Thou shall subscribe to and read thy stores circular!
This one may sound like a bit of malarkey, because after all, who willingly puts themselves on a mailing list (mainly for fear of ending up on other mailing lists) but it actually works.
Ask your store(s) if they have a mailing list, be it snail main or e-mail. If they do, join it, and when their circular arrives, go through it carefully. See if your top ten items are on sale. See if they have store coupons. See especially if they are advertising "double coupon days"!
If you do this, you'll know what's on sale, when it's on sale, and if you join the list of more than one store, where it's on sale.
By the way, if you're worried about being put on another list if you join the grocery store's list, ask them if they sell their lists. By law, they have to inform you if they do, and to whom they sell their lists. Maybe it's a company that you would like to hear from. But if it's not, ask to have your name excluded from this sharing program. If the store won't comply, don't join.
