If you're here, you'd probably like to save money on groceries, and that's the goal of our site. We're starting off with Seattle and the Big Island (Hawaii) as our first two regions. Our site has the current weekly sale prices from grocery stores in those areas, organized and sorted in a way that makes it easy to compare prices on similar items between stores. We promise it will be faster and more fun than flipping through all those ads you get every week! And while we're just getting started, we plan on adding more areas of coverage just as fast as we can- the Portland, Oregon area is our next region to add, then on to San Francisco and south through California.

While grocery prices are the primary focus of our site, our overall goal is to make it easier for you to save money on food. We'll also offer information on other ways to save: tips and tricks that, with a little effort (and a lot of fun!) on your part, can save you big money in the long run. Here's a sampling of blog entries we've got in the pipeline: "Bone-in or Boneless-Which is a Better Value?"; "Make Stock, Easy; Use Stock, Delicious"; "Harvest Savings with Foods in Season"; and "Shopper Loyalty Cards: Yea or Nay?". We'll also have a links page that will get you to sites on food history, manufacturers sites, and some recipe sites you may not know about.

The feedback we've gotten so far has been very encouraging. In fact, what most people are saying is, "Why haven't I heard about this site before?" The answer to that is, of course, that we're new! And being new, we'll be trying out some different approaches. We'd love to get your feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what we're missing that you would find helpful in your quest to save money.

We look forward to seeing you here, and remember: "GroceryBagSavings.com is YOUR place to save money!"
