Eating Healthy and Saving $$$!
I just wanted to tell you how much of a blessing The Grocery Game has been to my family. You see, several years back we found out my husband and children have multiple food allergies. This makes grocery shopping not only difficult, but very expensive... our grocery budget had climbed higher than a mortgage. I knew I had to do something to get this under control, but "How?!"
(Before The Grocery Game) I began cutting back... I worked hard and was able to shave about $200 a month off our grocery bill. There was one problem though... empty cabinets. At the end of the month it was so frustrating to scrounge around and try to come up with a meal with what was left in the cabinets... I was exasperated.
Another mom I knew suggested the grocery game. Truthfully, I thought "Yea.... that's a joke! It will never save us money; there are no coupons for what we eat!" I went to the website anyway and just looked. I couldn't resist just trying it out for $1 for four weeks..... just to show that "it wouldn't work"!
Boy, was I ever wrong!!! The first month I spent about the same amount that we usually spent on groceries each month. There was one big difference though.... full cabinets! And a full closet in the bathroom... and an increasingly full freezer... and paper products stored on top of my freezer...
It truly took me about 12 weeks to get to the "cherry picking" stage... and cut my grocery budget almost in half!
Needless to say... I have suggested the Grocery Game to many friends and acquaintances over the last year and a half. I tell them they can save far more than me because they don't have food limitations. Most just laugh and say they don't have time for coupons. The ones who try it though are the ones who come back and hug my neck and say, "Thank you for telling me about this! I'm saving so much money for my family!" Yes, you can save money with the Grocery Game, even if your family has food allergies!
Thank you Grocery Game!!!
