The GROCERY GAME ...

A mommy that I know shared this site.  It does make me curious.  Has anyone else out there tried this?

Slick idea and packaging, but I'm not sure it's worth it. If you live in a major city like I do (NYC) they have 8 store lists available = shelling out $40 every 8 weeks for coupons. I mean, yes, you might save by using their lists, but they take time to make up, too.
I also want to hear whether anyone's had personal experiences with this. Veeerrry interesting.

I think I may have left a comment for Sarah's blog here (OOPS!)...The money for the grocery gamy is seriously not worth it. The are sites who give you the info for free-you just have to look for them.

I like commonsensewithmoney.com , pinchingyourpennies.com , and hip2save.blogspot.com to name a few...

I'd love to hear from anyone that has used it. I'm so far away from "big" stores I don't know that it would work for me.

I once chatted with a mom who was using this during the trial period that is either free or very low cost. She told me she wasn't going to continue with it but it helped her get on board with using coupons in combination with items on sale/promos at the stores in town.

I feel like I have figured out how to play the grocery game on my own and from free information sources.

It does take some time to save big on the grocery bill but as a stay at home mom, I have just decided that is part of my job.

Oh, I have also decided it takes from flexbility to save too. I used to be very brand focused. I still don't buy very many store brands but have found that, for example, even though we have always been a Crest family, if Aquafresh is the toothpaste I can get for free, that is what we are brushing our teeth with. Just little changes like this can add up to savings.

I've seen something similar to this (Coupon Mom). I haven't really tried it, but I do clip coupons. If it works, it just might be worth it ... Every little bit helps these days!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment ... and for your prayers. I know you can relate; I am sorry for the loss of your dad, too.

God bless your day!

www.couponmom.com or org. is the same thing, but it's free. i've never really done it though. i've got friends who have done it and swear they save a ton! it's just not something i want to put energy into right now... though i may need to start ;)

I haven't tried that, but it does look interesting. I clip coupons, but I know some moms have a system where they save so much more with double and triple coupon days. I am still trying to figure it out. There are a lot of good coupon blogs that tell you how to do it for free.

I hope you are finding some good things to eat today!

I have never heard of this, but thanks commenters for letting us know about it. It looks quick and easy, but the video didn't say there was a fee? or I missed that part. I'm all for saving money, that's for sure. I'll check out the link someone above gave. Thanks for the info!

I think coupons are a huge pain in the behind. I do use them sometimes, but for me, buying generic (we have Meijer here and they have great generic!) is usually cheaper and easier. Most coupons are for stuff I would never buy anyways, and what I spend most on is meat and fruit...no coupons there. I do stockpile stuff I use a lot of when the price is the cheapest...I keep track in my head, although I plan to start a little notebook. Hope you are feeling good and not getting too skinny.

I only made it through 1/2 way through the video before I found it to be way over my head. It sounds like a great way to save some money but I just don't have the time to do it that way!
I am lucky if I can get out to at least 1 store a week. I usually get it delivered! (yikes, I know!)
God bless,

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
