How to find out if there are coupons for the product you want

It took me a few months into my strategic shopping goal to figure this out so if you are new, I will let you in on a little tip. Hot Coupon World is a gold mine of information. They have a database of coupons that you can search through. All you have to do is plug in a key word and it looks for coupons that users have entered. It will even show links to printable coupons for that product if there are any. So if you know there will be a sale on Ragu, you can look it up and find out if there any coupons before you search through your collection or print them out using the link provided. Also, the forums discussing sales and stores are great. You will need to register to participate on those but it is easy and free. I have a link on the right side of this page to the database if you ever need it.
