Rewards programs are another great way to save money - they are usually free, and only require a few minutes of your time to sign up for, but the benefits are so worth it! Most drug stores and grocery stores have rewards programs along with a few 'department-type' stores. These generally include sale prices and extra coupons. At most places these in-stores promotions can be paired with manufacturer coupons for even more savings. My two favorite programs are at CVS and Giant. CVS has the Extracare Program; this alone will give you sale prices, CVS store coupons, and the ability to earn Extracare Bucks. There are also the Beauty Club and the Pharmacy Rewards programs that you can sign up for to earn additional Extracare Bucks to spend on whatever.* I use to shop all three drug stores in our area each week, all of which had their own rewards programs. I have only continued to shop at CVS because I feel that their program is the most efficient and effective for my family.
Giant is another favorite of mine. I LOVE that I can earn cents-off each gallon of gas, just by purchasing my groceries each week. They also have Giant coupons that you can add to your card and then pair with a manufacturer coupon for some AWESOME savings! Giant is a little on the expensive side for most things, so we do the bulk of our shopping at ALDI, but they have great sales and a wonderful selection of clearance throughout the year.

So, check if the stores you frequent offer rewards programs - it might just save you some serious coin!
*I think that things like prescriptions and stamps, etc are excluded, but I would say that 98% of what they sell can be bought using ECB's*
