I too love The Grocery Game. I would encourage anyone to do the free trial and check it out althouth the real savings start after you have been doing it a while. I love seeing my grocery budget drop and drop while by cupboards get more and more full

The stores in my area RARELY run sales and NEVER double coupons (we ONLY have Super Wal-Mart, Hy-Vee and Fareway to choose from). We also don’t get a great selection of coupons in the Sunday paper (I know you’re thinking, where does she live? Blackhole, Iowa — oh that explains it all you say).

I have gone to buying my coupons on-line from http://www.freewebs.com/couponsnthingsbydede/ and stocking up. I’ve found it’s the best I can do. AND if they accidentally run a sale, all the better.

I try to stick to Aldi if I can and then I save my coupons for the CVS items. I might not always have the lowest prices, but my grocery budget is lower than most and I don’t have to fuss with as much clipping.

Your hints are great, but where we live, only one grocery store has sales, which aren’t usually on items I purchase. The other large grocery store has gone to a “consistent low price” policy. I do most of my shopping at Aldi, WalMart, and Sam’s Club, and I do use coupons when I can.

I’ve subscribed to The Grocery Game since March ’06. I can’t even tell you how much money I’ve saved with coupons. Its unbelievable and worth every penny of the subscription fee. I’ve been feeding two extra people for the past six weeks and our budget hasn’t been squeezed at all.

I clip and print coupons weekly. I also do “the CVS thing”. It’s fun – but also a necessity. Along with meal planning, couponing has saved me hundreds every month!

My mom is one of those people that clips coupons. It is not unusual for her to spend $15 on $180 worth of groceries.

I, on the otherhand, never cut coupons. It’s not worth the time that it takes to clip, organize, and use them.

I think that it depends upon how much one enjoys the process. My mom enjoys it a lot, so it’s definitely worth it for her … on many levels. Me? Not so much.
