I know that I haven't posted forever and I do have so much to update, write and share. But I am just cleaning out the office and realized that I haven't posted my savings for the year.
My goal for last year was to keep track of all of my recipts. (not including out-to-eat or gas). I did a really great job I may have missed some here and there but for the most part I did great. On each recipt I would write total bill $ and total Saving $. At the end of each month I would put them in a folder and add it up. I also kept track of how much I made at yard sales, on-line and selling coupon stuff to my family and friends.
This total includes all of my groceries, rebates, cleaning items, bathroom products, cloths for Aleena and I (and some of nates) Christmas, and many extras. Each month I wrote down some of my extras this is not everything that I bought this is just SOME of the extra things. Things that I sold to family members, gave as presents or charity, or sold at a yard sale.
28 panties
7 bath & body lip gloss
31 hair things
150 packs of batteries

Hey Toop--after you list what you earned at yard sales, etc. You should put a new total spent for the year. And folks--do you realize this is EVERYTHING she spent!!! ALL GROCERIES and household stuff!! This is incredible!!!
ALL I can say is WOW!!!! Where do you get your coupons? Are you getting them from the internet, newspaper, of in the mail? Maybe you can do a blog on the sites you can get your coupons{maybe} ok please thanks. And again WOW!!
I get my coupons from everywhere. I get 4 newspapers and print from the internet. I have also dumpster dived when there is really good sales.
Okay when are you coming to my house to train me on cutting coupons without going crazy, I'll let you hold Charlee for free!! You are soo my hero.
I idolize you! That is just mind-blowing! How cool is that, though. I really need to take some notes.
