Here are my current numbers since I started keeping track in March:
March:
Total spent out of pocket for the month: $567.83
Avg $128.24 per week
April:
Total spent out of pocket for the month: $380.57
Avg $95.14 per week
May:
Total spent out of pocket for the month: $425.02
Avg $106.25 per week
June:
Total spent out of pocket for the month: $323.34
Avg $80.84 per week
My goal has been to be at $75/week. I have been very close to that except for the first week of June which is why my average is slightly higher. However I am so excited at my progress. Don’t forget, I am feeding 4 grown people, my husband and myself, my 16 year old 6’3″ (I want to gain weight for football) son, and my 19 year old daughter (home from college) who has decided that frugal is a good thing and eats every meal at home.
For the last 4 months I have saved over $2200. That is over $569 each month. Click here to see how I got started using coupons and saving.
