A common coupon myth is that you can only save money on processed foods and not on the healthy things you want to feed your family. While it’s true that a lot of coupons are for packaged items, there are still tons of ways to save on produce and other fresh foods.
Everything in a store goes on sale at some point – even vegetables! While you might not find BOGO swiss chard, you will find it on sale in the winter with most of the other greens.
How to Save on Produce
- Buy in season
- Shop local
- -Farmer’s Markets (get a detailed local price report here)
- -Community supported agriculture farms (CSA)
- -Food Co-Ops
- Stock up & freeze extras (or opt for frozen/canned when appropriate)
- Use overage from other items and take advantage of any coupons you do find
- Ask for rainchecks
- Consider growing your own herbs and simple veggies

Besides saving on produce, I often get asked how to save on meat. It can be a big expense, but there are some great ways to save. One option is to buy in bulk. Zaycon is a great company that sells meat in 40 lb cases for less than you’d ever see in the grocery store.
You can also contact a butcher to buy a whole animal. They will often sell you meat for a lot less since you are buying directly. Keep in mind that you will be getting a lot of meat at once when you do this. Whenever you buy in bulk, you can then freeze the meat and be well stocked, or go in with a friend and split it.
An additional option is to eat less meat. Try to use more vegetables, beans, and grains instead of meat a couple days a week. You’ll really see a difference in your grocery bill.
10 Ways to Save on Meat
- Buy in bulk – team up with friends and buy part of a cow from a local farm
- Here are some detailed tips about buying a cow
- Buy cheaper cuts of meat – use different cooking techniques to make cheap cuts taste great
- Buy big packages that are on sale – separate and freeze in desired serving sizes
- Buy big cuts of meat – cut them up into smaller portions/steaks
- Don’t throw out the bones – use them to make homemade broth
- Stock up when something goes on sale – freeze in desired serving sizes
- Buy frozen – it is often cheaper than fresh
- Buy meat directly from processing plant – if they sell to the public
- Stretch your meat – use smaller portions and add more veggies
- Avoid boneless, skinless chicken breast – this is the most expensive cut

Did you know that every area and paper get different coupons?
This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers… we all want the great coupon and only a few select areas got it. Each week volunteers send in their insert lists so to show exactly what came in your area. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at this week’s coupon insert variations from 01/14
Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If you’re paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!
As folks send me their lists I will continue to update this list.
A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value or a new coupon not in the preview.
