Money-Saving Monday!

For those of you who don't know, I use the Grocery Game. I went through a brief period where I didn't use it, because it was too much of a pain. But we are reaching that time of year where the credit cards start creeping up on us, and I am NOT going to end this year in debt again!! So I'm back to the GG with a vengeance. Check it out if you haven't yet - basically it's a site where the woman does all the work for you (the coupon clipping/organizing is the part that can be a pain) -- she checks the sales at your local stores (you can sign up for up to 3 stores) and compares it to the coupons that are out there, and lets you know the best deals. It's pretty awesome, and a great money saver. My tip -- make sure you only buy what you NEED, and don't just stock up on stuff b/c it's cheap. The point is to SAVE $$! :) I speak from experience.

So today, our local Safeway has ground beef for $1.77/pound and peaches for 88 cents/pound. I'm very excited about these two deals.

I'll post later after my shopping expedition, to share the savings goodness.

I have been debating about joining,and you convinced me but I just did to give it a whirl. There is not A LOT that I buy, ya know? I have our main things, and that is it. But it will be interesting over the next few months to see if it helps me remember to cut coupons.
