Great work

I started doing something similar to this 1 year ago this week and continue the project.
Like you , I also kept a spread sheet to help me keep track of what I was spending on each item, qty of each item ,retail prices, sales prices, coupons etc.

From the first week of February 2013 until the end of December 2013 My totals were as follows :

Total Retail Price $2686.10
Total Sales Price $1542.05
Total Paid $ 697.72

I'll pm you with some suggestions, but it looks to me like you are doing a great job
Keep up the good work !

good job for putting your couponing skills into making other people happy

[chillys-willy]

Awesome job! Keep up the good work! I love couponing to give back. ( you only need so much body wash yourself )

[lotsasavings]

One of the best things about couponing is that you can stretch those dollars and share the wealth. Way to go!

Wow. Just wow.

I love the generosity!!! I also shop for a food bank and the other volunteers are always so amazed at how much I'm able to bring in on my budget. I tell people that learning to coupon lets me donate to the food bank instead of needing to use it.
