March Savings and Losses

So March slammed to a close.  We ended up losing my father-in-law to glioblastoma (brain cancer). 
It devastated him, and the final few weeks were unbearable. 

Grocery shopping kinda happened here and there.  However, I am still amazed that our savings were 'the best month ever'.  A few people have tried couponing and a few people are on the band wagon .. it just always amazes me  that some people find it easier to pay FULL price.  Yes, it does take a little bit of organization - but hey - even saving 20 a week adds up to over a $1000.00 a year.  What would you do with that extra $1000?

With the funeral, I wasn't able to put much in savings this month.  Instead the monies went to pay for gas to and from the hospital (1 hour drive each way and sometimes twice a day), meals and flowers for the funeral and so on.

We did put monies against our debt and paid it down by $1556.02 this month.

 

So all in all, March was a good couponing month.  Now on to spring.

 

Rest in peace, dad.
