6 Month Results ... Spent $2,306.50 ... Saved $9,074.80

We are halfway through 2011 and we have had a a lot of success so far.  So far this year we have cut our budget from $175 per week before we started couponing to $85.80 per week.  That's $2,218.50 cash in our pockets that we didn't spend.  Add to that the $6,856.30 worth of stuff that we got for free and that is how we got over $9,000 in savings in 6 months.
