As a couponer, I've realized that you start to recognize certain "signs" that items are going to be free or almost free in the near future. High value coupons means that there will also be sales (case in point: I bet that Jalapeno flavored PopSecret will go on sale for a buck within the next month of two. Combine that with the dollar coupon in this Sunday's paper, and you've got a freebie.) And last summer when Coke Zero didn't go over so well, I got about a hundred free bottles by combining coupons with the increasingly lower sale prices. The new Quaker Crunchy Granola bars were available for .25 ea right after they came out. I LOVE it when new products are introduced! And then there were the free pints of Breyer, like the article mentioned . . . And it's true! You start to know the seasons during which things will go on sale too. November, for instance, is chili season. I stocked up on Stagg and Bush. *Sigh* That was a great month. It’s true!
