Many of you have asked for a spreadsheet that allows you to track your coupon savings throughout the year. I’ve hunted up a few great FREE tracking tools that will allow you to input grocery receipts – it can be very motivating to see what you’ve been saving and spending!
Record your savings for free with these tools:
- The Savings Lifestyle has a nice Excel-based GROCERY SAVINGS CHART with instructions. If you prefer an even simpler system, you can create a login and enter your information on the new online tool.
- The Coupon Project has an Excel-based COUPON SAVINGS TRACKER available with great commentary on how to calculate the percentage saved and how to set goals, along with other frequently asked questions.
- Couponing 101 has developed a GROCERY and COUPON SAVINGS SPREADSHEET that you can download to your computer or Google Docs account, including detailed instructions for using it.
SMARTPHONE APP? I’ve hunted around for a similar app for smartphones or tablets, but haven’t found any yet that would work for this purpose. Let us know if you do!
I personally like to track all of my store purchases for the year – including groceries, cleaning products, health and beauty aids and clothing. Others like to record only grocery spending.
Take a look at these files and find the one that makes the most sense to you. Remember – if you’re spending even a little bit less each month or getting more for your money, you’re taking a step in the right direction!
Thanks for mentioning our spreadsheet again this year, Jolyn!! I truly appreciate it 🙂
Thanks for making it available to everyone!
I’ve been couponing for 3 years now and keep track of all of my purchases in a simple Excel spreadsheet I created. Purchases include all groceries, cleaning products and personal care items. The only purchases I don’t track/count are alcohol related (which is probably a good thing!).
2011: Purchased $14,765.85, Spent $4,093.01, Saved $10,672.84 (72%)
2012: Purchased $13,251.50, Spent $4,656.54, Saved $8,594.96 (65%)
2013: Purchased $16,067.57, Spent $5,664.00, Saved $10,402.97 (65%)
This is the first year I tracked my savings, but I created an excel spreadsheet that I entered savings and oop and had it calculate my savings. This year I purchased $5,098.73 spent $1,462.89 and saved $3,635.84 that is 71% Not bad for a family of 3! Thank you for all of your help!
Spent: $3,701.19
