does this really save money?

I was referred to this website, thegrocerygame.com, and I was just wondering if anyone else participates in this as well?
There's a small monthly fee but it says you can possibly cut your grocery bill in half. Does anybody else use this service?

I was just coming here to ask about the same thing! Actually, I think it would work good, and I was only coming here see if anyone would like to get the points for referring me. Of course, I am going with the free trial, and only sticking with it if saves me enough money to make it worth it. So the first person to pm gets my referral points!

I don't know either. I looked at it but I think I might just break even if I did it. I don't have time to go to multiple stores a week and I don't have space to store anything more that what I need at the time. Its a great idea though and would totally use it if I had a bigger pantry.

Personally...I don't use it. If you don't have the time to do it yourself then maybe it might be worth it but...
For me, I live in a small area so my local stores arent even on the list. Also, you can come up with so many other coupons other than just the sunday paper that you still have to match on your own. If you have the time to do it yourself that is how you really save MONEY. I don't pay anyone but ME.

In my area only Jewel is offered, and I don't shop there much so for me, it is not worth it.

I do like Coupon Mom's site though. And a lot of the other coupon sites have great tips, and someone will post basically the same info from the ads, and when a coupon came out. For no fee!

I signed up for it, but never used it. It was too much work for me.LOL But I know some others have used it with great success. Its totally worth it if you put the the time into it. Othewise it's a waste of $15.

I tried GroceryGame and did not see much of a change. I was spending more money just to get the stockpile. Now I get my list at couponmom.com for free and save money. It's not half but last week my groceries cost $97 and I save $71. I live in an apartment with not much room for stockpiling, but by using my coupons I can usually get two weeks of groceries for what I used to spend for one week. Please try her list for a few weeks.

I did the free trial and Kroger was the only store offered. I love Kroger but I noticed that the website doesn't give me much more than doing it myself. If you like to stockpile and buy name brand items, it would be great but I like to buy generic and cook pretty much the same stuff every month.

Ditto. I tried the trial and found that it took longer than doing it myself. I also like Copupon Mom. It's free!!
