Proven secrets to save you 30% to 50% on your weekly groceries

Triple Coupons

Use as many triple coupons as your store will allow. The stores I shop at allow 5 of its own triples as well as 5 to 6 of its competitors. This means that you may be able to use up to 10 or 11 triple coupons. Use all that the store will allow for the largest coupons that you have under $1.00.

Where to get Triple Coupons
Although these can be difficult to find, they are worth the effort. Talk to your manager at your local grocery store. Ask if they produce triple coupons and how you can get some. You may need to get put on their mailing list or sign up for one of their store cards. Some stores print them on the back of their weekly circular so you may want to ask when that gets printed and how you can get one. My local store puts their weekly circular in with the Sunday newspaper.

Often, the weekly circular may get mailed out to everyone within a certain range of zip codes. One of my local grocery stores sends their circulars out this way and print their triple coupons on the back. I have a friend who lives in an apartment building and the post man does not include a circular in every mail box. Instead, he just puts a large stock on the floor of the mail room. Towards the end of each week, after everyone grabs a circular that may want one, my friend takes the rest and clips the triples. The few weeks that he hadn't done this, he found the circulars in the garbage. What a waste!
