So, last week was my first week with The Grocery Game.
It went like this:
*Total off the shelf price: $191.00
*Out Of Pocket: $103.00
*Saved: $88.00 (46%)
This weekend I printed my lists and did my shopping with Jeremy, and here is my breakdown:
*Total off the shelf price: $494.00
*Out Of Pocket: $231.00
*Saved: $263.00 (53%)
It is a little time consuming right now, as I am trying to juggle my list and coupons…but I am going to get a binder, and photo album inserts to put my coupons in so I can see them and stuff. I’m sure I will get faster the more I get used to it. I am actually having fun shopping. It really is like this game, getting the cheapest prices, and stocking up on stuff for cheap.
Yesterday, I kept teasing Jeremy and saying “Isn’t this fun?” and he was sarcastically saying “Oh yeah, baby! This is great!”.
Then we walked out and he looked on his receipt, and said “Okay this is kinda fun!” LOL!
The best is I bring him, and the coupons I have double of, I give him the doubles, and have him check out with the double products so we get the double coupons, and I don’t have to make 2 trips. It cracks me up though watching him…this tattooed guy using coupons. LOL!
Now, I’m a freak and want a deep freezer. LOL! I think in a month or so, I am going to get one, once my stockpile grows and I am spending less at the store for food all together.
Here’s my stockpile for 1 full week:
