How would you like to save on groceries and other household items? Does the idea of clipping coupons, keeping them updated and organized sound like too much work for the reward? Perhaps you should try clicking your way to save that hard-earned cash. There are a few good Web sites that offer substantial savings on your grocery bill. Even Kmart has a weekly rebate site. With the click of the mouse and a printer, you can easily save anywhere from a few dollars to more than $50.

Will That Be Paper or Plastic?
Grocery shopping isn't the highlight of many parents' weeks. But with a little bit of planning, you can at least enjoy saving some money off your grocery bill. Listed below are the Web sites and a description of how they work. Choose which one works best for you. A typical rebate check for my family may be around $15. But you can save more depending on what products you buy. Of course, if you also use coupons, the savings will be bigger.

coupon E-save.com. The plan is simple. Select your rebate items (use the "rebate directory" for quick access of the products). Next, print out your selections and go shopping. After you're finished, simply write the tracking number on your receipt and circle the rebate items you've purchased. Mail it in by the specified date. You will receive your rebate check in two weeks. The plus to this site is you can shop at any store, as long as you are given a cash register receipt for proof of purchase. New offers are added each week, so check before you make your list.

ValuPage.com. The rebates you choose are disbursed as Web Bucks at the check-out. Web Bucks can be used as cash on your next purchase to that store. Here's how it works: first, type in the zip code for the store where you usually do your shopping. If you live in a rural area, you may not find your local store as a participant. However, if you are willing to travel a few miles to do your shopping, you can still participate. One or more stores should appear. Click on the store of your choice and print out the entire list of offers.
