Kim Danger is the Family Savings Expert for Coupons.com and she has written these 11 money-saving tips to help you cut costs in your household and save up to $10,000 a year. Here is the third tip from Kim Danger:
Clip Coupons, Shop Sales
“Often the biggest savings in discretionary income comes from becoming a savvy grocery shopper. According to Consumer Reports, the average female grocery shopper spends about $116 in a typical week. Using coupons can conservatively save 15% off that bill, which amounts to over $900 per year. Online coupons are becoming more and more prevalent and make it even easier to save. Sites like Coupons.com offer a steady stream of great discounts on pet food, toiletries as well as groceries. Go one step further and also plan your meals around what’s on sale at the grocery store, and you can save another 20%.
Total Savings: $2100 per year”

Save $0.50 on Wacky Mac
I am wacky for Wacky Mac! It’s a colorful dry pasta that comes in two varieties: Spirals and Shapes. I love pasta because it’s so versatile – just put your favorite sauce on top! Or you can make a nice cold pasta salad by adding some veggies and Italian dressing. Wacky Mac is on sale at Kroger for $1.49. My Kroger store doubles my $0.50 coupon making the final price $0.49 (a total savings of 69% off of the full price of $1.59). Don’t forget that you should be able to print this coupon twice!

We love Wacky Mac. We often will use it in place of spaghetti noodles. It’s a lot easier to eat spaghetti like that. And I recently bought it with the coupon and they doubled it and I got it for 50 cents. I was excited!
