So I was reading a KC Parents magazine that had information about the grocery game. I've never heard of it before, but parents were saying it saved them tons of money on groceries - cut their bill in half! I was intrigued. The economy stinks & money certainly doesn't grow on trees! I'm always looking for ways to save money at the grocery store! I am a faithful coupon cutter, but I could always be a little better! I was hoping this was the answer. I (again) read reviews of people who LOVED the program and others who say it's actually a waste of money & caused them to buy only processed foods instead of a healthy balance. The "game" basically searches a local grocery store for deals in conjunction with your coupons in the Sunday paper - they tell you what to buy, when. Apparently sales are cyclical - every 6 weeks or so it repeats. For me, I can't see PAYING money for something when I'm trying to SAVE money! I did find the Coupon Mom - a free website with links to coupons and other fun money saving tips. I also got my Betty Crocker newsletter today with a link to coupons - always a good deal. My biggest money waster of the month is the AVOCADO. Jason & I have purchased approximately 5 avocadoes in the past month at $1.49 each. Unfortunately, only TWO have been edible. Bummer. What a waste! We are terrible at picking them out!
Anyone else have coupon/money saving advice for the grocery store?
