Comparing Savings Angel to The Grocery Game

I signed up for a free 4 week trial of thegrocerygame.com today. If I really want to make the most of my grocery dollar, I need to be armed with the best resource to help me purchase only what is on sale, for the very best price. Savings Angel does a good job- it has the sale information for all the stores I shop. I can go through and click items I need to create a cutomized list, with links to online versions (where available) to the coupons needed to save even more. If the coupon is not available online, there is still a little note to let you know if there is a coupon available elsewhere. And, at the end of the list, you get a break down of how much you'll spend (if you stick strictly to your list) and how much you will save.

The Grocery Game, on the other hand, has breakdowns of advertised sales and also of NON advertised sales. This, I think, may be where TGG beats SA. However, TGG doesn't agregate data for Target, and Target is a huge grocery resource for me because they tend to carry a better stock of healthier snacks, and their frozen fruit is always the best price around. Also, TGG doesn't give you an easy list to use, links to coupons (not that I could find, anyhow), or a breakdown of how much you'll spend and how much you'll save.

So, because I'm trying to SAVE money, and only want to pay for a membership to one site, I think I'll stick with SA. It's much more expensive than TGG, but it really is worth it to me.
