Supermarket frequent-buyer clubs really work! If you’re still hesitating about adopting the coupon-clipping lifestyle (and you really shouldn’t!), you can at least sign up for and use your local supermarket chain’s club card. At the market where my family shops most often, the A&P, we ask the cashier to scan our card every time we checkout (we keep the cards in our wallets and on our key chains so we always have them with us). If we don’t get instant savings on the products we’re purchasing, we often get coupons generated at the register for items we really use. The results of this very simple practice? About $650 saved each year, not counting register coupons. A big return on a hassle-free investment.
