Use printable manufacturer's grocery coupons to save money on your favorite name brand items. These items are generally more expensive than generic or store-brand items, but when a coupon is added, they can be very competitive.
Name Brand Groceries for Less
Plenty of large companies offer coupons online for printing before you head out grocery shopping. Check these websites and print coupons for your favorite products before you visit the store. Some companies may require you to create an account, sign up for newsletters, or comment on their Facebook page before allowing you to print the coupons, but the savings are often well worth the extra effort. Check back with the websites often, as offers are constantly changing.

Tips for Using Printable Manufacturer's Coupons
Not every grocery store accepts coupons from a home printer, so call ahead or ask the next time you shop before taking the time and trouble to hunt for coupons. You may need to download a coupon application from a website before the coupon will print. Make sure the coupon is readable before taking it to the grocery store - especially the bar code used for scanning it into the cash register.
Combine Coupons and Sales
Get the most out of your coupons by combining manufacturers' coupons with store coupons. You can often find coupons in the store's flyer or sales book in the paper or near the front door of the store. Check the expiration dates to see if you have to use them now or if you can wait to see if the items go on sale the following week. Combining store coupons with manufacturer's coupons - especially when purchasing items that are on sale - is a great way to stretch your dollars and add to your savings.
Weed Out Fake Coupons
Remember that coupon fraud is a problem in today's high-tech society. Follow these tips to make sure you are not duped into using a fake coupon:
- Only get coupons from legitimate websites.
- Call the manufacturer or your grocery store to find out if the coupon is real.
- Remember that if the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. While companies may occasionally put out "buy one, get one free" coupons, very rarely do they release coupons for an entire product free on a third-party website.
Saving Strategies Pay Off
Couponing is a great way to cut your grocery shopping bill. Remember to check the bottom of your receipt when you get home and put the amount saved into your savings account or towards debt. This makes your food coupon savings work for you.
