Meal Deals: collect recipes not coupons

An easy way to save is to start collecting recipes instead of coupons. Picking the right recipe will not only make your family happy, it could also fatten up your savings account. Too many times coupons are a manufactuer's way to get you to buy their product. Generics are usually a better deal than a brand name with a coupon. That's where the recipe comes into play. If you have recipes ready to go before going to the store then you can choose the products that are the cheapest. In the end you could end up saving more by collecting those recipes then those coupons.
