Just wanted to share with everyone how great I did for the month of April. I always had a goal of spending $200 every two weeks on groceries. Before I started using coupons again I would go in and spend $125 on groceries and then go back to the store 3-4 times again before the next paycheck. So I really never kept a real good check on how much I spent. Sometimes I would just not even go to the store afraid I would spend $30 on milk. Well, I decided to see how much I was spending with coupons. It felt like I was shopping more so I wanted to make sure I wasn't spending too much.
After totaling all my receipts for the month of April I had only spent $385.01. That might seem high to some of you, but for me that was great! At least for a start. I did spend money on some things just to get the ECB's rolling and I did make some mistakes and spent money when I shouldn't have. I would like to get this even lower, but to be under budget I feel I have made a great start. April is my month two of full fledged couponing!
Tell me how your doing, I would love to hear!
