Even if you are unable to transfer coupon savings to your savings, if you want to track it for the rest of the year do so here

You can just do for groceries or anything you use coupons on. I think it would be cool to see in the end what you accomplished by living like a MommySaver

Total:

January: $62.63
February: $78.89
March: $43.36

Jan note: (Harris Teeter had double up to 1.98 , and I did not include the BOGO at BJ's~ that would add another $12.99, but I only want to track physical coupons and ECB (b/c I do not utilize CVS as often as I should and I think of them as coupons))

Feb note: HT did their super doubles again!

Just to make it interesting, how about tracking coupon EXPENSES too? By expenses, I mean printer ink, coupon organizing supplies, money spent on papers you'd normally not buy, etc.

Could be hard if you want to figure out how much ink 1 coupon takes.
Since my dog ate my flipping printer cable NONE of mine were printed (but one of the purchases did include a new USB cable). And I don't buy extra papers, so my coupon expenses were $1.50 for the paper (or there abouts- it's a subscription) for a $33 savings (to date) in January~ pretty good!

ETA: Okay and my BJ's Membership which works out to $2.33 a month so still a good savings. I'm just going to track my savings from here on out, lol.

If we are including ECBs then $156.17

On the back of your ink packages it tells you how much 1 printed page costs. I cancel before big adds prints so I added both the black and color ink together and divided by 3 and figured each coupon costs at most $.13 each. But I use coupons at Office Depot and cut the cost of ink and paper drastically.

Our Costco membership is free because of the rebates we get. Every year when it is time to renew, our rebate covers the cost and then some.
