The Grocery Game
A woman in front of me at the supermarket courtesy counter yesterday had a printout in her hand that intrigued me. It was a chart of sale prices and coupons for that store from The Grocery Game. She said she no longer clips and sorts all of her coupons. She just labels the circulars with the date rec'd and filed them away. Then when the Grocery Game indicates a sale and acoupon on an item that she wants to buy, she retrieves the flyer and clips the coupon. There's a fee for the service - but it may be worth it if it saves a significant amount of time for a shopper. I spend a lot of time clipping and filing coupons and reviewing the grocery store fliers.

I may give the trial offer of $1 for a month a test and see how it goes.

1. I am in CT too..
Southeast CT.

I checked into that site once. I have within good driving distance to me: Stop & Shop, Big Y, IGA, McQuade's, Shoprite, SuperWalmart and A&P plus a few smaller stores I never go to but would if I knew there was a good deal there.

When I put in my zip code I got: Stop & Shop, Shoprite and the CVS and Walgreens near me. LOL

So it sure isn't worth it to me. Would be nice if it had all these stores then it would be worth the price. But not for two stores and a couple of drugstores.

2. I had the same reaction once I tried it
It sure sounded like a great idea and a timesaver. But without Big Y it just won't fly for me. I'll just have to keep clipping and filing and circling sale items in the circular.

It sure was a neat shopping list printout though - sale prices all matched up with coupons
