Getting Deep Discounts on Groceries!

I bring my kids to this local playgroup to meet with other moms and kids in the area. Three weeks ago the leader decided that we would have a contest to see who could make the biggest savings at the supermarket (percentage savings) The rules were pretty simple you had to purchase at least $50 worth of groceries prior to the coupon savings. Whoever had the greatest percentage savings in the three
week period would win a motorized jeep (donated by a local toy store) for their child(ren). I always thought of myself as a savings guru and figured I had a great chance at winning this. In fact when I
saved 63% on one of my shopping trips, I was sure that the jeep was ours! Last Friday we met and turned in our grocery receipts. I couldn't believe when Lisa turned in her receipts showing a savings
of 82% I had to look at the receipt 5 times. She actually got $143.87 worth of groceries for only $15.89! She also had a pocket full of other receipts where she saved: 79%, 73%, 68% and 67%. I asked her
the natural question how did you do this? She told me that she signed on to a program at: http://outofdebt4ever.net She had saw a television show for this and thought it was worth trying out. Well like the other moms at the playgroup I couldn't wait to sign up!

| Gee whiz, I'm sure glad that Alice was able to take time away from her "local" playgroup to register on GardenWeb today & tell us all about this wonderful program. If I can get 143 dollars worth of groceries for 15 bucks, I may let Alicia quit one of her night jobs. Who knew?? |

| But Alice, was it anything you would eat? I can buy lots of cheap groceries but the food may be so inferior we throw it out. Hmmm. Did you buy SPAM? |
