Every Sunday, I get the local newspaper coupons, grocery store and drug store
ads together. My children and I go through the ads to match up the our list of
things we need to the lowest prices in the ads. Most of the coupon items are all on
sale. We mark the lowest prices from among 3 or 4 stores in the same area and hit
all the stores in one trip, not wasting gas or time.  I make up several small lists
for the kids for each store and they are responsible for finding sales items that
they need and matching the appropriate item with some coupons. Of course, I check
the items before checking out, but it works well for us and we save hundreds monthly.
