Where I will start...

So, I always put out all my purchase for any given day on the kitchen floor to "show it off" to my DH...so, I think I will start taking more pictures of it. I only take a picture of really good deals. So, I think this could be fun. 
I've been couponing since last February and have a considerable stockpile of HBA (seen here)...I tend to slack off in the food department. DH and I are buying a house soon and when that happens, I will start stockpiling food more...when I have more room.
I don't really keep track of my savings, mostly because it is a hobby to me and I am not an extremely organized person and I don't real find tracking/organizing to be fun.
But, I will put it this way...we have a budget of $75 a week for for the 2 of us for everything including food, entertainment, anything that is not a housing or car expense, etc...(put in place before I started couponing) (We are coming close to spending all of our bugeted gas money and if it starts to go in the negative I will start funding it with overage). And in the last year, our savings that accumulate each week have paid for a vacation, a used laptop and an extra chunk of money for a down payment on a house.
This does include the money I make when I sell my stockpile at garage sales and to friends/family & the money I make on rebates.
My DH collects cards as a hobby and I coupon...as of now, my hobby is making way more than his is...
