Do you like the idea of coupons but don’t have time to be bothered with them?
(Me too)

Let’s try the grocery game. From what I can see, it’s a fun way to save real money on your groceries. A woman in Southern California came up with it when she turned her hobby for collecting coupons into a nationwide company.

The way it works is you punch in all the items you typically buy at the grocery. Then, each week they send you a guide of all the things you ticked that are on sale at your local grocery store. You strategize by buy stocking up on the things on sale. The next week it will be something different that’s on sale so your grocery buying will look different, you’ll have stockpiles of stuff at home. But eventually you’ll have everything you need and you will have saved potentially hundreds of dollars.

Interesting… wanna try it with me? It’s one dollar for a four-week trial.

Do you know how much you spend on your monthly grocery bill?

If you don’t you are twenty times as likely to be in debt according to bcsalliance. Check out their site for money saving tips on food. You’ll be surprised how much you can save with these simple concepts.

Another idea is shop at a co-op. This will not only keep your costs down but also, here it is again, buying locally grown produce is better for you and for the environment. To find out if there’s a co-op in your area go to localharvest.org.
