A little over budget but the house is really stocked and I won't have to spend as much this week.
*My monthly budget is for Eating out, Groceries & Health and Beauty. It's easy to save money by couponing but holding yourself to a monthly budget keeps your stockpiling and eating out to a reasonable level.

Hi Michelle,
For the month of August, I spent $246.79 and saved $254.39. I did not count my Fred Meyer Gift Card bootie since the card was free to me anyway but if I did count it then I spent $273.57 and saved $292.77. The $26.78 I used on the GC got me $65.15 in groceries. I also purchased alot of "stock up" stuff this month, like pasta, canned veg and beans from the Rosauers stock up sale that will last most of the winter and a big rib eye at Yokes when it was on sale for $4.99/lb, which made a dozen steaks and a nice Rib Eye roast for christmas :) Ive done better in other months, but considering what all I did purchase and payed real money for Im feeling alright :)
