It was my third week using The Grocery Game and I’m still very pleased with the way the shopping list I get each week and the money I’m saving.  In preparing for this blog post I realized that I’ve been reporting the amount of money I saved each week, but I haven’t been providing you all with the full data on my Grocery Game Trial. Because I have kids, I may spend more per week than some people, while others (who have more kids than my two) might spend more. So, it’s better to quantify the grocery savings by percentage of grocery bill and not just amount of money saved. It’s kind of like on The Biggest Loser when they report percentage of body fat lost in addition to the actual pounds lost when determining who the winner is each week.

Last week, I introduced you to a money saving, grocery coupon website called The Grocery Game. I told you all that I’d just joined the $1 first month trial and that I’d test the site’s money saving plan out and report my results here.  So, here I am… bursting at the seems to tell you all about it!

I’ve made a list of the pros and cons of  The Grocery Game based on my first impressions of using it the first week.  I’ve included my saving results and I’m going to share some other saving opportunities that you should check out. Here goes..

Seems like saving money is on everyone’s mind these days, myself included. I got a great deal on a subscription to my local newspaper recently, but I’ll admit that the best part of that for me is the Sunday coupons. 

I did a post a few months ago about easy ways to saving money on groceries that touched on coupons a bit, but since so many people are using them these days I thought I’d start a weekly series on coupons. I’m gonna share some new coupons with you (as they sprout up on the net), some hot coupons (ones you won’t want to miss), and even some expiring coupons so that you don’t lose out on any savings opportunities.
