My 2011 Savings and Spending Log

This blog was created for the purpose of tracking my savings and out of pocket spending this year and determining how much I actually save by searching for the best deals and using coupons. To anyone interested in following along, go for it! I'm extremely curious what my total savings and actual spending will end up being.

Unmotivated to post


So I've done quite a few shopping trips but have failed to blog about them. I just haven't felt motivated and I was sick last week which didn't help. I keep a savings spreadsheet and now I have a huge stack of receipts to enter... It's only February and I already want to give up on keeping track, so how will I be able to keep it up for a whole year!? ha... well, we'll see. I just need a little motivation I guess.

I spent an evening clipping and sorting all of my coupons, making sure to get them organized. I took this picture of Charlie, my sweet kitty. He was tuckered out from all that work!

These are a few trips to Fry's, Safeway and CVS that I made this week. After coupons and catalinas I profited $28.16!!!!!
