Coupon Clipping A Holiday Must

Food is still expensive these days even though most supermarkets are offering discounts and twofers. Planning a holiday meal can be an expensive proposition. What do you do? Cut corners? have smaller gathering?s. No, stick to that other time honored tradition coupon clipping.

This is the time of year to take advantage of all those thick booklets of coupons stuck in your Sunday papers. There are always great deals on everything from basic ingredients like sugar and flour to extras such as gravy or ice cream. I found that Pillsbury has all sorts of coupons for their items. This is perfect for holiday baking especially if you plan to bake a lot or give treats away as gifts. Canned goods are also featured big in the Sunday circulars. You'll always need the canned veggies as sides so stock up on them. Also some stores have two for one pricing along with coupons for added discounts. Essentials like green beans , corn, and tomatoes will be costing next to nothing.

I've found that the Sundays papers aren't the only place to scour for deals. Online coupons saver sites offer you printable coupons that are good anywhere you shop. One site that has almost everything is Mommysavesbig. This is more of a blog but you can click on anything grocery item and a coupon will pop up. There's also the famed Couponmom which will even get you discounts off laundry soap and paper goods. I like this site most of all because it offers you a variety of deals on a variety of items.. Smartsource is another place where you can save on all sorts of ingredients for your Thanksgiving and holiday parties.

Be a smart shopper this holiday season. Coupon clip to save on your holiday meals and treats. Don't scrimp when you can save big time!
