This is the website I've been using to make my grocery lists for the last 6 months. I spend waaaaaaay less than I did at Walmart and I almost always buy the top name brands. I have a whole collection of stuff in my basement that I either got FREE or paid less than a dollar or 50 cents for. I was getting 5 sunday newspapers and pulling the coupon flyers out and dating the front of them and then just filing them. Then right before going grocery shopping I pull this webpage up on the internet and look at what's on sale at Smith's or Albertsons. Whichever one has the best deals is the store I went to that week. Usually its Albertsons. Then I look on the webpage and see what items I want how good a deal it is (I usually only get the best deals unless I really need something) and if there's a coupon for it. If there is I go to my filing box and pull out the coupons for that week (the website tells you what weeks paper it was in) and I only clip what I want.
I've told my mom and my cousin and they've started shopping the reg grocery store sales (not Walmart) But they can't use GrocerySmarts since its a website for just Utah, Nevada, and I think Idaho as well. So my mom liked the idea of getting stuff cheaper than walmart sooo much that she set up a coupon class in her ward (she's the relief society president) She got me in contact with someone in her ward who's a serious bargian hunter. She sent me a whole list of websites I can use:
www.thegrocerygame.com---the same thing as grocerysmarts.com but you have to pay and unlike grocerysmarts.com you can use it anywhere in the US

Sites to actually order coupons:
Good info resources:
I like the idea of ordering the coupons because you can get 50 of one coupon if you see an item that would be free with the sale and the coupon. I actually just cancelled my newspapers. They had just upped them to 20 dollars a month (I know I was saving 5 times that on my monthly grocery bill) but with this new method I'll save even more and I won't have to deal with the annoyance of 5 newspapers being spread all over my house every Sunday. Also I won't be throwing anything away. Last month I threw away a huge stack of coupon flyers that were all expired that I NEVER used!

Couponmom.com is one I've been checking too. Have you tried the grocery game? I'm doing a 4 week trial for a $1 to see if it is worth it. Just wondering if you had any success with it. So I don't need newspapers after all!! That's a relief!
