My savings accounts are pretty pitiful at the moment. I dipped into them to pay a vet bill and some other things that came up. I haven't even done my bills yet (payday was last Friday - oops!) so I don't have figures to post here. All my bills are paid electronically, so I don't need to worry about anything being late. I just have to do all the things I do on my end to keep my account balances straight.

As usual, you kicked butt! My totals will be posted on the blog tomorrow, so please take a peek then. Haven't seen you over there in a while :o)

NICE!!

How do you keep track of all of that? More specifically, the number of free items? Do you just count the number of free after extra bucks/register rewards items? Or do you also count extra things you buy with extra bucks? Like if you grab a gallon of milk & pay with RR, does that count? I hope I'm making sense!

Amazing savings totals - and your profit is incredible! Wow, you deserve a margarita and a visit to the spa - that's a lot of hard word, to shop like that.

Amiyrah,
Thanks and I'll definitely check out your post.

Jenny,
Thanks!

Laurie,
I count the true cost for an item. So let's say I buy a gallon of milk using Extra Bucks. That milk wasn't free, I just used EB's instead of cash to pay for it. But if I bought milk with EB's and new EB's printed for the price of the milk, THEN it would be truly free and I would count it as a free item in my tally.

Chicagolandia,
Thank you! Mmm, I'm always up for a rita!
