I've been at the Grocery Game now for about three weeks and boy is it paying off! My cupboards are more full than ever....and I spent half the money! Last night, my sister (one of my grocery game partners) and I spent an hour and a half, planning our "game". We went to the store and what a thrill! I bought $350 worth of groceries for $100. This included things like half and half, 24 lbs. of Tillamook cheese, an 18 lb. Turkey, 12 boxes of chex's cereal, 25 lbs. of flour, 3 bags of chocolate chips, 2 gallons of milk, 10 lbs. of potatoes, artichoke hearts, 4 cans of evaporated milk and a few other things I can't think of right now.
You can seriously save a lot of money doing this, IF you are willing to spend some time planning it out. It makes going to the store FUN! My sister and I feel like we are going on a scavenger hunt when we go shopping now. Saving the money is just the added bonus to the "game".
To learn more go to my partner, Dena's Blog, she is the Grocery Queen and has all the links.
