Chances are if you know more than five moms, you’ve heard of The Grocery Game. If not, www.thegrocerygame.com is a website that can save you hundreds of dollars on your grocery bill each month. The only requirements are access to weekly coupons and regular internet access. A Sunday subscription to a major newspaper like the LA Times or your local equivalent will get you all of the necessary coupons.
When you play, you’ll get a weekly list (called Teri’s List) of the lowest priced products at your supermarket matched with manufacturers’ coupons and weekly specials — advertised and unadvertised. The Grocery Game does all the hard work and research, and presents it to you in a straightforward format. Teri’s List is color-coded. Black items are a good price. Buy these if you need the item now. Blue items are for stockpiling. They do not expect this item to go lower so stock up while the price is at rock bottom. Green items are free. These are not “Buy one get one free” but are actually free after sale and coupon, all you pay is sales tax.
To play, clip your coupons and pull up Teri’s List online. Then check off the items you want to buy, print your customized list, pull the corresponding coupons and you’re ready to shop. Teri’s List matches sales to coupons from weeks past, along with new coupons from this week’s Sunday paper. Visit the website to see an example of Teri’s List and your potential savings, as well as access lots of printable coupons and other useful information.
You can get started with a $1 trial. This will give you four weeks to try it out and see if you like it. After that it costs $10 per store for an eight week period. Most areas only offer one store list. But if you happen to be in an area where more than one list is available, for each additional store list you choose, you’ll be billed an extra $5 every eight weeks.
