    Thumbs up I tallied up my savings for Dec 2007

    Tonight I finally added up my spending for groceries and HBA for December and I am so proud that I had to share!!

    Total cost of items (this is iffy because many were on sale and I don't account for that on all items) $1168.02
    Store Savings (club cards, gift cards, etc) $241.32
    Coupons $634.63

    Total Spent: $267.57 22% of total cost

    WooHoo!!! This is for 7 people including a baby!!

    (This does account for the purchase of coupons...$72 for 4-12wk subscriptions to the newspaper, clipping services, etc.)
