    Default lizzie fran's how much can I save

    I know we can all do our own math, but it's always nice to see little things we do to save totalled up.

    Wouldn't sign up for her services. She does have good examples. I think most of us do what she does. With our coupon inserts that we get on Sunday they usually correlate with the sales at Krogers. renee

    I'm amazed at what she gets for free. You don't see that here in Canada.

    It would be fun to keep track of how much we save though with sales and/or coupons for a full year. I think we'd be amazed how quickly those sale items add up.

    Rebecca, sure I'm game.

    When do you want to start Dec. 1 or Jan. 1st. I think I'll start on January 1 and do it for one full year.

    Edited to add: Because we have no paycheck for the month of January, my list will be very lean for that month.

    Homesteadmama, Jan 1st sounds good to me! Do have a question for you. How do we keep on our forum or under our name how much cc, debt, penny challenge, and penny challenge? Or do we have to type it in each time we post to the forum. Hope I'm making sense. If not, let me know. Thanks Renee

    I'd like to find out my savings. Would bonus card savings be included in that?

    Rebecca, check your pm. If you go into user cp at the top of the page and change your profile, you can put it in your signature.

    Jerry, yes they would. I think it will be interesting to keep track of our savings. Not only that it will show the price increases over the year as well.

    pqb52 I feel that you could use your bonus card. I see no reason not to. Renee

    Wow - she does get some great prices! You certainly don't see that around here.


    I'm game to keep track next year of my sales savings, coupon savings, etc.

    Sure do. It's always fun to do challenges with other people who are doing the same thing you are. It keeps you so motivated! Have a five subject notebook where I'm going to keep all my challenges. I may also put a subject down on how I can lower my bills each month or how I can challenge myself to keep my utilites down.
