On Wednesday when I got home from work, I found an application for a grocery store savings card in the mail. If I filled out the application and brought the card into the store, I'd get 10% off on my groceries for the first month.
On Thursday, I brought the card to the store and got an $18.07 discount on my grocery order. Sweet.
I perused the grocery coupon sites but I did not find many coupons for the foods I purchase. I did not remember bring my grocery chart with me, but I will bring it next time and I will employ the services of my ten-year-old to scribe the prices for me as we purchase items.
So, progress--even just a little bit--is a good thing.

My favorite kick is getting a coupon doubled on something already on sale in the grocery!
OK, if there is a coupon for something you have a foreseeable use for (in a month or so) I suggest getting it and stocking up space allowing. Such as dry goods, canned goods. Don't go overboard, just basics.
I buy seasonall things, just after the season and store, such as Christmas cookie sprinkles at 1/2 price, which store easily for a year.
