Are you ready to head into 2014 knowing what your goals are? One of my favorite budgeting tools is to TRACK my shopping trips.
This tool is a spending tracking spreadsheet. Don't let that “spreadsheet” term scare you!! All you do is take your receipts (once you get home from the store) and enter three items:
- The Amount Spent (OOP-Out Of Pocket)
- Amount of Coupons Used (this should be easily shown at the bottom of your receipt)
- Tax
Everything else is automatically calculated for you to show you at-a-glance what your remaining budget is and your savings along the way!
Some Key Features:
- % Saved for Each Shopping Trip
- Total % Saved for the month
- Monthly Budget Tracker
- Total Year Spending (and Saving) Summary
- Rebate Tool so you don't forget them (and so you know how much rebates saved you over the year!)
- Detailed Instructions
- and so much more!
Read the Instruction Sheet HERE (these are also included on the first Tab when you open the file).
