Grocery Coupons Savings for New Moms

Grocery coupons can help new parents find savings on much needed baby items like wipes, diapers, formula, and baby food. No one ever said babies are cheap, and in fact, it's quite the opposite.

While your baby may be priceless, they're certainly pricey. The new costs that follow newborns can rattle your family’s budget. But if you use grocery coupons, you can save another little bundle on household and baby items.

A recent study found that a family that spends a minimum of 20 minutes each week using grocery coupons can save as much as 20 percent on their grocery bill. And if the average American family spends roughly $5,000 per year on groceries, that 20% works out to a savings of $1,000 per year. That's great news for new parents, especially since it's easier to find grocery coupons online and with mobile coupon apps.

Writing a shopping list for every time you go to the store is a great way to save on the final bill. And mobile grocery coupon apps help new parents with the ability to create many different lists and to keep their grocery coupons organized. The mobile apps even allow you to build a list of regularly purchased items and then finds the grocery coupons for either that particular item or one just like it. It's hard to find time to do much of anything with a newborn at home, which is why the shopping lists on a mobile app will help save a lot of time as well as money.

Some mobile apps even offer printable coupons from their website. Rather than looking through different newspapers and circulars, visit your favorite coupon website to look for your different coupons. You can print those grocery coupons yourself, and keep them organized with any other paper coupons you normally deal with.

Another feature of a mobile coupon app is the geo-location feature, which uses the geo-location and the GPS capabilities of your smartphone to locate the stores closest to you, and whether any of your chosen items are on sale or have coupons available. The convenience of this is, if you are running errands in another part of town, and you realized you needed baby food, you could use the mobile app to find a nearby store that has baby food coupons. Make a quick stop and you're ready to go.

The time saved with mobile apps is a great benefit to new moms juggling feedings, naps, doctor appointments, and all the excitement of a new baby. New moms can find great discounts in ways that work with their schedule – either by going online to print coupons or downloading grocery coupons right to their smartphone.
