I now use an app from my grocery store and shop online, having discovered that I am a more intentional shopper than ever before. When I first heard about the program offered at my local store, I balked at the $4.95 fee charged. Out of need after having surgery, however, I tried it out "just for a couple of weeks" until I got back to full energy level. Now I use the service regularly, every couple of weeks, for my major shopping. I've found that I save so much more when I shop from the comfort of my home, with my shopping list in hand, and the opportunity to double check if I truly need an item. A side benefit, I am buying less junk and processed food (often none), more savings and healthier choices, and I am more carefully selecting from several options offered. No longer relying on a particular brand, I am often choosing the less expensive store or a sale item. Finally, I've become a regular coupon user for the first time, thanks to the website's digital coupons. I no longer forget to bring the coupons with me when I shop; they are downloaded to my store rewards card and automatically applied to my purchase.

Use merchants credit cards for special discounts. Target Red Card gives 5% off every purchase plus they donate a portion to our school. Department stores send you special sales and coupon offers. Using the Costco MasterCard, SunTrust Visa or Aadvantage card on everything scores us cash rebates!

Also, do this when kids are small and you create a life-long habit.

Absolutely. We did this with our children, who are now 24, 28 and 31. Two out of three of them have told us that they have continued this habit (as much as possible with their young families). It does grow and it adds up, even for kids.
I always felt that it helped to avoid lots of small, wasteful purchases, because they were saving for things that they really wanted. 🙂
