My personal opinion is that in the West Knox area, Kroger is the easiest place to use your coupons. Kroger takes all legitimate manufacturer coupons and they double all coupons with a value up to $.50. So a .25 coupon is worth .50, a .50 coupon is really worth $1, a .75 is worth .75.
My coupons for Kroger come from Sunday Inserts, Internet printables, and downloadable coupons that download directly to your Kroger Club card. Don't worry, we will cover the ins and outs of each of these. I get my list together, clip my coupons to it and go.

Every week I check www.couponmommie.com and www.southernsavers.com for their deal lists and coupon match-ups. Couponmommie is local Knox mommie so her prices are usually right on with what we will see. Southernsavers is from the South but sometimes her prices and coupons are slightly different that the ones we get. I also check the ads myself. But the items in the ads aren't the only things that will be a good deal.
The ad gurus lure you into the store with the flyer but some of the best deals are the 'unadvertised specials'. When I am not shopping with my Cute Kids I take my coupon binder with me and look for other deals. You do not have to spend tons of time doing this.
Just like you, I have a life that is scheduled from 6am to 1am so it is important to me to get in and get out. My Kroger trips are always less than an hour. Just take a few minutes to prepare ahead of time.
