You know how you feel when you go grocery shopping and you meticulously shop, always looking for "the best deal" or "smartest buy" for that item on your list, only to return on the next trip to find the item part of some fabulous sale that you didn't know would happen? Well, I use to see it a lot, but I have learned to think a little smarter in a tight economy. Being the ever-budget-minded shopper and coupon-clipper that I am, I thought it might be nice to share some information that I got from an article by Teri Gault, the founder and CEO of www.TheGroceryGame.com.
