Grocery Game

This grocery week was a pretty good week.  I continued to save about the same because I still buy items that we like to eat on a regular basis even if they are not on sale.  You are supposed to buy certain items that are free or that are on sale and stock up on those items.  That doesn't really work for us because I have a picky eater that wants specific items, but I still save money.

Total coupon savings:  41.01

Grocery balance:  138.63  

I also found some other ways that I can save a little more.  The Maynard Moment gives you all the deals from your favorite grocery store and gives you the coupon locations just like The Grocery Game, but it is FREE.  $5 Dinners gives you the deals for that week and tries to make each recipe or dinner for that night under $5.  I saw $5 Dinners on The Rachel Ray Show.  This website What's For Dinner? lays out a menu plan for each week.  I also realized I can double or even triple my coupons at my Krogers.  Why didn't I ask sooner...I will defiantly be doing that my next shopping trip.  

Coupon Savings

This weeks savings was a little less than last week but this week was diapers and wipes week.  Yuk!  Can't wait until both kids are out of diapers or at least one.  Remember I just started useing the Grocery Game to help me get all these great savings.  I just started playing so I am sure I will get better with time.

My total bill was $184.27.  I go grocery shopping once a week and I spend about $130-200 a week depending what we are out of that week.  I cook dinner everynight with the exception of one night a week we go out to dinner or good old Grandma's house (Mee-Maw or Nona).  Which is our very favorite!

The Grocery Game

Thanks to my Aunt for introducing me to The Grocery Game.  Take a look at the site if you want to save money on groceries.  It basically finds all the deals and coupons and leads you to them in what is called Teri's list.  Last Sun. I saved $15 in coupons and $44 in Kroger savings.  A total of $59.  Supposedly I will be saving more once I get my stock pile up.  I will keep everyone posted on my grocery saving.:)
