I have saved over $2,386 so far this year!

My August Spending

My grocery budget is $500 a month ($125 a week) for my family of 4. This includes food, cleaners, personal hygiene items, and sometimes a few miscellaneous items. By shopping sales, using coupons, and stockpiling when prices hit rock bottom I have saved $2,386.69 so far this year. Setting a budget really helps to control your spending. I give myself a realistic budget and stay as close to it as possible. This month I was just a little under budget.

This month I shopped at the following store: Safeway, Albertson's, Walgreen's, Big Lots, Yoke's and WinCo.

Monthly Budget $500

Spent $495.15 ($4.85 under budget for the month)

Saved $215.58 (30.33%)

I love tracking my spending; I enjoy seeing how much I save.
