My savings rate is pitiful this month. I like to see it between 70-75% or more. I know I’ve purchased a lot of items without coupons for the holidays & kids. That trend seems to be continuing into December. Oh, well. I’m still under budget for the month. Also, Derrick bought a 1987 jeep wrangler (he didn’t have a personal vehicle), so I dropped our grocery budget to $280 from $300 to accommodate the additional insurance cost.

I just copied everything directly from the savings tracker this month. See more about my families spending habits here.
My weekly average was $59.64 (not too bad)
How did you do in November?
Wow thats still some pretty good savings. How do you track and come up the numbers?
