As you're planning your Christmas treats and your Christmas menu, you'll want to create a Christmas grocery list so you can keep track of all of the ingredients you'll need for holiday cooking. As the Christmas season draws nearer, stores will begin to mark down foods that they know people will use to make holiday dishes. Watch your local supermarket fliers for good sales, and use deal sites like the Krazy Coupon Lady and Money Saving Mom to find good coupon match-ups. If you have difficult-to-find ingredients, you might want to consider ordering them through Amazon. That way you'll be sure to have everything you need when it's time to start cooking.
