The Grocery Game and OCCWF Spring Writer's Day
How happy am I? Pretty happy.
So far, The Grocery Game has been a phenomenal success in my house. I'm embarrassed to realize how much money I've been wasting at the grocery store. Now, mind you, The Grocery Game does take some extra time so I'm not sure we would have realized this much in savings if I was working. Also, note that you have to do your shopping on either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday to gain the most savings.
My M.O. is to pick up the paper on Sunday (have you ever tried canceling home delivery of the paper? I'd rather pay the extra few cents and pick it up.) I cut my coupons and make my list on Monday and then I shop on Tuesday.
Here's what I've saved so far (drum roll, please)...
I saved 42% last week on my grocery shopping.
I saved 44% this week AND I got a coupon for $10.00 off my next shopping trip.
WOWEE-WOW-WOW!!
I'm simply blown away. This is totally worth the money.
I didn't have to change grocery stores and I even saved a trip to Target this week because all the household items I would normally purchase there were on sale at Vons. I even got a Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner because Rocks In My Dryer recommended it so highly. And I got it for $8.99. $8.99!!! I would normally NEVER EVER buy something like this because it seems like such a waste of money. But I really don't like cleaning the shower so if this works, then HOORAY FOR ME! If not, I'll let you know.
On a writing note (this is a writing blog, after all), the Orange County Christian Writer's Fellowship Spring Writer's Day (that's a mouthful!) is this Saturday at Mariner's Church in Newport Beach. I'm SO excited!! If you know anything about writer's conferences, you'll know that this is a real value. Top notch talent, big publisher editors, and really friendly people will be there, cheering you on in your craft. If you live in the Orange County area and write or even think about writing, you should plan to attend. Click here for more information and to register: OCCWF Spring Writer's Day.
Okay - that's enough excitement for now. I hope to see you at Spring Writer's Day!!
