Coupon Clipping & Money Saved

I started clipping coupons about a year ago. I was a member of a message board, where ladies were always sharing their great deals and freebies from clipping coupons. So, I had to try it out!

As I described in my first post to this blog, the most important part of clipping coupons is organizing them. If you can't find them, you can't use them!

So, some may ask, "How much have you saved?" Well, I've kept a list of totals from month to month on how much I've saved with coupons.

Here it is:

November - December 2007
$11.70 (Just getting started there! LOL!)
December - January 2008
$71.16
January - February 2008
$80.19
February - March 2008
$160.56
March - April 2008
$95.25
April - May 2008
$70.97
May - June 2008
$101.69
June - July 2008
$105.65
July - August 2008
$145.77
August - September 2008
$166.08

That's a total of $1,009.02 saved in 10 months! Not bad! Also, keep in mind that I am also stockpiling the things I purchase.

I am excited that I've stockpiled enough household and beauty type supplies that I won't be purchasing any until after the new year. I am going to use the money I would have used to build the stockpile, for Christmas gifts! What a great feeling!

I will share some pictures of my stockpile later this week. I need to take some pictures first :)
