I downloaded a spreadsheet called Savings Tracker to make tracking my savings easier. You can get it here and it is available for Google Docs or Excel. I chose Google Docs as I don't have Excel. One of the great things about Google Docs is that you can access it from any computer! You just have to sign in with your user name and password.
I am a numbers person so this Savings Tracker has been really fun for me.
For the month of January:
Shelf price: $906.19
Coupons used: $307.09
Sale Discounts: $206.87
Total Savings: $567.96
Total Spent: $338.23
Savings Rate: 62.68%
The total spent is a little higher than normal but it did include 4 birthdays. It was also higher because Broulim's was doubling coupons on Thursdays in January and I knew I was going to buy more items to stock up at low prices so I adjusted my budget accordingly. Albertson's also had quite a few doublers throughout the month. Who says you can't save a lot of money with coupons?
Thanks again to The Coupon Project for the spreadsheet.
