January Savings

Since the beginning of the year, I've been closely monitoring my savings on a spreadsheet. These are grocery store/drug store purchases of food and toiletries. Here goes:

Shelf cost: $959.85
Coupon Savings: $198.88
Total Savings: $490.74
Amount Paid: $469.73
Savings rate: 51.13%

Not too shabby. My goal is to improve my savings rate each month. Bring it on February!
