Save money on groceries with Facebook

Most of us use Facebook as a networking tool to help us stay in touch with family and friends. However, Facebook can actually help us save some money on our grocery bill.

If you are not familiar with Facebook, it is an online networking site. Sign up if free and through this site you can keep in touch with family and friends by reading their thoughts and viewing their photos. To sign up, go to, www.facebook.com and sign up for a free account. After you get signed up, start looking for your family and friends and send them a, "friend request". This is how you are able to view their Facebook profiles. After you get all that done, now you can start becoming a , "fan" of your favorite foods.

If you use a lot of and/or like Betty Crocker foods, do a search for Betty Crocker and then click on the link next to their name that says, "become a fan". By doing this you will be able to view posts from Betty Crocker and also receive updates and coupons from the company.

So, go through your pantry and make note of the brands of foods you use. Then, go to Facebook and "become a fan". This is how you can save money on your groceries by using Facebook.

You can also search for your favorite grocery stores and do the same thing. Food Lion in Raleigh, NC for example, has given out free boxes of cereal through Facebook. It is worth it to take a few minutes and become fans of your favorite stores and brands.
