Now seems like a good time to post my final 2005 Grocery savings \/ expenditure totals. Yes, it is nearly the end of March, why do you ask? I can neither confirm nor deny that until today there were 4 months worth of receipts sitting in my “receipt drawer”. I CAN NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!!!<\/p>\n

In any case, I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile, but, hypothetically speaking, cleaning out 4 months of receipts and entering them in the appropriate spreadsheets and stuff is very time-consuming. HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING! I have had one of my faithful readers asking me for these totals a few times, so Ramon, this post is for you.<\/p>\n

2005 Final Grocery Totals:<\/p>\n

Gross spending: $15,519.82
Coupons: $4,219.71
Doublage: $2,150.17
Mail-in rebates: $691.47
Catalinas: $906.40
Store savings \/ rainchecks: $5,973.97

Net price: $763.10
Savings: $14,756.72<\/span>

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. A month by month breakdown of the totals<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The big months were March (Garnier \/ Borders \/ Ann Taylor gift card deal), September (Thank you Peachtree Accounting!) and April (nothing like “buying” over $2000 of groceries for under $100)<\/p>\n

So far, 2006 has not been quite as lucrative – the past few months have not had very many good deals. January was 61% savings, and February only 37.64%. That all changed this week though, as Meijer has had one of the best deals in the history of couponing. More on that possibly tonight or tomorrow as I still have a trip or two left in me before the end of the week…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
