Coupon Savings!!!

As some of you know I have started coupon shopping. I'm still a little new to the whole thing and am still learning, like which store uses which coupons and how many coupons you can use and which coupon can be matched with another. It gets exhuasting just thinking about it! I have spent many hours on the internet exploring different sites and reading all their informative info. I finally think I have gotten a hang of it, for the most part. I just wanted to share with you some of my great shops :)


I got all this for less than 17 dollars...I thought I would stock up for when I start my daycare. I know Crayola is a little more expensive but they hold up better and are easier to clean off surfaces!


This was my first Rite Aid Shop. I think I did pretty good my total out of pocket was just around 4 dollars plus I got back 6 dollars back in Up Rewards for my next purchase. Its like they paid me 2 dollars to take it :) I have to mention that the buttpaste originally sells for 10.99 at Rite Aid.


My second Rite Aid trip for the week, I spent a total out of pocket 12.37 after tax, plus I got back 9 dollars back in Up rewards:) My face lotion and 1 hair-die alone is more than 12 dollars, So its like I paid for lotion and hair die and they said "hey take this other stuff for free and we will give you 9 more dollars for next time" =) Free stuff Heck Yea!!!


This was my Albertsons trip, I had to do it in 4 different transactions but was able to get everything for 5.50. I got 5 things of hotdogs 5 things of Kraft Cheese, 5 things of Cool Whip and 5 different things of Quaker products. If you don't believe me than just check out my reciepts below!


Thats right everything for 5.50, it would of been less but one of my oatmeals was a different price than I thought it would be. This was over $67 in savings!


This is my latest trip to Rite Aid I was able to pick everything up for 1.46 with tax!!! Not only did I only pay $1.46 but I got back $7 dollars in Up Rewards...I think I might be making another trip this week!

I have saved a lot of money couponing and have all ready started a stock pile. With me not working this is a great money saver :)

A week of fun!

Its been awhile since I posted so I thought I would post a couple of pictures from the last week.


Playing with her puzzle, the monkey is her favorite!


Our little fish, she will be swimming before we know it.


We went to Pig Out in the Park today, at River Front Park, it was a lot of fun...I took Ava for a ride on the carousel. She looks all smiles here but once it started she wanted nothing to do with it and was crying the whole time until it stopped.


Cuddles with daddy in the morning.

On Friday my mom and sister and Paxton came and visited for the day :) After lunch and a much needed pedi we took the kids to the park by our house, they had a lot of fun!


Playing in the splash pad with gramma!

After Pax was done playing in the water it was toy time!






Ava is no longer our baby she is such a big girl :(


I will leave you with a video of Ava's new dance moves and if you listen closely you can hear her sing. We always know when she wants to listen to music because she will take the remote and point it at the stereo.
