Well I had my lowest spending month and my worst savings % month for February. Totals are for a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 teenage boys), 3 cats and a dog.
Total retail - $712.66
Total saved - $413.46
Total OOP - $299.20 (saved 58%)
I finally spent under $300 for a month, but it was mostly because I didn't shop much. Also we went from eating out 1 or 2 times during the month to once a week. I have to get back on track in March.
