::A question for my readers: Would you like me to continue posting my weekly spending? Is it helpful to you?
Yes Yes Yes!!!!! Please keep doing these weekly updates!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to go look at my spreadsheet and see how much I saved!!!!
Question: Do you put all spending in excel or just groceries and household? Like clothing and gifts? I wish I could put stuff in seperate categories.
Yeah .41 cents is nothing really. :) It's all that tax! Way to go on the fresh fruit! It's nice to have healthy snacks on hand!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what other people have been spending. I can't do a true comparison with what you purchase because my closest Kroger is an hour and a half from here. It still challenges me and inspires me when I see others good deals. I'm sure it's time consuming to take pictures, etc. I say whatever works best in your schedule.... :)
ReplyDeletebtw-that last comment was me - heather :)
ReplyDeleteRachal,
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only been putting my grocery spending in the excel spreadsheet. I'd like to track my other spending as well but I don't want it on the same spreadsheet. I wish there'd be different tabs for different category's, gifts, gas, clothes, etc.
Thanks for your input on whether you want me to continue doing these posts!
Heather,
