Keeping a price sheet or price list will help you to know when the items you use most are at the best price, or rock bottom price so you can stock-up.
Start by making a list of the items you purchase most. Next time you go to the store, write down the prices and sizes of those items (even if you are not purchasing them).
If you have access to a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, put the items in a list and figure out the price per item, ounce, package, lb. etc.
The next time you see a sale for a particular item, check your price list and see if it is really cheaper.
Example (not real prices):
Cascade 64 oz. Sams Club 6.99 =.109/oz (my price list)
Cascade 32 oz. Brookshires 3.99 =.125/oz (sale price) so Sam's Club is still the better deal on this item. If I had a coupon that would double, it would be a better deal at Brookshires.
I base most of my price list against Sam's Club warehouse large quantity prices.
Happy Couponing!!
