Just when Shopping was discouraging me !

Today I left home at 7:30 am. Yep we were out the door for the second day in a row that early. AIY! We had allergist appointments and I determined we were going to do East Side errands that I put off till... So off we went to Barnes and Noble, 2 of the kiddos earned a free book each. Then to the Science Education Center. Such a cool store. We bought auger, petri dishes, dye and all sorts of fun goodies. We are going to grow our bacteria cultures this week into next! I am excited. This is right up my alley. A is learning about the immune system and diseases in Science. Then I kept missing my exit to head home. Ah well. A stop for me to eat to take my medicine and then to KMart to use up a gift card on undies and socks. I just hate to buy these things, they are soooo just functional and cost soooo much. Then I couldn't figure out their displays. Everything was a mess, signs were crazy. An hour later, I leave the store. At this point, I have spent a lot of money today. It kills me as I have been couponing and getting all these amazing deals and God has really blessed my garage sale efforts this year and I have even managed to pay for those purchases with my ebay sales. So into Walgreens and I was prepared for more money to fly out of my account. I walked out of Walgreens with a HUGE SMILE on my face with 5 packages of diapers, a bottle of motrin and 15 bubble envelopes. AND I spent NOTHING, that's right $0.00, out of pocket ! ! ! Coupons, register rewards and balances on my rebate gift cards that I had no idea were there. Best part my gcards still have balances on them! To top of it off I have something selling on ebay yet again, tomorrow is Thursday and time for more garage sale shopping.
