September Spending + Savings

I told you that I would keep track of my spending for September, well here are the results.  I moved 2 children into apartments and provide groceries for both, plus all of my nieces and nephews use my stockpile to shop before they head out for college.  I would say that I would consider myself purchasing for a family of 5!

I included:

• Groceries
• Eating Out
• Newspapers
• Coupons from a clippings service
• Gas

September Results
My Monthy Budget is $800

Spending Shelf Cost = $1200.97
Savings = $429.97
Amount Paid = $771.00
(My September Savings Rate was 35.80%)
I saved $29 this month!

I spent $123.63 on gas, $45.05 eating out and $12.77 at TheCouponClippers.com making my grocery spending only $589.55.  I rebuilt my stockpile too!

I wonder how well I'll do in October!
