I'm going to see how much I can save each month at CVS. I will edit the blog periodicly to figure it out.

Jan - $1387(me) $271(dh)
$1658

Feb - $521(me) $100(dh)
$621

March -$213(me) $0(dh)

April $TBA-Me $0(dh)


Running Tally $2279 Total
Me $2121
DH $371

The numbers are in! Grocery totals for January 2008:

Total oop: $342.88
Total coupon & sales savings: $612.80

64% saved!

We started Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover mid-January and have set as our goal a $50 weekly grocery budget including diapers and other baby necessities. We didn't quite hit our goal of $300 this month, but only going over by $42.88 is not bad at all! Plus that's $143.25 less than what we spent in December.

I've only done this once (so far...), but I think I did a decent job of changing plans mid-flight.

I intended to use up my pampers/Kandoo coupons since they expire today, but the Walgreen's around here only carry the $4.99 Kandoo refills, not the kind the coupon is good for. They also don't have the Fusion Phenom razors.

3 boxes Kleenex @2.19 each
1 Garnier fructis shampoo @3.99
1 Jane mascara @4.99
2 64oz Welch's Grape Juice @6.58/2 (B1G50%)
