Here's a tactic I hadn't seen before: Sponsored ad on Facebook, with the headline, "8 Absurd (but Effective) Things I Do at the Grocery Store to Save $200+/Month." I click on it, and the article it takes me to is headlined, "Want to Save $100? Try These Really Strange Tricks at the Grocery Store." Then, after the usual list of spam-newsletters to sign up for who might once in a while send a coupon your way, at the bottom of the article, in very small print: "Disclosure: This post sponsored by General Mills."

I thought the best way to save at the grocery store was to avoid the General Mills part of it and stick to buying actual food; ingredients and stuff.
