Coupons!

Ok - so I have decided to get back into couponing!  I have hooked up with some good online resources (such as www.monesavingmom.com)!!

Tonight I went to Target - I got $45.68 and only paid $20.88!!  WHOO!  HOO!  $16.80 was from coupons and $8 was from cash that the boys had (that they bought toys with)!

Here are some of the deals that I got!

I bought a pair of Circo toddler socks - they were $1 and I had a Target web coupon for $1/1 Circo item - meaning they were FREE after the coupon!

I bought a bottle of SoftScrub Total cleaner- the price was $3.99 - I had a Target web coupon for $1 and a manufacturer's coupon for $1.50 - so I paid $1.49.

I bought Kraft Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese - the price was $2.04 - I had a Target web coupon for $0.75 and a manufacturer's coupon for $0.50 - so I paid $0.79.

I bought Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste - the price was $3.24 - I had a Target web coupon for $1 off and a manufacturer's coupon for $1.00- so I paid $1.24

I bought Flinstone's vitamins - the price was $6.49 - I had a Target web coupon for $2 off and a manufacturer's coupon for $1 off so I paid $3.49.

I also had some other items that just had one coupon attached to give some savings as well!!

Doing coupons is hard work and can be time consuming - but if you play it right you really can get some savings!  I am hoping to "learn the system" and really find some savings!  Wish me luck!  :-)

Fun Drinking Straws

Daniel's brother and his wife came out to visit on Saturday and brought the kids some fun drinking straws.  They twisted and bent to make glasses for the kids to wear while drinking!

Seth would NOT try them - just didn't want any part of it!  But Aaron LOVED them and had a lot of fun with them.  Alyssa got the hang of it too!

Here are some super cute pictures we got of our fun!!

Have a great day!  Hopefully I put a smile on your face today!
