November Grocery Total and Savings Update

I was kind of worried I would go over budget again this month. We started the month with a measly $107.60 because of me going over the past few months. I am happy to say that we had money left over this time! Here are the numbers:

Retail value $1084.13
spent $100.50
saved $983.63( savings of 91%)
coupon savings $626.68(savings of 58%)

I added back in a $8 rebate check that came on Saturday, so I have 15.10 left over! I will roll the surplus into December's grocery budget.

Savings Update

I made a deposit of $600 to our savings account. We only had $76.21 in the account for the past 3 months(I robbed it in July to pay for our bedroom set). We need to save $323.79 more to reach our goal of $1000 by the end of January 2009(see very bottom of page for more of our goals).
