Happy 2012! I really fell off the wagon with keeping track of my weekly deals last term, but I will try to do better this year, if only because it helps me keep track of my savings.

Total paid: $2.88
Total saved: $7.60
This was by far, the best month since I've started, with savings of $529.87 this month alone! We probably don't need to buy more laundry soap for the next couple of years, and we are fully stocked up on men's deodorant and toilet paper, along with shampoo for both me and my partner. I have also been finding more coupons for staples (cheese, pop, cereal, soup, meat, snacks, etc) mostly through trades, so the couponing is starting to really cut into the grocery budget in a noticeable way.
This may be a slower month, as things have been tight financially, the film festival is in a week (which I avidly attend) and I'm starting school again, leaving me less time for couponing. We are also getting a cat (!!!) which is very exciting, but will take up some of our finances and time, particularly when we first get him in about a week.
I'll try to be better at keeping this updated as the deals progress. So far, since starting in May, my total saved is $1,354.64! I've made probably about 20 coupon trades, joined 3 trains, and graduated from a small to a large zip-up binder. I've also put together a large gift basket for a colleague whose wife just gave birth a week ago, for such a minimal cost. I'll post pictures once it's assembled.

Weekly deals - July 14th-30th 2011
I've been on vacation for the last two weeks, which greatly reduced my shopping. I even missed a 20x the points event, the first since I started couponing. However, I took the time to organize my coupon binder and to pick up a few items. Here's what I picked up:

During my trip, I revealed my couponing to my sister and mother. My sister made fun of me at first, but got to profit from my couponing a bit: I gave her a coupon for almond milk, a Meow Mix FPC, and told her about the LaRoche-Posay deal at SDM. She got 3 kits for the price of 1 so far. My mother has said that she'll start saving coupons for me.
One of the best things about going away for vacation is the pile of mail waiting when you return. It was huge!! I should have taken a picture of it, but I was too excited to open all of the envelopes and get my coupons organized!
My total saved for the last two weeks was $27.19, bringing my total saved so far to $696.58! I hope this week will bring bigger savings.

Weekly deals (so far) - July 4th-6th 2011
I usually wait until the weekend to post my weekly deals, but I've had such a good few days of couponing that it deserves a mid-week update! I received my P&G coupons in the mail on Tuesday, and it's a good thing I did, because I got to take advantage of the Walmart Satin Care Shave Gel deal, and to use them during the Double Coupons Event at Pharmasave. That's right. Double coupons. In Canada! The fact that they held an event like that alone was super exciting. I wasn't well-prepared for it though, so it took a long time to get the little I got, and now my binder is a mess. All worth it!
