A few things I'd like to shareI really do love using coupons to get great deals on groceries (and often free groceries) but using coupons effectively often requires multiple trips to multiple stores to get the best deals. Since the gas prices have exceeded $3.50 per gallon, I am less inclined to drive long distances to check for unadvertised sales.
I also try to make sure that the menu's I share can be recreated by anyone by following basic seasonal sales patterns, whether they have access to coupons or not.
