Is the Grocery Game worth doing if I don't buy processed food items?

I'm also wondering just how much I have to stock in order to make this worth my time and $$$.

Thanks! :)

Well, most items are brand name items, such as salad dressings, toothpastes, shampoos, and all the stuff on the inside of the store. Just look through the coupons that typically come in your paper. How many of them do you use? She uses most of them, when the timing is right.
Since we shop the outside aisles of the store, we don't profit by the grocery game. I did it for a year though. Really stocked up on toothpaste and shampoo, enough that 4 years later, I'm still using my stock!

No canned soups, salad dressings, chips, etc. I was figuring as much, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

Thanks for the quick response! :)

I've been using the Grocery Game for about three years, and have literally saved thousands. I don't keep track anymore, but the first year I did it I saved enough to completely pay for my daughter's tuition at an expensive private school! I also don't buy a lot of processed foods...a few, but not a lot...and I still do really great. The trick is stockpiling. Buying in volume, freezing all kinds of fresh stuff (I use a Magic Vac), getting tons of household items...all these make it work for me.
