A mom in our homeschool co-op recently shared with us about the Grocery Game, a grocery shopping system which utilizes coupons from the Sunday newspaper and weekly web-generated lists to find the rock-bottom prices for groceries in your area. Here is information from their website:
What is The Grocery Game?
The Grocery Game is a website that can save you hundreds of dollars on your grocery bill each month. Log in, spend a few minutes with a pair of scissors, and you’re off to win The Grocery Game!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.
What do the colors on Teri’s List mean?
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. We 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!
I haven’t used coupons in years. Since we have a large family, I have assumed that stores like warehouse clubs were the only way to go for us, and we don’t subscribe to the paper.
I was so impressed by the testimony of my friend who has been using the system that I had to try it, especially since you get a four week free trial on the website. Go here to see a sample of how the lists look.
After clipping my coupons and printing my list, I ventured to Kroger for a late shopping trip last week, playing the Grocery Game for the first time. I saved $61.19, which was 40% of my total bill!!
I am also using The Couponizer to organize my coupons, and I LOVE it! It’s a sturdy binder with places for all your coupons to be stored by category, plus it comes with scissors, shopping lists, and a bag for storing your organizer. For a limited time, a copy of Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom is included.
Since I already received this book from the Dave Ramsey booth at a homeschool conference this summer, I have an extra copy to give away!

Wow – what a great idea! Right after I was laid off about 6 years ago I went into hyper coupon mode and I did very well! I looked for items that the stores actually paid me to take… for example a 50 cent box of pasta and I had a 50 cent off coupon that the store doubled. That only happened like once – but I definitely need a way to organize my coupons! I have them everywhere…
I am getting into the whole coupon thing- this is great!
I definitely need to organize my coupons…going to check out that site!
Oh, man, I am known at home as the Coupon Maven because I am constantly on the hunt for coupons and deals, so sign me up to win!

I do not subscribe to my local paper either. However, I do look at the Kroger ad on their website to see what is on sale. Thanks for sharing with us.
Im so into coupons! I find it sooooo hard to buy anything unless I have a coupon, I cant even go out with out taking my binder hahahah
I heard about the Grocery Game and am bummed because it’s not in my area yet.
I try to use coupons as much as possible, thanks so much for the giveaway!
I am also bummed because the grocery game isn’t in my area, but have recently gotten back into couponing after several years of not doing so. It’s amazing how much money can be saved with coupons.
Great giveaway!

I lost my comment 🙁 So, I’m trying again!
I coupon and shop at the warehouse stores. There are just some things that you can never find coupons for so you can get them cheaper in bulk.

I have been wanting this. Thanks for the giveaway.

This book looks great! I have just started using coupons. My goal each week is to save 5% off groceries. Hopefully i’ll continue to increase that. We shop at a military grocery store (commisary) so they don’t have the shopper clubs.

I recently read about The Grocery Game and am still trying to figure it all out. Recent economics are driving me to do all and more to cut $$$ in the groceries. Where I thought I was a frugal shopper, I am discovering that better tips and tricks are available. Thanks for this opportunity.
I’ve heard about the Grocery Game. I adore the Couponizer and I’ve been dying to get my hands on that book. What better way than to win it in a give away? Thanks for the chance to win this!

I love couponing!
I’m a big couponer – but I heard that that website really does help. The trouble with couponing is that it takes time to identify all the deals, so it’s great that there’s a site like this to do that work for you.
I could definetly use this. I hope more people consider using coupons. Especially with money being tight these days.
I would love to win. This is such a great giveaway.
We definitely need to save money on food. I’m terrible at budgeting for food each month.
