Sale Seasons


A friend sent me this list from an about.com article she read.   I have always taught during my coupon classes the importance of planning ahead.  This is a great list to do just that.  I always pick up my ketchup and other condiments in May/June because they're on sale and usually have coupons to match.  I buy at least a year's worth.  That way I don't have to worry about it for quite a while.
I encourage each of you to do the do the same.  Could be some really good deals on different types of food and next year's Christmas gifts in the next couple of weeks.  
Oh, and I've already seen Easter displays up at the stores.  WHAT!!!
