 Deceptive title January 3, 2009
d.stuff (Kentucky)
First off, let me say that I am a "Grocery Gamer" and have been "playing the Grocery Game" with great success for over a year now.
I bought this book as soon as it was published because I thought it would be a good summarization of the "Grocery Game principles". But unfortunately the book did not live up to my expectations.
Only the first 129 pages give tips on how to save money while shopping for groceries while the other 133 pages are nothing more than information on how to throw a party and a collection of recipes.
So instead of buying this book I can only recommend you give the Grocery Game 4-week-trial a shot. This only costs $1 (as compared to the $10 the book costs) and has a much better chance of convincing you that the concept of grocery shopping, stockpiling and saving works than this book.
 Worth 1,000 times it's weight in groceries! December 25, 2008

When I saw Teri on the news for the first time in 2003, I started playing her "grocery game" that very afternoon, and it was the smartest thing I ever did. My family was in desperate financial straights at that time. Little did I realize that I had just given myself a raise which amounted to $300 to $400 a month. I was shocked and a little embarrassed to see just how much money I had been throwing away. The Grocery Game saved me a lot of time, too, and made it much less stressful to shop.
Shop Smart, Save More is a quick and enjoyable introduction to the ideas Teri has collected and refined since she was a teenager. Teri spends a few pages sharing her personal experiences with saving, beginning when it became her responsibility to buy groceries for her family. Her mother was sick, her younger sisters were depending on her, and her father was up to his eye-balls in medical bills. She didn't have the heart to tell her father he wasn't giving her enough money to feed the family, so she *made* it enough money by studying her store carefully and recognizing trends that are invisible to most shoppers. Although it was a real risk to experiment with shopping strategies at such a desperate time, she followed her intuition and began to uncover a better, smarter way to grocery shop. She's been developing these ideas ever since. Teri has been through financial hardship, and her advice is the real deal, as my own experience illustrates.
Teri's book also contains practical tips for making the most of your groceries and sharing the abundance with your family and friends. Teri reveals which products can be frozen, for how long, and how they should be defrosted for best results. She offers suggestions on which time of year is best for buying everything from cook ware, to children's bikes to a new home. She includes a sample plan and recipes for entertaining on a budget. I can't say it better than she did in the introduction: This book is about how to "savor," not just save.
I continue to learn from Teri. Seasoned gamers will certainly learn something new. More than ever, I'm happy to know that Teri's in the world, changing lives during this bleak time in our economic history.
Thanks Teri!
