My Monthly Savings Report--October
October ended up being a great month! I came in under budget again and this is my 2nd highest saving percentage for the year!
October Monthly Budget: $350.00
| Total Shelf Cost: | $ 744.02 | ||
| Total Coupon Savings: | $ 244.06 | ||
| Total Discounts: | $ 205.01 | ||

I came in $55.05 UNDER budget! I'm consistently buying all food, H&B and household goods for a family of 4 for less than $300 per month! This is a HUGE deal. Many families are struggling right now. The economy isn't great, food & gas costs are up and many people are struggling to find work. With times like these, we have to be smart! Learning to shop in a sensible way is a great way to save on everyday needs!
Live Frugal. Live Happy.
