Grocery Sale Cycles
Every person who Coupons needs to know what is in season and what to look for at the Grocery Stores. Knowing this information will help you learn the Cycles that Grocery Stores use to place their ads. It's just one more way to keep up with Sales Ads and Coupons so you can get more Bang for your Buck. So I decided to add this section in the web page so YOU can be one up on someone who doesn't coupon at all. It is probably the MOST IMPORTANT part of making a list and buying your groceries. This way you will know what is in season and what products that you can STOCKPILE while the Cycle is in.. Although it is very explainable, until you get the real understanding of it, you might want to copy and paste a copy for you to put into your Coupon Binder, Coupon File Case, or Which ever devise you use for your Coupons. This way you will have it to look at when making your grocery lists.
