Special Report: Grocery Savings

Janet Pare of New Hampshire should know. She's been clipping coupons for over 30 years

Janet Pare, The Coupon Lady
"Look at this - $1.00 for Saltines!!"

When it comes to savings this "coupon queen" checks out on top.

Janet Pare, The Coupon Lady
"I went and bought 12 cases of re-fried beans and they had to pay me $12.60 to do it."

That’s because of rebates store incentives and other offers that she collects from circulars, web-sites and newspapers.

Janet Pare, The Coupon Lady
"It's $2.99 for the Lysol spray which is sometimes in stores $3.50 and you get the free wipes and I have a $1.00 coupon!"

So how can you cut back on the your grocery bill? Well, when it comes to saving big Janet says start small.

Janet Pare, The Coupon Lady
"Just take two coupons to the store and when you turn in those two dollars or go to a store like this and you feel that money coming off you'll say that was great."

She recommends going in prepared with a list and notations on that list if you have coupons - that way you'll remember to use them.

Find out your stores policy on coupons. Some double or even triple the value of them - while others issue coupons of their own that can be combined with those from a manufacturer.

Janet Pare, The Coupon Lady
"Save a dollar on one twelve pack."

But if coupons are not your thing, Janet says you can also keep your eyes open for in store savings especially in the meat department.
