Play the game

So I've been playing a game. It's called the Grocery Game. It was started by this woman named Teri Gault. Ryan and I saw her on the Donny Deutsch show when were were living in Houston...I thought it was cool then but didn't participate in it or learn anything more about it. It's just been recently that my friend, and now next door neighbor Becky, told me about it. She saves so much freaking money! She is teaching me the ins and outs of it all and I've been simply picking up a sunday paper full of great coupons which I date and file away, only to pull on them when its time to grocery shop. You go on to thegrocerygame.com and set up an account for a small fee every 2 months, put in your zip code, and in return, Teri gives you the participating stores in your area, and all of their deals and specials going on. You have to check it out!
Ryan is fully amazed and pretty much thinks i'm a super woman. Well thats what I feel like at least when I stand at the register and see my bill rack up to around $120, hand over my kroger card and it falls down to around $65 and then give a few coupons (which took me like 10 min to clip, because you only clip the ones Teri tells you to clip, hence, the small fee you pay for convenience) and ends at about $50. Thats what happened today. And that also included a 20 lb. turkey!
Some deals in the last few weeks have been so great!
- I bought a package of bacon, and with it came a dozen large eggs, box of bfast sausages, fruit cup, and english muffins all came free.
- Buy one get one free Wheat bread
- Evaporated Milk (for baking) free!
- Free Downy fabric softener
- Ghirardelli supreme brownie mix .99

...on and on! All name brand items, all great food! My friend Becky last week bought a gallon of milk for a dollar!!

In the words of Ryan "That's pretty awesome!! just sayin"

yes! i did that when i was in austin. it was awesome. we started it when we did the whole dave ramsey envelope system. i remember one time i went shopping after looking at the grocery game list and cutting my coupons and i cut my bill in half! i called my nana on the way home because i knew she would be so proud. a great way to save money!

I could'nt really get it... I tried. I kinda do my own grocery game. I use harris teeter with there buy one get 2 or buy one get three free, ocasional triple coupon or super double and it's like a drug (serious high) to come home with free food. I once used coupons mixed with a store special and the store owed me 50 something cents. They told me to get a candy bar since the store could'nt "give back" money. I love it!!!
