  1. I'm a little confused.

    I added the total savings amounts and got your total of $5691.25.

    However, when I added the subtotals for the six months before savings/coupons I got $8356.89

    The average savings would be 68%.

    I wouldn't even have thought to re-run your totals if your average savings had not exceeded your HIGHEST monthly savings. That just isn't possible.

  2. LOL Not sure what I did...You know looking back, it does seem awfully high! :D I'm changing it right now...I was doing this sleep deprived, I'm afraid. School, kids, disabled hubby, and life has been seriously kicking my butt! Thanks for correcting me! :)
