This is pretty much only relevant to those of you who buy a lot of groceries rather than eating out. Also, you need to subscribe to or buy the Sunday paper (N&O).

The deal with the Grocery Game is that they supposedly track sales trends and the coupons printed in the Sunday paper, and then tell you what is the best stuff to buy every week based on how cheaply you can get it relative to long-term sales trends. I spend maybe 10 minutes per week between clipping coupons, reading the Grocery Game and finding the coupons I need for that week, and I usually save about 50% or so on my bill. Before I started doing this in January I was probably spending about $80 per week for groceries for myself and my boyfriend, but now it's more like $40 or $45, and I buy more stuff.

You pay them $10 every other month to see the list, which really isn't that much if you do a decent amount of shopping.

I won't go into vast detail about how it works, since I don't know if anyone will actually care or not. I was really glad my bf told me about it, so I figured I would share in case anyone else would like to do it too.

If anyone actually does sign up, let me know. I think if I refer people I get free weeks.

It is ridiculous what you can save on that, but you have to pay a fee....

mildew does not pay fees to get into clubs or to buy groceries.


But they showed the lady who did this go to the store and get 350 dollars worth of groceries for ~70 bucks.
