Short Cuts:WEB SITES WE LIKE

Food, glorious food. If you have a little time before rushing off to the supermarket, pay a visit to Gotta Save? (www.gottasave.com), which offers coupon savings for hundreds of grocery items and specials from your local grocery store. Got more time? Click on some of the coupons to find food sites full of recipes, games, gifts and trivia. For instance, at the Nabisco Neighborhood (www.nabisco.com), you can watch an OREO commercial, find out how to make Planters Pecan Chocolate Chip Pie or learn the story behind Barnum’s Animals Crackers (37 different kinds of animals have been put in the box since 1902). Kellogg’s Cereal City USA (www.kelloggs.com/index_cc.html) is equally fun, with a store, a kitchen, the Cereal City Times and links to favorite-cereal sites. Some specific foods have excellent sites of their own, like the National Pork Producers Council’s pork site (www.nppc.org), with tips on which cuts to buy, food safety and more. Greens and grapes aren’t ignored: Broccoli has its own home (www.broccoli.com), and Dole (www.dole.com) has an extensive site featuring its fresh fruit and vegetables. Just don’t go surfing when you’re hungry.
