Febuary's Spending Recap

I just sat down to check my receipts. My monthly spending for this month for a family of 4..
Out of Pocket Spending $416.59
Rebates Sent Out $30.96
Rebates Recieved $0.00
Earned Drug Store Rewards Currently Available $44.58


I was able to build a hefty stockpile again.  One month of couponing.  The effort is clearly visible in my busting cabinets, full linen closet and basement storage.  We just got back our income check and I set aside $17.50*52 (my papers = $910.00) plus $200 a month for groceries. So we will only have to add another $200 to it.  So the budget will be $400 a month which it seems I am right on target.  The rebates will be cashed and entered back into the spending money to further my stockpile!  I was $16.59 over budget this month.  Hey I'm not complaining!!  Do you have a budget? Any tips? I will post stockpile pics for you shortly.  Do you have one of your own?  I also want some feed back.. Do you like the videos or blogging better?  which format is easier to follow?
