Food Lion Saving with no coupons
I realize that my co-author (hi, Karen) will cringe at this post , but I have to tell you that I saved almost 50% on my grocery bill with NO coupons. I have said over and over again that most grocery stores run pretty good sales if you follow them closely.

I recently heard Clark Howard say that you can save up to 30% at the grocery store simply by buying store brands. Hum … That makes a lot of sense.
