See Spot Save

When I first started this experiment. I started an excel spreadsheet to track how much I was spending and how much I was saving and where I was saving it.

The figures

Retail value of items bought: $804.90

Total price paid : $237.41

Total saved: $567.49

Not bad for a months work right?

This spreadsheet has allowed me to track which forms of savings are most effective. So far sale prices and coupons are neck and neck being only 75c apart at about $225 each. Together they make up about 90% of the savings. The drugstore rewards programs and catalinas make up the rest.

These figures don't include taxes or crv which I do log but don't take into account when calculating  things but I do track them.
