Due the the holidays and my stockpile, I haven't been shopping as much or as carefully and sort of fell off the wagon a bit. With sales and decent coupons having slim pickings, it did not help my enthusiasm. After the new year, I will start tracking my yearly savings. (Excluding gatorade.) Hopefully the new year brings some good deals my way. The disadvantage of living off your stockpile is having to replenish it, but I am thankful that is has been there when I haven't felt like shopping. It is also a sense of security to me when uncertain times are on the horizon.
I have tons of expireds to clean out of my binder, as well as several inserts to cut, sort and file. A fresh start for the new year. See you in 2009!
