Subtotal before sales and coupons: $1135.81
Amount saved with sales and coupons: $841.31
Percent Saved: 74%
Total Paid: $294.50
For the month of March, I have bought $630.04 worth of product for $131.44, a 79% savings.

I donated $138.77 worth of products to charity. My freezer is stocked and my pantry and all my other storage spots are full.
March is a much leaner spending month for me...only the perishables will need to be purchased and our Diet Coke, of course! or any free items that I read about!

Grocery store $2,599.60 received in goods $1,138.57 spent 56% savings overall
Drug Store $1,582.17 received in goods $618.06 spent 61% savings overall
And much has been donated to charities as well :)
Now that the winter holidays are over and I'm well stocked/stashed again, I can pull back on spending but still manage to donate because some deals are too good to pass up when I know others can use the items.
