I also am hosting video chats around each theme so you can learn even more! We will be answering the questions you ask on this post during the live chats!!!
Week #1 (Jan 7-14) — Smarter Grocery Shopping Habits
The first week, we’ll be talking mostly about the little habits you can change while shopping that can make a big difference in your grocery spending…such as not buying the magazines off the rack at the checkout, writing a grocery list and sticking to it while shopping, as well as checking unit prices and sale expiration dates.
Favado Helps by…allowing you to have a shopping list in the palm of your hand that you won’t forget at home!
Here is a link to the week one video. Learn how you can save!
Week #2 (Jan 15-21) — Shopping the Sales and Following the Sales Cycles
Grocery stores and manufacturers work hard to push out their best sale prices to you on a weekly basis through their store circulars. If you follow along closely, you’ll notice that most products operate on an 8-12 week sales cycle.
You’ll also find that “product families” all go on sale at the same time, for example all the P&G products will be discounted the same weeks, and will return to their regular prices for a few weeks, then go back on sale together.
Favado Helps by…showing you when your favorite products go on sale, so that you can purchase them when they are on sale and not have to pay full price in between sales cycles. Over time, you’ll learn how much to purchase to last you until the next sale.

Week #3 (Jan 22-28) — Couponing for “Double the Discount”
The deep 50-70% savings that you hear talked about frequently occur when you combine a coupon with an already discounted product for “double the discount.” For example if toothpaste is on sale for $1 and you have a $.75 off coupon, you’ll get that toothpaste for just $.25, as opposed to its $2.49 regular price.
Favado Helps by…doing all the hard work for you and putting the best sale prices with matching available coupons in a nice, organized list. Favado makes it easy to find these discounts and save big on groceries.

Week #4 (Jan 29-Feb 5) — Meal Planning
Making a meal plan based on what’s on sale in your local grocery stores can help you cut your grocery bill by 20-30% alone. Matching your meals with the sales is a simple, scissorless way to save each week at the grocery store.

Favado Helps by…allowing you to search for ingredients that are on sale for the meals you want to make each week. Want to make a slow cooker meal that calls for boneless skinless chicken thighs or beef roast? Favado can tell you which store has those ingredients on sale each week.
To add to the fun, join in the Favado Twitter parties! You can RSVP for tonight’s party here! We’d love for you to join in the fun. There will be $300 in grocery store gift cards to give away each week! Each Twitter party will match the theme for the week, as outlined above.

What’s the easiest way to keep track of all the coupons available every week? I love doing match ups, but often miss great deals not knowing that there are coupons available.

I struggle with figuring out how to do grocery shopping on a budget while eating organic/local. :/
Mendy Dinsmore says
Why do some stores charge you to use coupons when you pay with a EBT card? I’m trying to save every cent I can and they charge me to use a coupon. Crazy.
ali @ an ordinary mom says
Wondering if there is a good resource for a list of what things go on regular seasonal sales, so a shopper can be thinking ahead. Like a grocery store sales almanac? 🙂
Anyone know of a good list?
Emily says

Do you think you can save more by buying packaged foods and using coupons, or buying fresh foods and cooking from scratch?

Do you have any ways to save money on organic products since there are not a lot of coupons for such products!?

Do you know which stores price match competitors coupons?
The rules have changed so much lately.
