I am a working mom who is just trying to save some money. This blog will be posts about me saving some money by using coupons. I shop mainly in my hometown, but do travel out of town to be able to hit Kroger, Publix, etc.

February
February was a rough month for me. For some reason, I misplaced several receipts for Feb which means i can not post what I spent for the month. So I am beginning fresh. March here I come.

Budget checkup
So this is my first month of trying my coupon/budget. I am also working on building a stockpile.
It is Jan 21 and so far I have spent $353.89. That is $153.89 over my attempt at $200. So maybe $200 was a little low for me to start with. I will try to stick to $300 from now on. The good thing is I have pretty much everything I need to get through the end of the month. Next month I will try the envelope method to see if I can stick to my budget.
My savings so far this month is $305.83. So I have cut my budget in half by the look of my savings. Now if only I just had that $300 to put in the bank. ;)
