Our rule - if there's less than 5 ingredients, the store brand will taste the same. 2 - buy spices, oil, honey, rice and tea at an ethnically-oriented grocery store - the spices will be one quarter of the price of a chain grocery store 3 - Lately I've noticed that coupons tend to be for processed food and 2-for-1 deals. So coupons never really help us. But I do make my grocery list around the items on sale in the grocery store weekly circular (I shop often enough to know whether or not it's a "real" sale!)

One of the things I found most interesting when I read the "Millionaire Mind" is that a majority of "everday" millionaires made shopping list and some even mapped out the stores. Their maps had each isle and what product they needed from those isles. The reason behind this was so that they would spend as little time as possible in the store. More time spent in a store equals buying stuff you don't need. Great tips, thanks for sharing, especially about making a shopping list.
