Budget calculations so far

Here is what I have spent on groceries so far this month.

Budget money spent: $154.42
Gift Cards: $82.47
Savings according to the receipts: $560.61

I was able to transfer some prescriptions to Walgreens for gift cards and I got one from the auto center for stopping by. They sent me an invitation with a gift card incentive... :)

I also have a gift card from Kmart that the manager sent to me to remedy a bad situation. He really did a good job at making me want to continue shopping there. The gift card was a bonus.

I am going to put together an excel spreadsheet that will track this kind of stuff for me. So I will have actual numbers for the whole month posted in the first week of the following month.
