A lot of us would enjoy going grocery shopping much more if we could save more money while shopping, and spend less on the things we really want.  Grocery shopping isn’t bad to do at all, we pick out all the food we want to eat for the week.  It’s just the bill at the end that kills us and makes us not want to come back.

Grocery shopping shouldn’t be thought of as a chore, but more of a game.  If you make grocery shopping into a game to see how much money you can save, you will actually want to go shopping.  There is a great website online that has made grocery shopping much more enjoyable.  It’s called TheGroceryGame.com.

So, what exactly is “The Grocery Game?”

The point of using coupons is to use them when the items are on sale.  So, not only will you save money by buying your items on sale, but you will also save because of the coupons.  For example, instead of buying laundry detergent on sale, you can go on the website and see where you can find a coupon in your saved Sunday papers.  Or, instead of just buying the detergent with the coupon, the website will tell you when to buy it by telling you when it’s on sale as well.

The whole point is to save the most money that you possibly can!  So, save each Sunday’s coupon books and hop on TheGroceryGame to see when you can use your coupons while the items are on sale.  It will also tell you when to stock up if there won’t be sales soon, and will even be able to tell you which items will end up being free!  For example, if you have a coupon for bread that says save $.50 and the bread is on sale for $1.00 your coupon will double and it will be free.  So, you can even find free items with this website!

The Benefits of Using “The Grocery Game”:

Saves money – First of all, the main point of using The Grocery Game is to save us money.  We want the items we want to be a cheaper price, and that is just what we’ll get. 

Easy to use – The Grocery Game is very easy to use, and only takes a few times of using it to get used to it.  Not to mention, when you use it once you’ll never want to go without it.

More organized – It will make your grocery shopping more organized as well. It will help you keep your coupons organized by telling you where to find them in your Sunday paper ads.

Cuts bill in half – You can also cut your bills in half when you use The Grocery Game.  My boyfriend and I always look for ways to save money, and we’ve found that several times we’ve saved more than we’ve actually spent.  So, stop spending more than you have to.

More fun - Instead of dreading shopping, it will be more fun!  We like to keep our items under $2.00 per item.  Our goal is usually about $1.50 an item.  Meaning we take how much our bill was and then divide it by how many total items we got.  If you’re not using coupons or Grocery Game you’re most likely spending more than $2.00 per item which really adds up, and can be costly!

Using coupons and helpful websites is a great way to save money.  If you save just $20.00 per week (which you easily could) you could save over $1,000 per year.  I’m sure you’re rather spend that money on something better and more enjoyable than groceries!
