Okay, so I'm totally in love with my savings tracker! It makes saving money even more fun!
I have to confess, even though I was already a little over-budget for the month, I went to Walgreens last week - there were some deals I couldn't pass on. BOGO Hanes, diapers, men's shave gel, cheap Stayfree, etc. I spent $26.55, I saved $37.53 and earned $5 RR. The savings rate was 62% which really helped my average for the month!
Here's how January breaks down:
Total Shelf Cost: $760.63
Total Coupon Savings: $206.65
Total Discounts: $238.83
Total Savings: $470.96
Amount Paid: $359.72
Rebates earned this month: $25.48
Amount spent after rebates: $334.24 <------ only $34.24 over budget!
Savings Rate: 61.92%!

Don't feel bad! I'm over budget too. I was hoping for $250 this month, but because the deals were so good I spent more like $340!!! YIKES!!! But I REALLY stocked up this month and I've already vowed to myself that in February I'm sticking to a $200 budget!
