August Monthly Totals

August 2012 Monthly Totals

• Merchandise Total (before coupons): $1,945.34
• Value of Coupons/Store Sales: $738.81
• Rewards/Gift Cards/EB's Used: $653.71

• Rebates $208.33
• Cost for the whole month $287.22
• Number of Items 594, Number of Free Items 438

This is a typical month for me now.  I rarely clear a profit for the whole month anymore.  Some of the things I bought this month will be sold on ebay, so that brings the cost down.  But since I don't know how much they'll sell for (and don't always get around to putting them up right away), I don't track that money.
