With stores like that, I just track the value of coupons redeemed. It seems like the easiest way to do it. Shylo, Walmart is the same way.

I save much more money through smart purchasing than I do through coupons at WF. Should I just do my best to estimate or just stick with the total spent and coupons only?

I will update that and suggest they have a google account to begin with since it may not work if they don't (I'm guessing). Thanks!! Jenny, that should work perfectly – you are right!

I too LOVE google docs great way to share and be able to access anywhere. I did notice your tips for downloading but think I found a more simple way to open in a personal google account initially (pretty sure it worked--I typed in my copied/saved google doc and it didn't change your original; if not please let me know so I can delete the file! but you can try it out too and see if it changes your original). But I think if you open the file link then click on "file" then "make a copy" and then choose a name to save as--your readers should be able to save it to their google docs initially (if that's what they want, rather than saving it as excel first then opening as google doc). Just fyi if it's any help! thanks again! these are great thanks! I too LOVE google docs great way to share and be able to access anywhere.

Then go to file - export - xls. Save it on your personal computer. Then go create/open your google docs account. Click on Upload (right next to Create New). Find the file you just saved and upload that file. Now, you have the information to update/edit on your own. Google docs is a great resource for those who like to have access to files online wherever, and for people like me without excel. Shannon, go to the spreadsheet you want to download.

Still save it as an .xls file since you will need that file extension to upload to google docs. I don't have Excel either and I only use the google docs online application for all of my spreadsheet work. HTH! Alisia, you should be able to follow the steps to use google docs.

If you could email me a copy of these that would be great. I told myself this year I was going to keep track of my spending better. We are going to be on a really tight budget I hope if I can get my husband to help me out. Thanks I am also having the same problem no xls so I can download it.
