Thanks to Jen-my friend from Madison, I have a new sickness. Hi my name is Amber and I am totally and completely addicted to Grocery Gaming. I blogged about it once before but just couldn't resist doing it once again. Hey, it's my blog right? I can write about it again! I am just loving this game of saving money! Here is my picture (yes, I took a picture because I was that excited!) of what I bought last week:
I got 3 things of Tide, enough makeup to last me at least a year (4 lipsticks, 2 mascaras, 1 foundation all in the brand I usually use), 2 things of Ziplocs, Scrubbing Bubbles, 2 of my very favorite cookie dough (Pilsbury), pasta, spagetti sauce, Halloween Candy, 2 boxes of pancakes, 2 kids toothpastes, Reese's Puffs (me and Josh's new favorite after the boys go to bed treat), hand soap, dish soap, and anything else in that picture that I forgot to list all for the low low price of $59.62! (The makeup alone might have cost me that at regular prices. At CVS I was watching the total as she rung it up-$69. Then as she entered coupons and deals it went down to something like $23. Nice! I think my total savings was something like $80. I look forward to Mondays every week (my shopping day) just because I have so much fun doing this. And no, I am not buying things that I would not otherwise buy so yes, this is saving me hundreds of dollars.
Today I got 1 Children's Tylenol, 1 Children's Ibu, 1 Adult Ibu, 1 Adult Tylenol, 2 toothbrushes, 1 tube of toothpaste, 4 bags of Halloween Candy, a bar of soap, a pack of razors, a bag of candy corn, hmm, and I think that was everything for I think it was $24. Plus I have $2 in extra care bucks to use next time.
OK, so now you all know, I am sick-I get totally and completely excited about going to the grocery store!
I have played that game before and yes it is addicting. My problem was the stuff is so cheap I would buy all the junk food I wouldn't normally buy so I had to stop. It is a good way to stock up on some food storage though.
ReplyDeleteOH yes, the grocery game! My Shopping day was Wed just before Play group! Oh how I can relate! I once bought...I should say got 18 packages of diapers for free. I paid $5 for every 3 packages, but then received a $5 coupon for every 3 packages. Wow, as you can tell I still get so excited about this deal!
ReplyDeleteI looked up the website the last time you blogged about it. I haven't had time to figure it all out, but you've definitely peaked my curiosity! Maybe after the baby comes I'll have time to look into it. Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that you listed razor blades inbetween halloween candy and candy corn...
