What Goes on Sale and What to Buy on Clearance in February

Most of my grocery shopping savings doesn’t come from using coupons. I save more money on food because I shop according to the seasonal store sales.

From high end heath food stores to low end conventional grocery stores, you can keep your family rolling in fresh fruit and vegetables for less because you are shopping during their national growing season. This is helpful for those of us who can’t buy locally grown good due to the winter ice and snow.

Pin this list!

Shopping seasonally also saves money on household and big ticket items too. If you have a current or future need, now is the time to shop the February holiday sales for the following fresh fruit and vegetables, food, and household goods.

For extra savings, pair the sale with a coupon from my printable online coupon database (affiliate link) because money saving coupons often follow national sales cycles too!
