My tracked coupons Savings for 2012

[Coupon Saver]

I tracked my coupon savings all year and was amazed at the total for the year. I saved 2657.00 in 2012. I also recieved like other SC'ers many FREE items. Love this couponing thing and will continue to strive to do more in 2013. Thanks to all the SC'ers who traded with me and help in the savings.



Happy New Year Everyone.

Yes I would like to know as well. I track mine in my day minder.After each shopping trip I sit down with my receipts. ie. WM-6.50,NF-2.00,SDM-3.75 and just keep a running total each month. My savings are from coupons,MIR's, and free items from reward programs such as Optimum points,PC points and Air Miles. I do not calculate savings from price matching. My 2012 savings..........6011.59.

same here - one of my resolutions for 2013 is to keep track of all my savings and have better management of the expenses.

Coupon Saver - WOW!!! I did mine today as well and was excited to see $294.29 in my stash from using coupons (always put the money saved from coupons in a special container and only add up after the year has ended) but holy - you really know how to use coupons and save big $$$ Congrats big time! I don't print coupons on line at all but might have to start, especially since our local London Drugs is very good at stacking, aside from P&G - thanks for letting us know your savings!

That's a fantastic idea...extra money already saved without even looking at your bank acct.

I track my savings this way. I keep a log of every coupon used what I used it for and the amount of the coupon. At the end of the month I do a total and at the end of the year a final total. You can use the computer or just a 3 ring book to record the coupons.

My totals are coupons used, Free items and what they were worth. I do not include price matches or reduced items. This is strictly coupon use. After each shopping trip I immediately sit down with my bill and record each coupon used.

Hope this helps everyone. Its an easy and efficient system to use.

Wow! I am speechless seeing how much some of you saved by using coupons alone. I will take your ideas of tracking my coupons use. Thank you for posting.
