I'm a GAMER....

a Grocery Gamer, that is! I have started getting Sunday papers and cutting the coupons and then I go shopping once a week for the deals that week. It is amazing how much more food and health and beauty items we have gotten in the last couple weeks. I have gotten several $11 razors for FREE...yes you read that right...FREE!!! I have gotten toothpaste for less than 50 cents a tube! It is great! I no longer dread grocery shopping. Now I look forward to the deals that I am going to get. It is so fun to hand the cashier all my coupons and see my total drop WAY down! The other day I went to Rite Aid (a store I normally wouldn't shop at) and purchased bar soap, hand soap, dish soap, deodorant, detergent, toothpaste, and Electrasol tabs. I purchased 67 items. The regular price of everything would have been $105.65...my total came to...are you ready for this...$22.45!!! WOW! Even the cashier commented on the amazing savings I had. We are now stocked up on those items and won't need to buy them for at least a few months (some maybe a year!). If this sounds interesting to you check out the link in my Favorites and see what The Grocery Game is all about. It has really changed the way we shop at our house. The boys ask if we have a coupon for this and that and how much will we save this time!
