Signing up for the Grocery Game
I have heard a lot of good things about the Grocery Game, a site that does all the work of matching sale items with coupons to help families substantially cut their grocery bill. So I signed up for a four-week trial run of the service for $1. I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical of any type of coupon-related service that you actually have to pay for. After I signed up, I received a rather lengthy list of sale items at Smith's Food & Drug that can be paired with coupons I get in the Sunday Salt Lake Tribune. (You also can get a list based on sale prices at Albertsons.) It was nice having one nicely organized list to look at for reference, but I didn't see any item I needed that was discounted so much that I wanted to go to the store immediately and stock up. In fact, there was only one item you could get for absolutely free on the shopping list. (I had expected at least a few.) But I'm going to give it the full trial period before I make up my mind about the service. I'll be looking to see if the Grocery Game can help me make some matches of sale items and coupons that I wouldn't have figured out on my own. If it can, it just may well be worth continuing the membership, which runs $10 for each store's list every 8 weeks.

THUMBS DOWN on that site! Why in the world would anyone ever pay for a service like that?
The lady (Teri) who runs that site is making millions off families who need help, would would anyone ever promote that :(

The main problem I have with any kind of coupon-clipping is that for the most part, they are for processed food that we probably don't like or shouldn't eat anyway. Even with my store saving cards (which I hate because I feel they extort people and discriminate through higher prices against folks tired of having to haul out cards or enter phone numbers just to buy some food) I seldom luck out.
