How do you know if it is a good deal?

Saturday, August 8, 2009
New to clipping coupons?  How do you know when it is a good deal or when you need to wait until a better sale comes along?  As you coupon shop longer, you will start to learn what is considered a "good" price.  These are my target prices, meaning that once I combine the sale price with a coupon, I don't want to pay over my target price.
