Want free groceries? Who doesn’t! I’ve put together four ways to use coupons to get free groceries.
1) Use Buy-One-Get-One-Free Coupons: One great way to get free groceries & household items is to use a buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO) coupon when a grocery item is on sale buy-one-get-one-free to get two for free. I've done this many times to get free shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and more.
2) Use Two Coupons on Buy-One-Get-One-Free Sales: When you have high value coupons you can often get products for free or nearly free this way. A couple of months ago, Pert Plus was on sale at CVS buy-one-get-one-free (two for $3.69). I had two $2-off coupons, which more than paid for both bottles of shampoo.
3) Stack Store & Manufacturer's Coupons: Both Target and CVS have store-specific coupons that can be paired with manufacturer's coupons for extra savings. I recently got 4 boxes of Pop Tarts for free by combining Target web coupons and manufacturer’s coupons.
4) Hit Double & Triple Coupon Days at Your Grocery Store: Harris Teeter triples grocery coupons up to $.99 face value three or four times a year. Many other grocery stores do the same. I recently got over $30 worth of groceries at HT, including Chex cereal, Cascade dishwashing detergent and 4 bottles of Windex for only $2.
So what do you think? Do you have any more tips to get free or very cheap groceries with coupons?

I would also add that Walgreen's has in-ad coupons. And that Walgreens and Rite Aid have rebates (very easy on-line no mailing necessary) that you can add with coupons and in-ad coupons. Also there are mail-in rebates.
If you've got a Kroger nearby...LOAD your Rewards card! I got a pint of ice cream last night for $.25!!! It was on sale for a $1 and the card had a $.75 off loaded on that I had completely forgotten about! I thought the $1 was a good deal, but $.25 is much better!!!

All good ideas. I would say take advantage of sales as much as possible by combining sale/coupons. If you want to learn to use catalinas go to my blogsite I have some info on the side bar...but if you want to be blown away by using catalinas to get free groceries I would suggest looking at super coupon girl and Jane's 800 for the year budget on my side bar. They coupon like something I have never seen before and I am truly impressed weekly by their genius coupon techniques.
Erin, there's a great site called Shortcuts.com - you should check it out ;)
Seriously, though, adding those ecoupons in combination with the manufacturer's and even store coupons helps to save even more!!
Erin, this is a great post. I am using it as a Guest Post on my blog. I love your blog and check it out every day....sometimes several times a day. You might say I am addicted to it.
Great tips Erin! I'm going to link back to you!!
