Grocery and Craft Supplies Savings

Grocery Savings:

Fry's will currently triple coupons as well as accept any other store coupon. I saved $16 at Fry's just by clipping the $10 Safeway coupon out of the paper and printing the $6 Fresh and Easy coupon off their website. If you get the newspaper check each section carefully as they will have coupons through out the paper.

Magazines will frequently have coupons. Consider sharing coupons, get a group or just one other person, clip your newspaper coupons and trade the unclipped coupons, you can double or triple the amount of coupons that you *need*.

If you frequently donate food to food banks check your stores carefully and buy clearance items with a coupon this will maximize your donation. Most often these items will be free or just a few cents.

Craft Supplies:

Sign up for email specials from Michaels Crafts, you will frequently get 40%to 50% coupons. Check the Sunday paper Michaels will also accept some JoAnne's coupons. Michaels will not allow you to redeem 40% off coupons for Books but you can use JoAnne's 40% off coupons for books at Michaels.
