3 Months

Its been roughly 3 months of tracking my savings and so far I'm at 24% of my 10,ooo. That is pretty good! My cupboards are full my freezer is almost full and right now I am just replenishing perishable items. Go me. I hope that eventually someone reads my blog and finds a way to savings too.

So far I have personally helped two people start couponing and both of them after I finished with them both saved between 65-70%, I'm so happy to have helped them.

CVS

So I was at CVS getting my deal this past Tuesday, when the register broke. I have money flaoting out there in limbo. Now I have to wait ten days for the return of my money. I have checked every day this week so far to find that the money still hasn't returned to my account. It is maddening but what else can I do but wait. GRRRR

A few weeks in

Wow a few weeks in and I have saved almost a thousand dollars. Can you believe it? I have done so much printing and clipping. It would drive you mad, but I soon hope to have a stock pile so great, that I will only have to replace a few items come shopping time again.

Publixs Shopping Trip

Okay today I went shopping and followed my list almost completely. But over all I saved 161.44 and I paid 289.12. That's a 40% savings yeah me. The amount I paid is going to be more right now because I am trying to stock up. I hope that soon my total Out Of Pocket expense will be less once my stock is up. Good luck Shoppers!
