The Trowbridge Family: Yard Sale, Shopping, Gerber Party and a Date!!

It was another super busy weekend at the Trowbridge house!! We had a yard sale on Friday and Saturday (made a little over $200!), I had my Gerber party Saturday afternoon, THEN Dave and I went on a DATE! Like without the kids. Like we cut our own food up and not anyone else's! We went to Texas Roadhouse and then we went Christmas shopping. Kind of boring I know, but it was really nice spend time together.

I also managed to get a few shopping trips in all this craziness!

I went to CVS for the THIRD time this week!

I got 14 more Mentos gums (a few were swiped by Jakers)
And I got a few more Loreal lipsticks that were on 75%off!
Spent $0.35!!
Saved $53.74!!

So all in all this week at CVS I spent $0.61 for $194.00 worth of products! BEST.WEEK.AT.CVS.EVER!

Then I ran to Target

The campbells soup was on sale for $0.50ea and I ordered 15 $1/4 coupons from Ebay! So I was going to get 60 cans @ $0.25ea! But, I decided to only use 4 coupons and leave the other 11 on the shelf next to the soup so other families could take advantage of the deal.
The Airwick candles were free
The Kandoo wipes were $0.15
The floss was free
The body wash and secret D.O. were $0.50ea with the $5/1 olay coupon
The glade candles were $1.50ea AND I got a $5 gift card for buying them
The receipt for this trip is in the truck right now, so I cant tell ya how much I spent or saved, but it was a good trip!

THEN on Saturday, I woke up @ 5:30AM to go grocery shopping! It sucked waking up that early, but there was NO ONE at Walmart, so that was nice.

Ok, let me tell ya about this trip
Part of the reason I saved some of the Olay coupons for Walmart is because they will let you keep coupon overage. Which the Gerber formula is $6.24 at Walmart and I have $7 coupons. So $0.76 in overage towards the $0.97 D.O. from buying the Olay body wash is awesome!
So the 6 formulas were FREE (going to my donation)
The Swanson broth is on rollback for $0.50 and I have 15 $1/2 coupons! (still need to get 30 more but I was tired and didn't want to deal with 30 cans of broth. Due to the fact I was shopping @ 5:30AM!)
So after all my coupons I paid $0.74!!
Saved $75.29! Woo Hoo!

I just have a couple of places to go to this week. There aren't a whole lot of deals before "Black Friday".

And here are some pictures of the Gerber Party!

Silly Guy!
