I'm just now learning that it makes sense to use coupons when the item is on sale to maximize savings.

I would love this. I have a simple version that I use now, but would love to have something a little more sophisticated.
I would love to have this!
I've wanted it since you first posted about it!
I don't have any saving tips yet - I'm trying to develop some good habits, though! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, I need more savings tips! The only one I use regularly is to grocery shop alone, AFTER a meal. Bringing the kids or shopping while hungry are sure-fire ways to add lots of impulse buys!
Thanks for the contest.

Great savings tip? Hmmm....this is something I'm sure you know, but I have found a lot of my friends don't. At Target, for example, I use manufacturer's coupons WITH Target coupons and end up getting a lot of great stuff for cheap or free.

I'm working on getting my grocery costs down, this will help!
Wow- whoever made this went to a lot of work. My favorite tip is check the prices even when you are using a coupon- often the generic item is still less expensive!
Thanks so much for the AWE-some Give-oh-Way!

Sounds great!
i'm discovering that couponing makes a huge difference.
I have discovered that menu planning saves me from wasting groceries.

Thank you for the giveaway!

I'm such an organized person and I use spreadsheets all the time - this would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway.
Buy in bulk! When it's on sale and you have a coupon- stock up!
I say this & I need an extra freezer.. :)
This is right up my alley. We are trying to save every penny we can.
I would love this! I use coupons for items that are on sale for extra $$$ saved.
Shop only the sale items and use coupons, visit Money Saving Mom to get ideas for the best deals and other websites that feature your particular grocery store.
Also, my store will break up produce packages. For example, today I bought ginger root but I didn't need a whole bunch (there were about 4 stalks in the package) I only needed one piece to mince some ginger for a recipe. So, I asked the produce employee to repackage it and change the price sticker. That way, I'm not paying for more than I can use and I'm saving money.

We recently tried cooking a million meals in one day and then freezing them. It's exhausting, but I think in the long run it's saved us a lot of money on groceries.
Stock up when stuff is on sale. It may seem a little expensive to buy 5 jars of pasta sauce at once when you only need one, but if you eat it almost every week like the do, then buying it on sale and not having to buy some for the next few weeks pays off! Same goes with diapers. If I can find a good enough sale, I'll buy a ton. It's a big hit to the wallet, but then for the next few months I don't have to buy any and if feels great!
I would love this but do not have Microsoft Office. Will this load on Open Office?
My best money savings tip is to join Hot Coupon World dot com!!!!!
My tip is to shop with someone when visiting the club stores like costco or sams club. If someone's holding you accountable, you're less likely to impulse buy a $10+ item.
I'm learning to plan my meals around what's on sale at the grocery store.
I try to never pay full price for anything especially food I buy on sale and w/ a coupon if available.
Thanks for a great giveaway.

For me organization is key. I need to be able to look through my coupons to see what matchups I can make with ads. And then keep track of how much I spend each week to be sure I really am saving money!
I've learned that I can't go shopping when I'm hungry or I'll buy way too much!
meal planning has saved us lots of money!
I am learning to save money and how to shop smart
I use coupons, and try to match them with items that are on sale, for even more savings. I never shop hungry. I always write a list, and try to stick to it.

I'm just learning at all this, but I try to match up the grocery store sales with my menu plans and what I have in my cabinets and shop from there.
My savings tip is using up things out of my freezer and pantry and trying not to buy many things at the grocery store this week. Plus I need to make room for venison because I have a husband and teenage son who bring them home :) Also, on your blog, I used to be able to see your savings on the left and now it only shows the first digits or so, would that be my computer?
What a great idea. My biggest (and lamest) money saving tip when going to the grocery store is...don't go grocery shopping hungry!
Thanks!
Awesome idea! I am not so great at making spreadsheets. Thanks for the giveaway!

My biggest money saving tip is not to take kids to the store with me!
Thanks for the giveaway

I have to agree with the above...the best way to save money is to leave the kids home!!!
I always combine sales with coupons. Sometimes you'll get items for free!

I use the grocery game and love it!!
My biggest money saving trick is to shop without my husband. With him our grocery bill is much higher than my solo trips.
This looks useful. I am a good shopper. Our Kroger puts marked down stickers on meat, dairy etc about 5 days before expiration. I live across the street, so it is not out of my way to go by every couple of days. I plan the menu around what I pick up cheap.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
My tip is to use coupons, but only if it is an item you will use. Don't spend extra money if you arent' sure you will use it.
thanks for sharing

Couponing, never go hungry, shop from your list - try to limit impulses unless they really are a good deal AND you really will use whatever it is. Check the ads, lots of times Target is cheaper than the grocery store on many items (like yogurt!).
I don't really have a great savings tip, except to buy on sale when possible, have a shopping list and try to stick to it and don't shop with your hubby.

Sounds interesting and helpful! I'd love to win this!
I am still learning frugal living but I have learned that it is best to use a coupon when an item is on sale to maximize the savings!

Interesting. I wonder if this would really help me save.

I save the most on groceries by using a pricebook and cooking from scratch.
I would love to try this. The more money I save the better! Thanks for the chance. :)
this looks interesting. i love couponing and grocery shopping
I've looked at your tracking sheet before and promised myself I would buy it once my new job started. My husband is finally on board with my frugal shopping!
