The budget was $3,000
My total came in at
$1256.16
-$152.76 for Mail In Rebates
Total Spent for budget of 2010
$1103.40
My Total Coupon Savings for 2010
$2759.75
That is almost 1/2 of what i allowed. I feel happy with that goal.
How did the budget compare to 2009 ?
In 2009 i spent $2165.16 Which is $1061.76 less this year than 2009. That's Great!
I saved $3747.31 in 2009
I saved more in 2009 the difference of $987.56
I did not save as much this year though as i did in 2009. We had some life changes thrown at us with our dental work, hubby's hours cut means less $, and our house taxes keep going sky high and car repairs.
My Goals for 2011
- Shopping More Spending less
- More time w/ family
- Cooking more at home
- Try to be more open minded
That i am going to set the New annual budget for $3,000
If i come in under it GREAT if i don't well then that means i did something wrong.

So you only spent $1250 for groceries last year. Is that correct? That is awesome. What is included in your budget. I am trying to create one for this year and am trying to be realistic since grocery prices may go up.
Thanks Mary for posting. Everything is included for the most part in my grocery budget. I do set up different budgets for different things though. Example Christmas, birthdays, school clothing things like that.
