I track my savings via a spreadsheet that I created. It gives me my total spent in a month, the total amount saved and the percentage of savings. Here are my totals for February:
Spent - $271
Saved - $908
Percentage saved - 77%
Now this includes 4 trips that hubby made without my knowledge or coupons or sales for that matter. If I take those out, here is what I really did:
Spent - $228
Saved - $904
Percentage saved - 80%
Either way saving over 77% off my grocery bill makes me extremely happy. And since I won't be going to the store for the next 2 weeks (suffering withdrawal I'm sure) , my weekly average spent will be $45. I can live with that. How many people can feed a family of 3 + 1 college student for $11 a person a week?
