Have you heard of The Grocery Game?

No, I’m not talking about a game people play on The Price Is Right.

But I am talking about a way to save a significant amount of money on the items you buy at the grocery store.

Here’s how it works, according to the site:

“The Grocery Game is a fun, easy way to save hundreds of dollars on groceries each month. TERI’S LIST reveals the ‘rock bottom’ prices on hundreds of products each week and matches them up with manufacturers’ coupons for the best possible savings at your local supermarket. The Grocery Game has exclusive databases that track manufacturers’ coupons along with weekly sales and specials, both advertised and UN-advertised.

With TERI’S LIST, the days of time consuming work required for effective couponing are over. The Grocery Game does all the hard work and research, presented in a quick reference format on the Internet each week, as TERI’S LIST. Members log in, spend a few minutes with a pair of scissors, and they’re off to win The Grocery Game!”

Some benefits of using Teri’s List (our review):

They Do the Research

One of their biggest draws is the research that is put into this site. They know about advertised sales, but it’s the unadvertised ones and the categorical sales trends of supermarkets that makes the site so informative.

They also differentiate between “investing” and “needs” shopping and categorize items into color-coded lists that help you know what items you can get for free, what your best deals are, and what you only should buy if you need it.

You Do the Clipping

Teri doesn’t clip coupons for you, though, and she doesn’t have all of the coupons on the site. You’ll need to do a little leg work of your own by cutting them out of your local newspaper or collect them from your mail.

There is a coupon center that is updated regularly, but you’ll still need to print the coupons out. The site even offers tips on collecting and dating your Sunday newspaper coupons so that you don’t have to spend more than 15-20 minutes cutting out coupons each week. Their system helps you know which ones you’ll need.

The States and Stores Included

You are able to customize your search to specific stores. Teri’s List includes stores in all 50 states and is always expanding. For an idea of what stores the list covers, I checked on my state of Texas.

I could get lists for HEB, Kroger, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Albertsons (for Albertsons: all areas except for the panhandle from Amarillo to Midland/Odessa), CVS, Walmart Supercenters (in select areas), Walgreens, Dollar General, and Family Dollar.

Is the Price Right?

Couponing is a big business and help like Teri’s will cost you. You can begin with a 4-week free trial. After that, a 1 store membership will run $10 every 8 weeks. If you add another store, it will be $15 every 8 weeks, and if you have a 3 store membership, it will be $20 every 8 weeks.

That price doesn’t seem bad when you consider that most participants save 67% each week or $300-400 a month on grocery items, according to their promotional video.
