Shopping savings - $503.75 - $2.25 Babies R Us (spent $13.50; 14% savings), $37.25 Brylane Home (spent $48.25; 44% savings plus will receive $25 back), $32.50 Byerly's (spent $31.50; 51% savings), $212.75 Circuit City (spent $496.50; 30% savings), $25 Coborn's Delivers (spent $30; 45% savings), $56.75 Cub (spent $75.50; 43% savings), $53 Menard's (spent $70; 43% savings plus will receive $60 back in rebates), $26 Rainbow (spent $27.50; 48% savings), $30 Target (spent $83.50; 36% savings), $28.25 Walgreen's (spent $43; 40% savings plus will receive $19 in rebates). It was a very big shopping week, but it was mostly planned purchases. Also, with Coborn's delivers, I had a $25 off $100 first purchase. I bought $50 worth of stamps, so the savings was calculated off of the remaining $50, since you can't really save money on stamps. Overall money spent was $919.25, for a total savings of 55%. After rebates are calculated (which will be reported as they are earned) I will have saved $607.75 or 66%.

Expense - $19 - Blog Giveaway postage

Total saved/earned: $883.75
