I really like playing games, as long as they're not too competitive. I don't even have to win every time! Some of my favorites are Sorry, Apples to Apples, Settlers of Catan (2 person card and board game), Catch Phrase (music edition), Clue and Quiddler.
I grew up playing games that were made up. Aunt Mary Jo's categories game (like Scategories), Don't Step in the Shark Infested Waters... We also played a lot of basketball and baseball as a family. My Dad would offer us $1.00 if we were the first one to spot a plaster truck, the temple, etc...I don't think we were too hard to please. And I love that my kids love these kinds of activities and games, too.
Yesterday, I played the Grocery Game for the first time. Totally not competitive, just simply fun. I signed up for 4 weeks for $1. I went through the lists of sale/coupon items for the local grocery stores, decided what I needed, printed out my list and went off to shop. It really did not take long to get ready. I bought $123 worth of groceries for $67!!! It felt sooooo good! So I guess the game is to see how much I can save. Love it.
After 4 weeks, it costs more to "play" this game, but I'm gonna keep giving it a shot. I know there are some of you shopping savvy people out there...what do you do to save money on groceries? I need some tips. I love saving money on groceries, I seriously think it is fun. Help feed my addiction!!!! Send your tips!

I have been trying to figure out this CVS and Walgreens stuff. My sister in law gets tons of stuff free with their rebates and CVS bucks!
I loved playing Settlers of Catan when we were in Utah...since we moved to NY we don't have "game friends" anymore. Another great one is Carcasonne. If you have a chance to play it I highly recommend it.
I've heard of this. Tell me how is goes. I'm interested. My sister did something like this to get her year supply.
