Plan the Week Before Most shopping planning websites and apps will announce the upcoming deals starting on Thursday or Friday the week before the ad is released. Start making notes of deals they are highlighting. Keep a running list as you come across deals on various websites and Facebook news feeds.

Use Match-Up Sites There are a number of match-up sites some of my favorites: Watch for their symbols or wording which indicate stockpile pricing.
