Save Money by Buying Whats on Sale When Free Printable Planner

By Shari Lynne 42 Comments

Every year I redo our budget and every year I like to look ahead to plan for big and little purchases.   It is so helpful to have a list of the Sales Cycles for Grocery and Retail Stores!  It can be a huge way to save money!   It’s called Sales Cycles.  I don’t plan all my grocery and retail shopping around this BUT you can plan meals around the Grocery Store sales cycles and save big.  I’ve done this for years. This year I created a free printable planner!

This list gives you a good idea of what will go on sale when.  Stores usually do the same thing over and over, year after year.

Sales Cycles means that retailers plan ahead to know what will possibly be the greatest need for purchasers throughout the year.  So it’s really a win win as they all compete to win your business at certain times of the year.

This is just a partial list of course,  Companies have there own sales within all these sales.  This is just to get you thinking ahead…

January

  • All things related to dieting and healthy eating.
  • All kinds of Sodas, Chips, Dips, Cheese, Sandwich Items, Crackers, Snacks..because it’s Super Bowl Sunday
  • Cold Remedies, Vitamins and the like.
  • I just read that it’s also National Oatmeal Month too..so you can assume Oatmeal will be on sale.

February

  • It’s National Canned Food Month…so LOTS of canned food on sale

    It was years before I knew that frozen food month was in March and it was always the month that I was scheduled to thaw the freezer…..now I try to do in January or February which is a good reminder that I need to start planning for that soon!!!! I currently stocked up on flour and have about a dozen bags of bread flour and regular flour shoved in my cupboards because it is so much cheaper around the holidays. Every year I wish that I bought more. I love knowing what is coming and I never heard the canned good sale so I will keep my eyes out 🙂

    I’ll admit I’m not the best at couponing. i think it’s because there is so much information to take in. This post makes it seem so simple and manageable. Thank you!
