Count me in! However, I don't count ECB's so my total will be lower.
So far this month:
CVS $0.88
Walgreens $5.75
Walmart $3.10

I'm in - coupons are not as fruitful in Canada as they are in the US, but I do occasionally manage to wrangle a store to pay me a cent or two to take an item off their shelves! Happens all the time in the US, but is so rare here (at least it is here in my area

I've never kept track of my coupons savings though so I'm totally ready to start to do so now.
Thanks for the challenge!

Well, as my status says, I'm clipping coupons like a crazy woman tonight. I had such a HUGE backlog of coupons that I just didn't get to in December with the holidays so I'm tackling those tonight.
I did save a few dollars w/ my shopper card earlier this week when I went in for some emergency items. I'll have to locate that receipt in my purse for the exact amount saved. That's it so far this month...these no-spend days help overall but it takes awhile between postings about savings!May Goals:
Only $300 for groceries this month - $206/$300
Monthly coupon/valued customer savings = $14.08
No wasted food!
Stick to budget!
Track spending DAILY
Get checkbook balanced
Save $200 toward EF: $85/$200
