My February saving vs. spending results - 66%

This month I spent more than I like to & my savings rate wasn't as high as it has been. I used our 15% food perks at Giant Eagle and got over $300 in food for $181 so that brought my percentage down a lot (since it was only like a 40% savings rate) & my OOP high. My goal each month is to spend less than $300.

I submitted for 2 rebates worth $15. (This does not include Staples Easy Rebates)

February totals:

Total spent OOP: $356.35
Total Saved: $664.69
Saving rate: 66%

We are saving up for a few vacations this year, so my goal is to spend next to nothing the next few months :) We have a lot of different food items, we will just need to be creative with our meals so we can use them all without buying a bunch of extras. Plus, I still have every single box of Hamburger Helper from this shopping trip back in September, so maybe we'll finally get around to eating it ;)
