When we go hunting, I try to save as much money where ever possible, whether it is gear, groceries, gas or places to hunt. The easiest is using coupons for the food I buy. I started clipping coupons a year ago and have learned several things. It is best to use the coupons when the food is on sale, that way maximized savings is realized.
Well here lies another problem : the food we want is not on sale at the time we need it. So what needs to be done is to start stockpiling the food, an by that I mean, through out the year when the stuff goes on sale I buy as much as I can with the coupons that I have, so come hunting season I have most of the food except for the milk, eggs and bread products that can not by stock piled. The meats go on sale during the summer for the BBQ cooking season, so I buy the meat and freeze it, as does other BBQ foods that I can store in the pantry for later use.
Since I started couponing I have come to realize that there is a bunch of money to be saved and I have become a better shopper, always looking for the best deals, which is easy when I have access to 5 different grocery stores within 3 miles of my house.
