Woohoo Walmart jackpot!


I am tickled to death about my trip to Wal-mart today! Grand total

for everything pictured is.... $0.44, I saved $16.97. My 4 yr. old has to use Head and Shoulders. Between his allergies and eczema he has really bad dandruff. H & S has caused it all to go away. I couldn't pass up the buy 2 and get $3 off deal in the sample section. Then we went off to Target to hit up the Pampers deal. I paid 8.53 out of pocket and then did 3 more transactions shifting between 2 gift cards I have, adding on one and using the other. Ended up with 4 packs of diapers and 4 packs of wipes and only paid $8.53 out of pocket. I still have over $7 on my gift cards! Thanks you Money Saving Mom and all you other ladies out there who chime in and share your deals!

My-chaelala-latern in July


Isn't she cute. I couldn't help but think it is too bad it is July and not October, we would paint her face Orange ! She is so excited. Another dollar in her pocket. Good thing I have just one dollar left after garage sale-ing today!

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.
