Weekly Grocery Ad

More and more shoppers today spend their time looking for that elusive weekly grocery ad that will save them money. With the economics today, it is no wonder that more and more people are looking for these types to bring to their neighborhood stores. Collect enough of them and shoppers can save significant money. In some cases shoppers have saved more than half the cost of the food by using the contents of the store weekly ads.

Stores know this. They know that shoppers will be hunting for their particular weekly grocery ad. They also know that shoppers will compare the deals from one grocery store to another and in some cases, shop at a different store if the coupons are better. This is why the grocery ad and coupon business has gotten to be quite competitive. A week will not go by that shoppers won't find ads in their local papers and online (another twist to a tradition).

WEEKLY

Sometimes the store will make it easy for the shopper and put out a weekly grocery ad or two which is not a coupon but rather just a cut in price. The shopper does not have to do anything except go to the store and buy the product. The discount will then be applied when checkout occurs. For many shoppers, these sales are the easiest for them. Additionally, some stores have loyalty cards that shoppers can present to get a certain percentage off their entire purchase. In some cases, these loyalty cards can be combined with the weekly ad for the most significant savings possible.

However, of all these, the weekly grocery ad is still the most popular. Grocery stores will put out their ad with a list of all the coupons they will honor for that week. In addition, shoppers will find two for one coupons and buy one get one free ads. It is just a matter of looking for them every week. Additionally, the store where the ad came from will not only honor other stores coupons but in some cases will give double the value of the coupon. This is usually true with manufacturer's coupons, not necessarily store ad coupons and discounts.

Do you find yourself sometimes buying things at the grocery store that you seldom or never use for cooking or baking? That's pretty typical with the way grocery stores market items with sales pitches like buy one get one free. It certainly seems like a great deal, but if you are not going to use it, it's really no deal. How can you put together your weekly meal planner with a grocery list that will work for your family and not cost you extra money? Here are some quick tips to help you get the meal planning process started.

Know What Your Family Will Eat

Most likely, you already know what foods your family likes and does not like, or at least you have learned how to disguise some of the healthy foods enough to get them to eat a better meal. You use your knowledge to create your weekly meal plan by utilizing that knowledge.

Create Your Grocery List

Once you have decided what you want to make for the week, you can begin putting your grocery list together. Look at your meal planner for the week and check your refrigerator and pantry to see what you need to make those meals. Now put what you really need on your grocery list.

Stick To Your Grocery List

It's not always easy to stick to your list when the grocery store has all those sales going on right in front of you. You will need to stay focused and buy only what you need to make the meals you have planned for the week. This will eliminate over spending at the grocery store.

The process of making your weekly meal planner with a grocery list should only take you a couple of hours one day a week. Sunday is usually a good day for most people to get this accomplished. The first time you go through this process, it might take a little longer because you are starting a new routine, but once you start doing it on a regular basis, it should go much faster for you. Track your progress over a few weeks and you will see that you are saving a lot of time and money with this system.
