Boxtops for Education

Boxtops for Education

Playing the Grocery Game

When I became a mother, grocery shopping was very frustrating to me.  I could not believe how much I was spending every time I went to the grocery store, and still we would run out of food before the end of the week.  I felt like I was in a rut with food choices for the family; always buying the same items and cooking the same meals. Tonight I saved $195 on my groceries.  I spent $128, for a 61% savings.  I bought enough granola bars and cereal to last us a couple months, as well as some new food items we have never tried before.  This transformation in my shopping is because of GroceryGame.com. Back in December 2008, I heard about the Grocery Game website, and when I posted questions … Read entire article »
