What's on Sale this Month? After all of the holiday parties and family get togethers in December, it's time to focus on eating healthier and taking better care of ourselves! Expect to see sales and new coupons on brands such as Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, Healthy Choice, Special K, Kashi, Smart Start and Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs this month. Great deals on vitamins and nutritonal supplements will also be featured in many store circulars and as part of promotional deals at the drug stores during January. This is the best time of year to stock up on vitamins that you take regularly, as many have long expiration dates! Seasonal produce such as oranges, grapefruits, collards, cabbage, and pears will be in abundance in your grocery store's produce section this time of year, so enjoy while they're at their best selection and price. As January winds down, snacks, such as chips, dips, and soft drinks will be on sale as everyone looks forward to Super Bowl Sunday in early February. And don't forget the clearance deals filling all stores this month~ lots of great markdowns on toys, Christmas decor, party goods, wrapping paper, and even basic essentials such as aluminum foil, ziploc bags, and hand soaps that are packaged with a holiday theme! January is a great month to stock your gift closets and prepare for the new year. Happy Shopping friends! |

Tips for Members A new year means lots of new coupons and many expired ones! It's time to clean out your coupon binder or box of all those coupons that expired 12/31/11 and start fresh for 2012. As you get organized, here's some links that will make it easier:
When to Toss your Inserts~ a listing of all inserts with active coupons, as well as those those that have completely expired

Sunday Coupon Previews forum~ as soon as weekly insert previews are available, they are posted here!
Printable Coupons forum~ links to the latest printable coupons by category, to help you fill your binders and boxes in the new year
This is also a great time of year to review your wishlists and ISO lists to make sure that things are up-to-date! If you are an active trader or ride a coupon train, it is very helpful to other members if you have a current listing of what coupons you can use or those that you tyically need. An updated wishlist or ISO list can increase your chances of trading for coupons that you're seeking, so take some time today to remove any expired coupons and add new coupons to your listings. You'll be glad you did!

In mid-January, many of you know that Target does a huge markdown in the toy department, with prices ranging from 70-75% off! This is a great time to stock your gift closets for the coming year. The markdown typically happens during the second week of January, but things can always change. Keep a close check on your Target's toy aisles and follow what's happening all across the country in AFC'sTarget Clearance forum. This is a sale not to be missed!
