Now my goal whenever I go shopping is to save 50%, so I aim to always cut my bill in 1/2. I am pretty successful now!

Here I got 2 bags of Cheetos, 2 packs of fruit snacks, baby lotion, and some children silverware for Autumn (my sister in law has them, and Autumn likes them). The only thing not on sale, that I didn't use a coupon with was that silverware. I spent $2.94, and saved $3.75

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I got 4 Warm Delights, 2 boxes of fruit snacks, 2 cake mixes, bag of goldfish, Pledge wipes, and Gerber Graduate snacks and side dish. I spent $2.24 and saved $12.73. (mind you I had a $5 gift card that i recieved earlier in the week from Target when I purchased some other stuff that I used with this transaction...so it would have been $7.24...still great savings!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I bought 2 bags of cheetos, 2 bags of fruit snacks, baby wash, baby lotion, 2 deoderants. (I don't use this type of deoderant but it was free after using a coupon...so I can use it in a desperate situation...I told Drew when we resort to using our food storage and years supply to not expect me to smell very nice. :)) Well this time I spent $2.75 but I saved $13.18

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I got 3 packs of fruit snacks, 3 bags of cheetos, 2 deoderants, 2 baby lotions, 2 baby wash. I forgot to get one of the deoderants, so I had to go back in on the same trip...you can see how I got it for free. I spent $1.73 and saved $14.84

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I got a loaf of bread, MultiGrain Cheerios, Banana Nut Cheerios, Sunny D, Bananas, a Red Pepper, a Green Pepper, dozen eggs, 2 seasoning packets (which were free after coupons), hot dogs, 3 tubs of frosting, 3 boxes of granola bars, and Capri Sun. I spent $14.94 and saved $30.19

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was todays shopping! I got 2 baby wash, 2 baby lotion, 2 packs of fruit snacks, 2 chips ahoy!, 2 pringles, 3 packs of Pampers diapers, 1 pack of Huggies diapers (which were free...I had a BIG complaint about a pack I bought for Autumn and e-mailed them. Not expecting anything, just wanting them to beware incase anyone else complained about the same thing and they sent me a coupon for a free pack), and 9 tubs of wipes. I spent $48.44 and saved $45.16. Not too shabby considering now I have a two year supply of wipes, and a one year supply of diapers.

This picture is from a couple of weeks ago when I started this post. This is in Autumns bathroom. The orange boxes are kiddie soaps, which I got for free also. And at the time I had some baby food stuck in there (I buy it when it's on sale so that when Weston starts on baby food I don't feel like I am out spending alot and cutting into our grocery budget)

This is the cabnet today. Check out all the lotion and body wash I have for the kids. This is their one year supply of hygiene products.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks ago this was my one year supply of wipes and 3 month supply of diapers.

Today I have a 2 year supply of wipes, and a year supply of diapers. (I have a dresser drawer full of diapers that I have already taken out of the packs...I was running out of room in the kids closet.)

Today is Earth Day...the Disney Store was giving away free reusable bottles when you brought in 3 recycleable bottles. So if it's free, I want it! Then because I feel guilty going in and just getting something free I bought this adorable reusable bag for $2.50. I love it. I have always been a fan of Disney, but Drews family has a slight obsession, which is wearing off on me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also- I got this beautiful bakeware for free. I just had to pay for shipping, which was $8. I know- I am a cheapskate, but I like to think I am smart as well. (if you want info on the bakeware let me know...every month I can get 2 items for free and just pay for shipping)

I have time today because Drew took the day off...I witnessed something this morning that shook me up and I called my sister crying asking her advice. I was just in a weird funk and felt awful, it was making me sick- so Drew stayed home. What cured me? Going shopping and spending money. What every woman loves. But what makes me even happier is getting great deals and saving money while I spend money. (And don't judge me for all the snacks I have bought. I was getting them for a steal and we are going on 3 vacations this summer, all which are road trips, so I am stocking up and already buying foods for them.)
