I finally entered all the receipts I could find into the spreadsheet and have my totals for 2010! Boy am I excited to see how the year turned out!!!
Our budget for groceries for 2010 was $1680 or $35 a week. To put this all in perspective our 2009 budget for groceries was $4420 or $85 a week.
I bought a total of $5339.12 worth of groceries (before store discounts and coupons).
I used $1994.27 in coupons. Took advantage of $1920.83 in store discounts. Mailed in $320.27 worth of rebates for a total savings of $4235.37!
I spent a grand total of $1424.02 for a total annual savings of 79.33%!!! Woohoo! For my first full year of using coupons I would say that was pretty successful!
Updated: I found receipts for November while I was cleaning out 2010 to make room for 2011 so this is the most accurate picture of our savings for the past year. I am looking forward to more savings in 2011!!!
How did you do?
Standing on His Promises, Mrs. Bubba
