Oh my goodness this is wonderful the inspiration is just what I need to get back in the swing of things. I have been absent from the board almost two years and decided to get back this Christmas with some of those very cool rebates (NBPN) here
in AR.

actually the forums help me..I keep all my receipts for the month in a drawer or my binder, and usually when I get back from shopping, I update my oop and add up the savings as well

That's a good idea...I think I will try to be more consistent in keeping a running total...I usually just look at the receipt, smile and throw it in a box.

For those of you wanting to track your savings, use an excel spreadsheet! I found one on the internet last year, and it has been so great. Here is a link to a pre-formatted one for 2011. You will always know how much you've saved and how much this addiction, er, hobby, pays off.
