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.
