Savings Tracker
Want to know exactly how much store sales and coupons are saving you? Want to track your grocery spending against a budget?
I designed a handy spreadsheet to do just that! Below, you will find two different Excel versions and new to 2011, the long-awaited Google Docs template. You are welcome to use this for your PERSONAL USE. If you are a blogger, you are welcome to link to this feature on your site (please do not make the download available on your site).
While I’ve worked to make this as user-friendly as possible, please note I simply do not have the resources (AKA time) to help provide personal Excel training. Therefore, I do recommend a basic understanding of Excel. And as for Google Docs? I had a wonderful reader take the time to set it up for me. (In other words, I can offer little to no support for that.)
Once you’ve clicked on the version you want to use, be sure to save it to a location on your computer. Feel free to make any/all modifications you wish.

Don’t have Excel?
I have a few solutions if you don’t have Excel.
1) Open Office. Best bet is to simply download Open Office. It’s free and compatible for both Mac and PC. You’ll then be able to open Word docs and Excel spreadsheets, including the ones above! I’ve used it myself and it works great.
2) Savings Tracker 2012 for Google Docs. Here’s the Google Docs version. I’m not a Google Docs pro and had someone help me set this up last year. If you have questions, you might be on your own a bit with this one! To find it, head to Google Docs Templates and search for “Savings Tracker” – the one by Angela Russell is the one you want. There were no changes from 2011 to 2012 for the Google version.
3) 2012 Savings Tracker in OpenDocument Format. I’m not entirely sure what this format means, but I had the option to save the file this way. Might be worth a try!
* Please note that if you are using Internet Explorer, the 2007 version will want to download as a .zip file. To rememdy this, either save it as a zip and reopen in Excel OR open using another browser, such as Firefox or Chrome.
