THE GROCERY GAME!

Let me introduce you all to the BEST Money Saving tip ever......

WWW.THEGROCERYGAME.COM

I used to do this a long time ago, in college. Some of my dear friends who read my blog know about it because we did it together!!! It's the greatest!

The Grocery Game was discovered by a California Woman (California Women are ever-so Brilliant) Named Teri. Teri Mastered the Art of Coupon Clipping and using those coupons against the store's weekly specials and in-store coupons to almost Steal your groceries. Forget double coupons-- how about TRIPLE AND QUADRUPLE!!!

The Grocery Game Teaches you to buy in bulk and stock pile. Which for me, is AWESOME because:

#1- I hate Grocery Shopping

#2 - Who has time to Grocery shop all the time??

I am a meal planner. I plan my meals at least a week in advance so this game works perfectly for me. I able to stock pile freezable items and meat and snacks and other wonderful things like toothpaste, deodorant etc. Like right now, I have 5 tubes of toothpaste. This stuff cycles so toothpaste will not be on the list for awhile but I have enough toothpaste to last a good while. This makes me happy because what is worse than running out of toothpaste during a critical moment??

The Grocery game covers name brands & store brands -- you name it, you will eventually be able to buy for 50-100% off. Yes-- 100%. Every week Teri Generates a list for your favorite Grocery store. You clip the Paper's Coupons and compare them to her list. She tells you which coupons to use and which to save for later. Each week her lists consists of :

• "Black" Items: Items that are a good deal but don't buy unless you HAVE to....
• "Blue" Items: Items that are a GREAT deal-- buy the number she tells you to buy and start stockpiling!!
• "Green" Items: FREE ITEMS! Yup. 100% FREE.

Yes, your next question is how much does this cost?? Well for the first 4 weeks, it's $1.00. After that it's $10.00 every 2 months.

$5.00 a month.

Not so bad considering............

A CLOSER LOOK

CLOSER....

CLOSER STILL!! Don't forget the paper products and Bleach! I normally buy these things at Sam's but it was cheaper to do this... The Paper Towels and toilet paper were 55% off and the Bleach was free with purchase of the Paper products!!
SO, now I have enough groceries to last at least a month, I know because I planned my meals at the same time I cut coupons and read the list..... So I got all major Groceries for meals and snacks for at least a month for a price that most people easily pay weekly.... I will make a couple of trips back in between for Milk and eggs because they go bad and can't be stockpiled.....

I buy Diapers and Formula at Sam's Club- Those don't count. They are a different part of the budget called "BABY"


TOTAL SAVINGS BY PLAYING THE GROCERY GAME: $130.82

I know you Envy me.. ;) and so did the pissed off people behind me line after I finished scanning my hundreds of coupons. The lady behind me said, and I quote (With a blank stare and jaw dropped).... "WHOA. That was worth it.... how in the hell did you do that??" I told her and now we are BFF.

It takes a bit of time and dedication to play this game, but I think it's worth it... With the Economy the way it is, we all need to save a buck where we can!

If you want to sign up go to her website: www.thegrocerygame.com and tell her Missy Brewer referred you.

Then we both get cool things.

Have a fabulous night.

Ciao!
