• Hooray For Spring! Spring is right around the corner, so get ready for spring cleaning promotions, sales, and coupons and make room in your stockpile for household and cleaning items!  
• March is Frozen Foods Month! Look for sales, promotions, and coupons for all types of frozen foods, and make room in your freezer for Frozen vegetables (box, bag, steam), Frozen fruits, Frozen dinners/meals, Ice cream, Waffles, and more!
• March Madness (basketball) means more sales and coupons for appetizers, snacks, soda, paper products such as paper plates, napkins, and paper towels.
• March is also National Peanut Month - look for sales on peanuts, peanut butter and more.
• St. Patrick's Day is on March 17th! Look for sales on potato's, corned beef, and "Irish Foods."
• Easter is on April 8th this year. Start looking for sales on eggs (of course) but also ham, and candy. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid will surely have sales to help to fill your little one's baskets.
• Gardening - Most likely, you will also start to see sales on gardening supplies! And start thinking about starting your own garden!

Clearance Items: 

• Look for Winter items on clearance now.
• Look for "holiday" clearance items after the holiday. For example, you will see St. Patrick's Day items on clearance after March 17th. It is the best time to buy holiday decorations and items, then store them away to use next year, or for other occasions, ect.
