017.
“Consumers are focusing more on planning their trips to the grocery store to save money,” said Nelson, “Being able to go to the web to find the best grocery deals at their stores, print coupons, load digital coupons on their store cards, and even use their cell phone to get cash back on purchases helps save money without taking a lot of time.”
To streamline the savings process, Nelson recommends shoppers take advantage of the free tools available:
- Download the apps for your stores to get digital coupons, store coupons, and special discounts. Target’s Cartwheel app is invaluable, grocery stores apps enable shoppers to select digital coupons even while shopping, and drugstore apps have special store coupons. Using apps also cuts down on having to carry around multiple store loyalty cards, since they are built into the app.
- Print manufacturers coupons from home before shopping. CouponMom.has over 800 free printable coupons every month for popular brands of food, household and personal products. Printing a $2 coupon for an item you already buy is like printing cash.
- Use cash back apps to get high-value cash offers after purchasing products, which can be used on top of coupons. Offers include groceries, household items, personal care products, beer, wine, liquor and even retail stores. Apps with the most offers include Ibotta, Checkout 51, Savingstar and Mobisave.
- Use a grocery deals website like CouponMom.com to do shopping research for you. You’ll find a list of best deals by store, which matches sale prices with store promotions and all coupons and cash back offers available.
