It’s easy to lose patience and time trying to go from store to store on one shopping trip.
Here’s how I handle that situation: break up those errands! One day on my lunch break, I might go to Kroger or CVS. Another day on my way home after work, I might go to Meijer or Rite Aid.

I use the Grocery Game too and love it. Coupon Mom is a little too much work for me to deal with, so I just go straight for the paid service. I buy 2 papers per week and have found it to be an excellent service.

Great post!

I wonder the time, gas, and energy spent driving to multiple stores is worth the savings? Personally, I know that I would pay more to have one store carry everything I want. I often use the web to make suggestions and get them carrying more things that I like. It works surprisingly well.

Some stores will double the value of your coupons up to a certain amount. Both Publix and Bi-Lo will double your coupons up to $0.50. Any coupon higher than $0.50 stays at its face value. So If I bring in a $0.40 I actually get $0.80 off.

What is this about doubling coupons?? I like the sound of that.
