I get asked a lot how to calculate the percentage saved on any given bill. I have an equation I have used for a while now. There is probably an easier way to come up with the percentage saved, but this is what my spreadsheet like mind came up with.
Equation:
Step 1: Amount Spent + Amount Saved = Total Value of purchase
Step 2: Amount Spent/Total Value = a decimal (we’ll call the decimal “A”)
Step 3: Multiply A x 100 = % Spent of total items purchased
Step 4: 100 – % Spent = % Saved of total items purchased
Example:
Let’s say I spent $11.00 and saved $76.00
Step 1: $11 + $76 = $87.00 (total value of my purchase)
Step 2: $11.00 divided by $87.00 = 0.12
Step 3: 0.12 x 100 = 12.6% (this is the percentage of money I spent on the groceries – So I spent 12.6% of what the grocery bill would have been w/o sales and coupons)
Step 4: 100 – 12.6 = 87.4% saved (I saved 87.4% on my grocery bill)

I am always wary posting deals that I haven’t tried out first. That said, I don’t want to be so conservative that I refrain from posting deals that you all may miss out on! So, know that I haven’t tried this deal. If you remember, when I posted Walgreens weekly ad/coupon matchups (go HERE) I gave the info below.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
