Welcome back to my Couponing Made Easy Series. If you are new to this series go here to catch up. Do you like the new logo I made for the series?
Today’s topic is very simple. When we start couponing I feel it is important to keep track of how much money we are saving and spending. As an EXCEL junkie I have been using Excel spreadsheets to keep track over the past several months. I am going to share with you several different excel sheets you can use to track your spending and savings.
The Coupon Project Savings Tracker – This is a very simple spreadsheet to calculate your savings each month.

Saving the Family Money Coupon Savings Spreadsheet – This spreadsheet is organized by store. She is based in Jacksonville, FL and has Jacksonville area stores. You may have to add or change stores depending on where you shop. If you need help with this please let me know and I can help you.

These are the two spreadsheets I have found to work the best. It is very easy to plugin my amounts and see how much I have spent each month and see how close I am to staying on/off budget. If you have any questions or issues about either spreadsheet please let me know so I can help you get organized!!
