Have you noticed the new and improved Supermarket Sites now available online? I have, and I thought I’d share some of the better parts of the sites.

Since I mostly shop at the local A&P, I’ll use that store as my guide. But most stores have equally user friendly and helpful sections. Remember in this case “Forewarned is forearmed.”

First, the entire weekly sales flyer is offered online. You can turn each page to view all the specials. So with the speed of your computer you can manage it all. Now the fun begins. With the specific sale item I want, I click and add it to a shopping list. As I turn each page my savings and my list grow. But the time I’m done, I’ve planned the bulk of my weekly shopping list. And with a click of the print button my list is ready.

Still there’s more. I click on the coupon link on the supermarket site, and I can download coupons for the same items right onto my frequent shopper card. The deductions are taken at the register. And last, I can print off other coupons that will further reduce my shopping bill.

Naturally I fill in my coupon needs with those from the www.selectcouponprogram.com so that weekly I save between 40-60%. The reason I know about my exact savings is that each and every week, at the bottom of my receipt is a little blurb ‘you saved 63% on you groceries’.
