Aside from cost, what is the difference between the Grocery Game and the CouponMom?


Recommended Posts

I did TGG about 3 years ago and was very disappointed. Some weeks I didn't even save enough to cover the cost of membership and a newspaper. I think the most I saved was about $5 one week during the 12 weeks I did it. (4 weeks free, one 8 week cycle). I don't really buy many processed foods, do most of our cooking, and I make my own cleaning supplies for the most part.

 

Now that I need to totally stock a new kitchen, I'm considering trying this again, but I don't want to spend the money on such disappointing results again. Especially if the coupon mom one really is the same.

 

So can someone tell me the differance between two?

I found the TGG to be better organized and easier to read, but that is about it. Honestly,I do better just watching sales and only keeping coupons for things I like. If I can combine coupons with sales I do alright.

 

I don't like shopping weekly though if at all possible. I have found that I save the most money buying cases of food on sale and just sending my dh to the store for milk, eggs, and such. The less I go to the store, the less I spend - coupons or not.

I didn't really get enough out of GG to be worth paying anything for it. I love couponmom. It makes it very easy to make my grocery list. I just check everything I want to stock up on or need that week and print it out. At the bottom add anything else I need. I think the GG is fine if you use a lot of coupons, but we don't. It also might depend on your area. I know when I first tried couponmom it seemed like their lists were off, but they are hardly ever wrong now.

I ALWAYS save more than the sub fee and any papers I get. Truly it's so cheap, like $2 a week for both. I don't buy a lot of processed food but I still save by using the list to know if the advertised sales are THE best price for that cycle.

 

 

When I did it last time (12 weeks - 4 free and 8paid), I couldn't find enough on her lists to even save enough most weeks to cover the $2 subscription fee and $1.50 for a paper. I literally would get one, maybe two items off her lists a week.

 

I looked at it more, and I probably won't even bother now, we've got two different produce markets and a 3rd store that they don't even list.
