Tip of the Day

Take the advice of www.CouponMom.com and use grocery store coupons the easy way!

For the next month, take all the coupon packets from the AJC and just label them on the front of each packet with the date. Do NOTHING else! Don't cut any out, don't organize them, don't even look through them. Just label them with the date and save them.

Then after the 4th of July get ready to start saving money!

• Go to www.CouponMom.com and use their grocery deals by state.
• Pick your favorite store: Publix, Kroger, Walmart.
• Click to create a checklist of items that you like that are on sale and print the list. This will be your shopping list. The printed list will also indicate if there is a coupon matching the item and what date coupon booklet it is in.
• Go back to the coupon booklets you've saved and cut out those coupons.

There! Done! Quick! Easy! You'll probably save yourself at least $15 in coupons. The longer you collect the coupons, the greater your savings will be.
