can I ask....how much is your grocery bill? Anyone? I usually shop once every 2 weeks and it can be anywhere from 300-400 depending on what we get. Of course, if we do a Sam's run, which we did a few weeks ago, my bill has been under 300. That is for everything...health and beauty, pet food, toiletries, videos, food, everything...love the Walmart one-stop shopping. Then, over the 2 weeks, I might stop and get a few extra things or more fresh food. That might run me another 50 over the 2 weeks. Is that horrible or am I right in line with the "norm"?

We make a big shopping trip once a week but it's the trips back every second day that get us LOL

Michele,

That sounds about right..I have been trying to go shopping every two weeks since I hate going to begin with...LOL!!!!!!!! Trying, to use up some stuff that has been in our large freezer before I really stock up again on meats again..

I will stop and get milk, etc. if I run out before the two weeks. I usually spend between 200-300 for two weeks. Sometimes, I do try and get the stuff that I can at Walmart and then the rest at the grocery store!!

That's great!!! I think it helps having a Walmart close by....I don't have one so I have to go to a regular grocery store!! I went to Costco yesterday and spent about 200!!!
I really need to get back into the grocery game!!! I save a lot of money when I do that!!!

that sounds about right Michele, ours is half that but our kids are still very young and don't eat as much as we do yet!!!!

Gosh, ain't that the truth! Connor doesn't quite eat as much as Colton. Colton eats like an adult. Connor still will order off a kids menu and be satisfied.

Great, thanks again Michele for looking into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

I am interested in The Grocery Game! Clue me in too! I use coupons and usually save between 15 and 20 bucks each trip. What else can I do?

 

[kritter]

Do you have to pay to play the Grocery Game???!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Michele,

I'll be in WDW on April 11th so if you guys decide to get t-shirts from him. Count me in too. We will want some too!!!!!!!

It's great...I love it!!!
This lady named Terry put together this website, and every week theythey go through adds and put together lists of the best way to save money using coupons....Sun -Tues are the best days to shop because of the Sun adds.
They have everything layed out for you, they tell you the final price you pay, the percent of savings, they even tell you which coupons to use, from the date of the paper the coupon came out of, to the particular packet it comes out of (Smart source, Procter and Gamble, or redplum)
I love it!!! It helps me to organize my coupons, I just cut them all up, then I paper clip them together and write on the front the date and packet!!

I just found TheGroceryGame.com and yes, you have to pay. $10/8weeks for one store. If there is more then one store in your area, each additional store is $5/8weeks.
I like CouponCabin.com for printable coupons for clothes. There was another one that I was looking at when I was looking at the CVS thread, but now I can't find it. I thought I saved it. I was looking at the Rite Aid one. There is someone that took the upcoming Ad and matched the coupons that are out there with the ad! It was in a spreadsheet format, so all you had to do was find your coupon and go shopping!

That's exactly what the grocerygame does......in the long run, it is worth the $5 a month!!
I just pick what I want on the list, print the list, grab the coupons I need and go!!
