I try to only buy the sale items, and buy in bulk when it is a good price. I have a chest freezer and that definitely was worth every penny.

I rarely use coupons, because they are so often no longer for essential items, but for processed crap. But sometimes, there are a few good coupons, and I don't let them go to waste.

I also find that if I do not go into the grocery store often, I can avoid temptations.

Another one person household here, and I bet it would work better for a larger household, since some fresh veggies and fruit on sale can only be bought in small quantities for just one person.
