Coupon Saving Momma!

So my love for getting a good deal has now gone a little overboard! I have always watched in amazement and wanted to try and find those good deals on my own, but I've never put in the time to find coupons and match prices etc.

Well with Madilyn joining us in two months I realised that there are going to be a lot of items that we aren't use to buying. Which will increase our budget. I got the bug when I was able to find the great Kmart Huggies diaper deal! I was a little crazy and went to 4 different stores to stock up like I wanted to. I ended up getting a total of 14 boxes for 5.99 and I had 3-4 .50 coupons as well. It was a great score! Spent a little over 80.00 and it would have retailed for over 300.00!!

Now for my latest coupon run! This time I found a great savings at Walgreen's. They had 216 ct wipes on sale for 3.99 after the sale and an in store coupon. I had a couple of .50 coupons that I paired up. I also found out about there "register rewards". I'm a HUGE fan! There are certain items in the weekly ad that will earn you money back. So today I tried it out... Take a look at my goods!


5 Huggies wipes
2 Bottles of Scope
2 Boxes of Kotex
1 Venus Razor
1 Toilet paper
1 Sponge thingy
1 Omega Super Krill Fish Oils (Chris)  --- Regularly 26.99!!!

I ended up paying 38.00 and change for all of these items. Before sales, coupons, and in store savings it would have been 119.00! I was very happy with my first real couponing trip. I hope to stock up on some items so we wont have to worry about them as we are trying to get settled in with our sweet Madilyn.

Ok, I'm done :) Just wanted to show my stash for the day! I'll be updating week 30 tomorrow!! :)
