Another tip: Walmart price matches competitors, so bring their ads to Walmart along with your coupons and you can scale back your driving around from store to store.

One more: Some credit cards also give you cash back on your grocery purchases. I have a Citicard MasterCard that gives 2 percent back on food purchases. If you shop at Smith Marketplace for your non-food needs, it will still be read as food purchases by Citicard, and you can get additional cash back. Discover Card also offers occasional 5 percent cash back on groceries, so sometimes remembering which credit card gives you the most cash back for purchases can help rein in expenses as well!
