Has anyone ever tried the grocery game or something like it? I have heard some good things and was thinking of trying it but thought I would ask all you other mommas out there! Thanks!
I did it for a while and if you really watch it you can save a lot. However, I realized that I was buying stuff that I normally would never buy, and some things I just didn't end up using. Now I just clip coupons and read the circular.
I've been using happyhomemakercindy.com and myfrugaladventures.com. They are 2 blogs that I believe do pretty much the same thing and are FREE! It is amazing how much I've been saving since using these 2 sites. I've gotten quite a few things for free and lots of stuff really cheaply.
I LOVE it! They have a free trial, so why not give it a try for the month? There are some free sites out there, but they are not nearly as complete. And it is only $1/week/list. Well worth it for the more complete lists. I have saved on average over 60% every shopping trip! I challenged myself when I first started(4 years ago!) and I was able to get $98 worth of groceries for $12!! I would suggest getting at least 1 grocery store and 1 pharmacy. You get to try them all for free for a month to see what you like best. Also check out their message boards. They are AWESWOME! Especially around Christmas when the Hot Tips start rolling in. They also have a facebook page. Enjoy!
go to Sarah deals! FREE! Right here in MI too!
I use couponmom.com. I believe it has basically the same info as grocery game but the site is free. The site takes the weekly ads from grocery, discount and drug stores and shows you where to get coupons for the items as well as the percentage money you save using the coupons. The forum is also very helpful. Other users post deals they have found at stores and online. They post where they have found coupons, links to rebates, and where to get free samples. I love that site.
I LOVE IT!!! I mostly work the "Drugstore Game" for my freebies, but I also try to save at the grocery store and Target. Remember: ANY savings is better then NO savings!! :)
i don't know that i looked into this too closely, but there are alot of free blogs out there where you could find someone in your general area who has a style you like, young mom or older homemaker etc.
It's great! I used it for a while and then I was bad and wasn't too into the coupon thing for a while, but I'm about to start again.
I loved it. I feel like I really saved when I got into it and it was actually pretty exciting to see what you could get. I say it is definitely worth it to give it a try for a couple months.
i have done it it works if you need help learning how to watch for deals n coupon cutting. i used it it didn't save me any more because i already do what they recommend and i already shop that way but if you are really stricked on what you buy n only buy if its on sale and cut coupons try it it will save you at least half of what you spend now it does work.
What exactly is the grocery game, can you explain it a little bit more?
