The Grocery Game- Terry's LIst

Sorry...link

The Grocery Game

I think Anna does it. Check out the Parenting board.

Oh, NSGraham does it too.

yes yes yes!!!

in the beginning you will spend a lot...my first week was $260 - but I save $120 (so $140 total - with coupons and club savings)

then every week I didn't need as much so it kept coming down...

this passed week I spent $30!!!

every week I save at least 40%

yes she told me about it

what they do is they track sales and coupons...it goes in 12 week cycles...maybe for a few weeks toilet paper is a really good sale...so you stock up using coupons that they track (sometime there is a sale and a coupon...but hte price isn't as good as it could be - so they tell you to hold off)


then the weeks that things aren't on a great sale...you have stock of...so you don't have to pay full price...

well...it depends...any given week they will tell you the exact amount to buy to get the best price...if its something we use a lot of - I will buy whenever they tell me...like toilet paper...but if its something like cookies...i let it pass...


I'll show you my list this week...in a sec....

I wish I could give you a NY list - but this is an example

Warning, dumb questions on the way....

You already have the coupons, right?
Or does she send them to you?

Someone colors their hair ....

The List Erica posted is whats on sale not exactly what she buys.

I subsribed for a $1.00 for the next 4 weeks but I look at the list and most of the stuff listed I don't ever use. I will try it out.

actually - I have decided to go gray

thats the list for this week...no need for pampers either!!!

Thanks for the info - I've never heard of this but I'm going to check it out.

ETA: Oh well, nevermind. It's not available in my area. Figures!
