I used my Grocery Game List to shop at Kroger and Walgreen's. This was my last week using the Grocery Game list for Walgreen's. I feel I have learned enough about shopping at Walgreen's and have enough resources on the web available that I can do this without the list now. So from now on I'll be able to share the specifics of my Walgreen's shopping trips. I will continue to use the list for Kroger because it often includes unadvertised deals on the list and is a huge time saver for me. I feel that the time is saves me in addition to the money saved is well worth the minimal amount I pay for the service.

At Kroger I paid $41.23(incl. tax) for $68.07 worth of products. A 39% savings.

At Walgreen's I paid $5.81(incl. tax) for $10.14 cents worth of products. A 42% savings.
