Ask the readers: A wedding, candy, & best time to get Valentines Candy is?

This question for you amazing Happy Money Saver readers comes from Kristin:

I have a coupon question! A friend of mine is getting married early this summer.  They will be having a candy table and are looking to purchase some of their candy around Valentine’s Day because one of their colors for the wedding is coral.  The bride thought various shades of pink to coral candies would look best.  She asked me if I had ideas on how to get the best value on purchasing these treats and thought about waiting until the day after the holiday for the discount candies.  I thought it would be better to start looking for coupons and pair them up with sales now.

 So what do you think? Should she wait until after the holiday for the discounts or use coupons + sales now? Or do you have other suggestions?

If you have a question as well for Happy Money Saver readers please let me know by emailing me at karrie (at) happymoneysaver.com.
