The Grocery Game - trial run

The Grocery Game is a service that compiles information on how to best use coupons in the stores you normally go to.

I've heard about The Grocery Game forever, but never tried it or got much into coupons at all. It just didn't seem to pay. In our household, there are 2 adults and no kids; we're vegan and use natural products such as Tom's of Maine and Seventh Generation. We eat very little processed food such as cereal and boxed mixes. I shop at a local co-op and Trader Joe's, with an occasional foray to Whole Foods. I just never saw a way for coupons to pay off for me. At $1 for 4 weeks though, I thought I have to at least try it. I will be blogging about my results periodically as a non-typical user.

I am curious to see how it goes. I almost never go into a regular supermarket - living in the Los Angeles area, there are multiple options nearby. The reason I decided to join was that Whole Foods was on the list, but their prices seem high to start with so I will try to report some results here.

I almost only shop at natural food stores, so i am concerned about using it in regular grocery store. whole foods is on list, but prices are high to start. I don't shop at regular supermarket - i'd weight 300 pounds!
