Keeping track of what I spend, save and profit!

Since we're starting a new year I've decided to keep better track of what I spend, save and profit with my couponing adventures.  I know many do this, but it hasn't been something that I haven't been the greatest at.  Organization really isn't my forte`, but I'm hoping that 2011 proves me to be better at it!

So here's the run down of this past weekends savings:

Walgreens:
Retail price of products purchased = $17.45
Total of coupons used = $11.25
Total I paid = $5.80 (and this was paid with a gift card my mom got me for Christmas!)
I received $7.50 in RR's (Register Rewards) to spend next time I shop!
I profited $1.70 after RR's.

CVS:
I did two separate transactions

1.  Retail price of products was $10.00
     minus $10.00 in coupons ($4 of that was ECB's the rest was Manuf. coupons)
     Total out of pocket was $0.00 !!!!!!  Yes, you read that right!
     I got back $4.00 in ECB's
     I profited $4.00 after ECB's

2.  Retail price of products was $16.30
     minus $11.16 in coupons ($4 of that was ECB's from the first transaction)
     Total out of pocket was $5.15
     I got back $4.00 ECB to use next time I shop!

All in all between Walgreens and CVS I got $43.75 worth of products for $10.95 out of pocket.  Plus, I receive a total of $11.50 in ECB's/RR's to use next time I shop!

I'm also looking forward to a future trip to CVS to get 5 bottles of Wisk laundry detergent for only $11 out of pocket and walking away with $10 in ECB's for next time.  Stay tuned and I'll share that adventure and show pics once it's done!  (I'll share how to do this in my upcoming coupon class as well).
