I don't know how I missed that site, but it has a ton of great info! I loved the video on coupon binders. I think that I am going to have to set one up now.</p> <p>Marianna- it is overwhelming at first, but it's really worth it. I would suggest you start getting the Sunday paper and saving the whole coupon insert. Mark the date on the cover and keep them all in one place. Read the forums at the website and see if you start getting a feel for it. After a month of saving the coupon inserts and reading messages, start your free month trial. If you're still feeling overwhelmed by it- just pick a single grocery store and concentrate on items that you already regularly purchase and know you will use. I think that would be an easier way to get into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99223 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:06:09 +0000 Splash0306 99223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is another good website (free too) that explains a lot coupon techniques. </p> <p><a href="http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/CouponIntro.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/CouponIntro.php</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99194 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:46:40 +0000 marianna 99194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did look into it but I think I became overwhelmed and never pursued it... not exactly sure why. I need to investigate further as I could *really* use some savings right about now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99180 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:21:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 99180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle- I think you will like it if you can get the lists to work for you.</p> <p>I just finished my four week trial, and I saved about $80 for the month BUT I got so much more for less money! I now have a small stockpile of toiletries, non-perishibles, and emergency items that I am going to work at growing for the next few months. I've decided to keep two grocery stores and two drug stores while I work on my stockpile. My husband pointed out that right near my favorite Super Target are these four list stores, so I can hit them all in a single trip.</p> <p>Ana- it would be a good idea for you to start a price book to compare. I have one grocery store that is really cheap where I do my non-list shopping. Sometimes they have a better price than my GG deals, but not always. The list prices, when they are blue are considered to be better prices than warehouse stores like Costco. I have found that Costco's prices on many things are higher than my regular grocery store. The creater of Grocery Games says that she still buys her milk, cheese and butter at Costco. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99168 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:09:17 +0000 Michelle 99168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are some wild savings, ladies! I just may have to check it out, since it turns out they run the game in Canada too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99149 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:24:22 +0000 Ana 99149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I may look into it. I always like to save money on groceries. We buy a lot of non-perishable stuff at Costco though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-99147 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:21:53 +0000 shannon 99147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are having fun with the game Chewy! How's it been going lately? Saving a bit more now? It is overwhelming at first, but you get on a roll after awhile. I'm about to go print my lists right now. I sloughed off last week because I took a last minute trip to Vegas. </p> <p>Marianna, did you ever look into it? What did you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-93766 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:02:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 93766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I just wanted to thank you for bringing this up here. I had heard of this, even went and looked at the site before. There had been no free trial available at that time. I signed up for the free trial, and I am really loving it. I am learning more and more all the time, even though at first I was really overwhelmed. I've cut my grocery bill a little (well- this week by about $50), but we now have stockpiles of non perishable foods, toiletries and health items. I really get a kick of the checker's faces when they see my total. Anyone trying to save on their household bills should really check it out. You can do a free trial for a month. It's printable lists of the best grocery bargains by store in your local area. They match up the coupons to the sales to give you more bang for your buck, so all you have to do is pull the coupons for the products that you want and watch the savings add up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-87733 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:17:26 +0000 marianna 87733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. Never heard of the website. I sometimes print coupons from ppgazette.com. I'll have to further look into this Grocery Game! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grocery-game#post-87729 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:04:16 +0000 shannon 87729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anybody play "The Grocery Game"? Here's the link</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrocerygame.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thegrocerygame.com/</a></p> <p>I just got back from Walgreens and bought the following</p> <p>Gillette razor (not disposable) for my hubby<br /> Gillette blades (4 pack)<br /> Gillette body was for hubby<br /> Gillette shave gel for hubby<br /> Softsoap body wash<br /> Conair hairbrush for daughter<br /> Wet n Wild nail polish for daughter<br /> Wet n Wild lipstick for daughter</p> <p>All that came to $43.57. I spent $8.23 for everything! That's about 80% off. Wow! I just love to tell people that. I have saved more than that before. Once I purchased around $40 worth of products and spent $.40 on them. It's so much fun! I typically save around 50% at the grocery store. You should look into it. The money you save doing this could be spent on clothing and accessories. LOL! </p>
