Grocery Geek Presents: Catching Up on Coupons

July 24, 2010

So last week I told you that I was going to try to squeak through two weeks without a big grocery trip. I didn’t think I could do it. But, the flu hit a few of us midweek and so that made it really easy. Who wants to go out when your head is [...]

Grocery Geek Presents: Double Ad Days

July 17, 2010

This week I decided to try an experiment. But before I tell you about my experiment, here’s some background.
I love my local health food stores.
You see my local health food stores have tremendous sales on fresh produce. It’s rare that I buy any fruits and veggies at the standard grocery store, because Sprouts and Henry’s [...]

Last week I told you about Grocery University. It’s a 2+ hour audio program that teaches you everything you need to know about couponing and lowering your grocery spending. It’s a very thorough program that has benefits for newbies as well as veteran couponers.

Last weekend while I cooked and cleaned, I spent a few hours listening to the Grocery University audio series. Grocery University is a 2 hour, 19 minute audio course that goes deeper into the art and science of couponing than anything else out there.

And over the last thirteen years it has served our family well. I didn’t always do 30 meals every time, but having meals in the freezer has always [...]

Grocery Geek Presents: How to Make Costco Work For You

July 3, 2010

One of our very favorite family outings in a trip to Costco. We love it for the samples, for the buck fifty hot dog and soda, for the gourmet food at lower prices, and for regular old grocery shopping. It’s a place that FishPapa and I have shopped at for over sixteen years.
Awhile ago [...]

Grocery Geek Presents: A Weekly Shopping Trip

June 26, 2010

This week was pretty mellow on the grocery shopping front. The freezer is still pretty full and the grocery stores’ coupon deals aren’t really calling my name. But, we needed milk and a few basics, so I headed to two of my old standbys: Costco and Sprouts.
Costco is near and dear to our hearts and [...]

Grocery Geek Presents: Check the Dates Before You Stock Up
