What I do is what I've always done that is I spend about an hour and a half during the week going on websites and looking at various stores and their coupons. I then formulate menus on what's on sale that week. I have been learning to cook various dishes from other cultures which has led me to incorporating two vegetarian dishes a week. I know this isn't for everyone but it does work for us and the savings have allowed me to more freedom in donations and upgrading our home.
Where do you find coupons?
