The Food Problem: Keeping track of sales
| It's New Grocery Flier day. I'm not planning on buying any more groceries this week, but my husband has a habit of calling me up at the last minute with a list of things to pick up on the way home, so I want to be armed and ready with a list of what's on sale to steer him towards if he feels we absolutely must have more food in the stockpile before next payday. I've been having good luck with My Grocery Deals. It's similar to The Grocery Game and Coupon Mom, except that unlike the former it's free, and unlike the latter it's a lot more streamlined and easier to navigate (at least for me), and unlike either of the former it actually includes most of the grocery stores in my area. Once I registered and selected the stores where I prefer to shop, it started e-mailing me updates whenever any new sales prices get posted. When I log into the site it lets me organize deals by category, or by store, or I can search for specific products. Also, like both of the others, it includes a printable coupon gallery. It's pretty ADD-friendly, what with the e-mail notices, so that should keep me from forgetting all about sales and coupons. Slowly but surely, I'm getting on top of the food problem. Oh yes, I am.
