GROCERY GUIDE - FAQ's And Instructions

[wendypsaves]

I started with GG, too. I found HCW when I was trying to find more info about a sale at Tom Thumb (Safeway). With GG I consistently saved about 50%. With HCW I save at least 75%, and usually well below that. I ended up buying things my family doesn't really use when I relied on the lists. I still end up with things we don't use, but only when the manufacturers/stores are paying me to take them out of the store!

Everyone is so great about posting deals, scenarios, and match-ups here. I finally decided that the lists weren't worth the cost.

If you subscribe to more than one list, you might try giving them up one at a time.

I've never used GG, but once you read the forums here on HCW, you'll get more confident and you'll be shopping like a pro in no time. Just practice your match-ups, then look at your store forums to see if you've missed anything. You'll do fine. After a week or two, I'm sure you'll be more confident and will give up any "pay" site. HCW is the best and we're all here to help each other.

If you read posts on your favorite stores you will find that a lot of times somone will post the deals & match up the Q's for you. No sense in paying for this when HCW members love to help each other out. I'm sure you can do this on your own now but if you have any ?s just ask. Someone on this board will most likely know.It really is a great board. Love It!!!

I've looked into GG before and I'm glad I didn't join. HCW is sooo awesome and I've done very well by just checking other's posts and found some fabulous clearance, as well. I also like that there are people here local for me so, we can trade info on our favourite stores.

I do both. I enjoy HCW more, though, if that's worth anything to you.

The GG lists often refer to Q-ies or sale prices that didn't come my way. Then I'm sitting there wondering, "Why did I join?" ABout 75% of GG works for me, which is worth the $1.25 I spend per week to belong.

But the people at HCW are my favorites, because they do it for love, not cash! :D

Plus, I like not having to MUSHy everything I talk about here....

Laura, hoping the mod. will delete anything inappropriate that I've said here.

I use both web sites and really like them both. The CVS threads are awesome on HCW and I use them exclusively. My available grocery stores don't have as much info here and I use the GG list for that.

However, I love the openness on this site; I don't like to mush.

Could someone please help me with this? I just found this tool and it is AMAZING!!!

I would like to print the entire list first, so I get a feel for what the list entails, however, can't seem to find an option to do so.

I sat patiently and put a QTY "1" in every box to see if I could get the whole list to print, however, only about 1/3 of it printed.

HELP!

TIA, Kacey

Man I just realized we had that feature. Can't wait for it to be back up and running.

It is working ok for me.

Hot coupon world is just hosting the grocery guide, we do not run the grocery guide.
