We have been seriously using coupons for over a year, but we are often curious as to the dollar amount we actually save. We hear people say and we read about people saying they saved XXX from coupons and we wondered what our totals were. We knew in our hearts it was a bundle of money!
At the start of 2012 Jim decided he would begin to track our savings from coupons. He’s logged in every receipt from Target, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Kroger & more and he told me the grand tally for January…..
$915.00!
Amazing – simply amazing. He’s even tracked the “double coupon” savings we get at Kroger because our store doubles up to $1 and we know many of your stores do not. Without the Kroger doubling, we saved $756.30!
Do you track what you save? We recommend that you do, because when you see that big number written down it is like an instant rush of pride and honor. You are making a huge difference in your family’s budget and we applaud you for that!
If you do track it – comment below and shout your savings out loud. You have earned that right!
