It’s Works for me Wednesday at Rocks in My Dryer - this week’s episode:  The grocery game.

I played the Grocery game for a year before we moved from CA up to WA; when we moved I quit for a while because…I don’t know – maybe I like the punishment of paying a lot of money for groceries?  I started saving my coupons from the paper a few months ago, and last week I started playing the game again!  I did have a 10% off coupon for starting up a club card at Safeway, but combine that with my coupons and I saved 52%, plus I earned a $10 off my next visit coupon by buying $30 worth of “Living Well, Feeling Great” products, from cleaner to soap to lunchmeat to pasta sauce…you name it, it’s on the list. 

Grocery Game costs $1/week, plus the money you’ll spend on Sunday papers if you don’t already get the paper and coupons.  I use an accordion file, stick each week’s coupons in a separate slot, and when I check Teri’s shopping list for the week, it tells me what is at its lowest price and where I can find a coupon to get it for even cheaper. 

Not only do you save money, but shopping is so much more fun when it’s a game!  It works for me!

Make sure you remember Heather today!
