These blogs do a really good job of highlighting sales at different stores and then matching-up coupons, rebates, catalinas, and other offers to those sales.  They will let you know where to get the coupons or how to take advantage of rebates.  They also tend to highlight other deals happening on the web or around town (like daily deals or restaurant discounts).  

My advice to you would be to find a few bloggers that you really like or meet the needs of what you are looking for in strategic shopping (stores, sales, etc.) and then subscribe to their daily emails.  Most blogs have an option to do this somewhere on their homepage.  This way you will get an email every day (or weekly, etc.-whatever your preference is) with the rundown of what the deals are for that day, including the weekly match-ups for different stores..
