Grocery Game
August 25th, 2008I was intrigued by an online resource, TheGroceryGame.com, that Gigi Lehman included in her May 15 story about saving money at the supermarket (find link at MiamiHerald.com/Food). She was enthused, so I signed up.
Two months later, I’ve more than gotten my money’s worth ($1 for a four-week trial, then $10 every eight weeks).
Here’s how it works: The site tracks sale items — advertised and not — at your supermarket. (I could choose Publix, Winn-Dixie or Wal-Mart; you can pay extra for information on more than one store.)
It also tracks coupons in the Sunday newspaper, and generates a weekly shopping list of the best buys — a two-for-one deal on paper towels, for example, on which you can save another $1 by using the coupon that ran three weeks ago. (You quickly learn to save and date those sheafs of coupons.)
There are seldom more than a dozen things I want on the 50- to 75-item list, but the savings have been substantial: More than $80 on my best week and never less than $30.
