Where did the writers go to school? "Stuffing your cart for Cheap"? Whatever happened to proper grammar - even in catch phrases.
It truly does work better with the list then just by watching the store ads and using your coupons. Since doing the grocery game I've gone from saving about 25% watching the ads and using my coupons to saving between $35-50% a week using the lists. It is totally worth it. The message boards on the grocery game website are very helpful too.
True, you can't get their lists without the internet, and you do need to have room to store food, but a couple of the other "negatives" don't necessarily apply. 1) The "cost" of the lists isn't really a factor because you can save far more than the $5 a month the list costs in just one grocery trip, especially with all the free items. So "not being able to afford it" doesn't really apply. 2) Generics are included on some of the lists but a vast majority of the time you will get a better deal by purchasing a name brand item with a coupon than you will by just purchasing a generic store brand item, even if its on sale. If you use the system right, it's almost always cheaper buying a list brand name item than a generic. 3) You can certainly save some by trying to do it yourself, but you likely won't be able to do it nearly as efficiently as the lists do it, mostly because they keep a database of all the coupons and sales and do the hard work for you to find the very best deals.
I listen to your news everyday, I know you could report the news, but everything is negative about the business world. How about reporting some positive ideas of how we can change things. I it time to built hope for the human condition, if we not start thinking differently about how we feel, only then we open our minds to positive directions.
I was not impressed with this story. You can figure the same things out by paying attention yourself, without having to pay a fee to a website. I typically pay about 50 dollars a week to feed my family of five without a website telling me how to do it.
