Gettin' crazy around here!

DevilDoc went back to school last week and I became the new den leader of Pookins Tiger Cub pack or den or whatever it is called. I have NO clue what I am doing, can ya tell? So, basically I am a single parent AGAIN! I totally have the hang of it but DANG, doesn't mean I have to like it.

I fell off the P90x wagon over the weekend, but I will get back on and add a week to phase 1 for good measure...BRING IT! Did some deal shopping last night, wanna know what I got?

Jewel-beef top round roast, 1lb. carrots and bag of cereal
reg 12.85
paid 7.74
Savings 60.23%

Target-3 first aid on the go kits and 3 travel band aid packs
reg 5.82
paid .20 (tax)
Savings 100% :)

Walgreens-2 pert plus shampoo/body wash 2-sure deodorant
reg 14.36
paid 2.56 plus got a $2 coupon off next purchase!
savings 86.07%

I got this nifty little budget spreadsheet that already has all the formulas plugged in so all you do is add your expenditures. It shows how much you saved in coupons, store savings and total savings $$ wise and % wise. Love it! Check it out here.

Month to date my overall savings rate is 56%...not bad, but not where I want to be. Striving for 70% next month.
