Today during Lily's nap I wen to the store by myself. I never realized, or maybe I just forgot, that shopping can be really fun. I hit three stores in 3 hours, and took my time the whole time, but I was on a mission. I have started a little coupon binder, and with all of Erika's good deals, like free Celery at Target, and stuff, I had to take advantage.
These are my deals of the day:
1) Free Celery
2) 2 big bag of holiday M&M's=$.50
3) Big bag of Cheetos=.$50
4) Stove Top $.29
5) A nice Sirloin steak for 2.50 (Orig. 4.99/lb, we just have to eat it tomorrow, which I will)
6) 1lb Butter= $1.25
7) Tabasco sauce= $.39
8) Phily Cream Cheese= $.22
9) Brown sugar $.60
I saved $20 in coupons. I was excited. Plus, I was able to try on a few clothes at Target, and get a new shirt and pants. I love the clearance rack, but its been a while (like a 8 months) since shopping was anything pleasant. I came home excited about my purchases and more excited about my savings. Yeah for coupons.
On a different note, we go pick up L's big girl bed (bunk beds) in about an hour. I am excited, even though we probably won't set it up for a while. Thanks to a friend it was wonderful deal I couldn't pass up. Probably will post about this when it looks girly and cute.
