Rising fuel costs are sending food prices to the sky. There just seems to be no end to the weekly budget juggling. You save a little here, you end up spending it over there. Left hand in, right hand out. But here’s a story on Yahoo! that might just help you on your way to saving lots of money for you and your family :

The trick is to be a sophisticate — catch the product at its cheapest price, buy it with a coupon, and stock up. Problem is, few people have the time to track when toilet paper hits bottom (no pun intended) or spend hours snipping coupons. The solution: Two fast-growing websites that do some of the legwork for you, and another that offers low prices and free shipping.

It tells of how two websites The Grocery Game and The Coupon Mom help thousands of its subscribers save money with coupons.

The Grocery Game provides printable coupons and tells you where to find others in your Sunday newspaper circulars. Grocery Game tracks pricing on 10,000 items in 126 supermarkets and drug chains nationwide. Subscribers pay $10 every eight weeks for a list of local deals and unadvertised specials from one store ($5 for each additional store). The site has 100,000 members.

the Coupon Mom offers a database that matches store deals to relevant coupons, but doesn’t pinpoint when an item has hit its lowest price. “If it’s buy-one-get-one-free, or over 50 percent off and you use a coupon, that’s a good deal,” coupon Mom says. “If you go for rock-bottom, you may end up with a cart full of air freshener, frozen waffles, and cat food. I don’t think that’s practical.”

There may not be similar websites like these where you live, but the basic concept of saving money on groceries is still the same. You NEED to be aware of what’s a good deal and when it’s available.

I predict many of us will soon learn the game and be very good at bargain hunting. As fuel prices reach to the stars, go ahead and reach for your scissors and start snipping coupons.
