It was a semi-good month for coupon savings. Not my best but I splurged a couple times:
Subtotal before coupons: $240.17*
Coupons and discounts: $79.00
---------------------------------
Total Spent: $151.17
Savings Rate: 34%
Not bad. This does not include alcohol (alcohol is a separate budget category and between bars and purchases from home I try to stay under $50/month).
*My Grocery budget line item is $250.00. Through couponing I have been trying to cut this in half. I've been doing okay with that goal, spending between $99 - $150.00 out of pocket each month on groceries with savings rates of about 30-50%. Individual trip savings rates vary widely - from 13-70%, but I have been striving for a total savings rate of 50-60%. I could be doing better, but I don't want to take all the fun out of eating, either.
