2009 Savings of $1,495 with coupons!!!

2009 has flown by!!!

I wasn't as dedicated to couponing as I have been in the previous year but still the savings has been great! I am still proud of what I was able to save.

In 2009, we spent$5,240 on groceries and SAVED $1,495. NOT TOO SHABBY!!!

There was one lost month of May that I couldn't find spending or savings.

This equals an average of $476 a month on groceries and savings of $135 a month of savings!!

Shopping the sales and applying coupons to the sales is WORTH it!!!
