[CouponQueen23]

Ok forgive me I am sure the topic is here I hunted a little but I am posting move post if need-be I am looking to figure out the % I have saved,

I see lots of peoples siggy saying save xxx % and this has insrpired me to want to see my % saved

My most resent trips reciept says

Total before saving $37.18
Your total savings $27.96
total after savings $9.22




Then shows store cars savings $17.96
Manufacture coupons $7.00
Doubled coupons $3.00

This seems so fun to think of my percentage saved this trip, and will make my trips more fun to try to beat the last, Any info will be appreciated and sorry if this topic is already covered move delete or merege it's all good

I think you saved 75%. But I am not that great at math.

But here's my calculator math-

100/37.18=2.68X9.22=24.79

So I'm assuming you saved 75% or 75.21 to be exact.

If that was way wrong sorry. LOL

You can get really specific about calculating savings percentages. I am tracking my savings in 3 categories: Store sales (what I would save even if I didn't use Q's), Q's and doubling Q's (because only one store doubles here, and may at some point discontinue doubling, so I like to know how much I currently save using this opportunity).
I find that I generally save 20% just by shopping the sales, another 20% using Q's and another 10% doubling - or an average 50% savings. Using my breakdown, your savings percentages would be:

1.Savings from shopping store sales (assuming they didn't raise the price before discounting) = $17.96/$37.18 = 48.3%

2.Savings from Q's = $7.00/$37.18 = 18.8%

3.Savings from doubling Q's = $3.00/$37.18= 8.1%

Total Percent Saved = 75.2% - Great job, by the way!

I just divide savings by total value, so 27.96/37.18 = 75%.
