Savings Tracking ~ Mid-Year Report for 2011

I have another confession to make....I am no extreme couponer.   I have been tracking my savings since the first of the year using a Savings Tracking spreadsheet I downloaded at Savings Lifestyle.  Every week I input my out of pocket spending, my overall savings and my coupon savings for all of my grocery trips, Walgreens and Target visits. 

So far this year I have saved almost $1350 on grocery and household items just by using coupons alone.  Additional savings comes from store sales & promotions.  But my total % of savings only averages to about 46%.  This is a little disappointing and definitely does not even come close to comparing with those on Extreme Couponing saving 70-90% on their grocery trips.  One reason for this is stores in my area don't double coupons.  It's just not possible for me to get the same savings you see on TV.  I'm not trying to make excuses I know where a lot of my downfalls are and can list them for you:  ice cream, soda and beer!  We always have ice cream on hand and as I've confessed before I'm addicted to pop and love it so it's something I spend money on and it's not something you get a lot of coupons for - I just have to take advantage of store sales.  Beer isn't something we buy very often honestly - not even once a month, but when we do buy it it adds to the grocery bill quickly and takes a dent out of the percentage of savings. 

Do you track your savings?  How do you do it?  One thing that I haven't tracked is mail-in rebates, so any savings I get from those isn't being included.  Any recommendations for me in that area?  Do you have any guilty pleasures like I do that make your savings take a hit?
