At the grocery store I shop at the most, according to their records (as shown on the receipt) I saved $571.75 in 2008. This includes sale items and coupons. Wonder if I will be able to get better with using coupons and shopping more efficiently as time goes on...

My total savings at the same grocery store in 2009 were $668.46 [that's nearly one hundred dollars more!]
