My tip this weekend is to buy coupons on Ebay. One of the biggest ways I save in my grocery budget is by stockpiling. That simply means buying several of a certain item when it's at it's rock bottom price. For example, Wheat Thins were on sale for $1.67 a box a few weeks ago and I ordered 14 $1.00 off coupons from Ebay making them $.67 a box. Yes, that meant I had 14 boxes of Wheat Thins to store but my family eats them fairly quickly so I knew it wouldn't be a problem.
I recently bought TWENTY $2.00/off 2 Pepsi Products (6 pk. bottles) on Ebay. I paid $1.44 for the auction and essentially will save $40.00 off of something I would have bought anyway. I'm not a fan of buying ten Sunday newspapers for the coupons. I've done this before but it seems like I waste a lot of money and coupons. I'd rather just purchase lots of muliple coupons for things I stockpile.

I didn't realize you could buy coupons on Ebay. I guess it makes sense since most people would pay for an unwanted Sunday paper anyway. I might have to check into that! Thanks for sharing!
I do this fairly often, especially with things like cat food, pasta, cat litter, and other non-perishables. You save BIG and I've never had a problem with any of the vendors who sell coupons.
