Finishing up the shopping

It was a pretty good week for shopping. My sister Tallie was here visiting and I have been having a lot of headaches (Steven and Jake induced) lately so I just took it easy this week. I didn't even buy one single paper this week if you can believe it!


Anyways,

While Tallie was here visiting I wanted to teach her about couponing. And I figured the best way to do that was to go shopping and show her what it's all about!

So we went to Kmart. Probably my least favorite store in the entire world! But, they had free razors this week, so you know I just had to go there. Even if I knew I would be leaving with a headache.



We found the razors and there was a peelie coupon on them for free shaving cream! Awesome!
The febreze candle thingy was on clearance for $5 and I still had a couple $4.00 coupons. So for a buck I thought they would make good white elephant gifts.
Spent $3.37
Saved $45.98!!
Talle thought that was pretty cool too!



Then when I was at Walmart on Thursday with Jakers I got all this for free. Poor Jakers, he thought we were just going to get a b-day gift for daddy. Little did he know that he would be forced to wait in the checkout line for 15 minutes while the cashier verified with a manager that she could use all the coupons I gave her. Why do they not believe me when I tell them it's ok to use them? Do they REALLY think I'm trying to scam them out of 20 post it notes? Please, if I was going to be a thief, I would not be stealing post it notes from Walmart. Just sayin'
Spent $0.00
Saved $23.28


Then today I ran to Target and Kohls.

I have been keeping my eye on the school books in the dollar section hoping to get a few of them on clearance. But they were completely gone! I don't think they even went on clearance. Oh well.


The cat food was on sale for $1.34 and I had a $1.00 coupon
I got one more bag of the tide stain release tablets before my coupon expired. That's the not so fun thing about the end of the month, trying to figure out which coupons are about to expire.
Spent $3.37
Saved $8.89


Then I went to Kohls because Jake's church pants were dyed pink a couple of weeks ago so we were in need of a new pair.

The pants were on sale for $14.99
I found the Melissa and Doug shoe toy on clearance for $5.19! This toy is normally $13 bucks. I have been wanting to get this for Jake and I'm SO excited I found it at such a great price!
And the little girl tights were on clearance for $0.80 so I got them for our buddy little miss Sofie.
I also had a 15% coupon so that helped
Spent $24.07
Saved $33.74!



And here is my baby who kept saying: zeeze! zeeze! (cheese) whlie I was taking my pictures. So I just had to snap a quick picture of his cute smile!
