After a few weeks of using "The Grocery Game" I wanted to provide a little update on the progress. I am still extremely happy with it and here are some quick facts and things I have learned so far.
- In the last three weeks we have saved more than enough money to pay for a pantry to keep our stock pile in.
- Out of 340 dollars in groceries, I have paid 155 dollars!
- A vast majority of the products I have purchased are name brand items.
- The 4 week trial period only costs a dollar, and after that it's 10 dollars every 8 weeks.
- There are many sales on the list that aren't advertised.
- Home Depot is a great place to get an affordable stand alone pantry. I think if/ when we get a house with a garage, we will get a couple more and line them up in the garage.
- For Ralphs, it's important to shop on Sundays because some of the sale items are gone by Monday evening. The sale period may differ for each store but for Ralphs it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
- The Grocery Game has changed the way I shop for food and it's given us the gift of extra cash in our bank account.
