In another post, I talk about how I feel about couponing. Here I will talk about digital coupons and digital rebating. Back in the day, there were no digital coupons or smart phones and rebates had to be done by mail. You would find a pad of rebate coupons hanging on the shelf in front of the rebated item and you would have to cut out the UPC symbol off of the package and mail it along with your register receipt to the manufacturer to get your rebate. This has all but gone away for everyday groceries. You can still find a lot of this type of rebates being done with beer, wine and alcohol, as well as non grocery items.

Another way to save on your grocery
bill is to use online coupons linked to your grocery store's rewards
program (and most have them these days). Many large grocery stores
have their own app that will allow you to scroll through a list of
coupons you can tap onto your loyalty card and they will be
automatically redeemed when you buy the qualifying item. Not every
store has the same coupons and usually you can only redeem the coupon
once. The coupons offered will change regularly, so you will need to
check it out before doing you shopping to be sure you are getting all
of the savings you can. I have found this to be much easier than
remembering to bring my stack of coupons into the store and have to
sort through them to find the one I need every trip.
Overall, I have found using digital
coupons and rebates is a lot easier than using paper coupons. The
time savings alone make them worth the effort and you will have a
good visual account of what your savings are.
