The last couple weeks have been crazy over at our house. Last week was Finals Week...very fun. Then we had our son's birthday party on Saturday, and I have been trying to get laundry and other household things organized, all the while constructing our new house...whew! Anyway, I will now have more time to focus on the blog, couponing, and shopping!
I attempted to go to Walmart today for a few deals. I had all 3 of my daughters with me and apparently I thought that right before naptime was the perfect time to go. Our 2-year-old was having mini-meltdowns and the 3-year-old (who is allowed to walk because the baby and the other one take up the basket) had to touch EVERYTHING! I managed to pick up the few things that I needed though.
Walmart 5/24
I bought:
1 Carefree panty-liner
1 4lb bag of Iams dog food
1 Lipton onion soup mix
1 bag of Goldfish
1 bottle of KY Jelly :p
1 travel size Secret Deoderant
1 mirror/brush combo thingy that my daughter wanted
I used:
1 Free Carefree
$8/1 Iams dog food (This gave me $2.02 in overage)
$3/1 KY Jelly (This gave me $0.33 in overage)
$1/1 Secret Deoderant ($0.03 in overage)
The only things that I "paid" for were the Goldfish and the Lipton!
I paid $2.89 for everything.
A few months ago if I was able to get all of this stuff for under $3 including tax, I would have been thrilled! I am very happy with what I did today, but now that I have been getting so much for so little...spending more than $2 at a store kind of freaks me out lol
I am so happy that I started couponing!! I love a challenge and now I always want to out-do myself!!!This was a good opportunity to have Walmart "pay" me to shop...I almost wanted to wait and do it without kiddos. I was going to leave out the Lipton and the other stuff I didn't have a coupon for, but I didn't want to have an issue with receiving money back. I have their coupon policy handy of course, but I have ran into smaller issues than this before and didn't want to take the chance with crying kids.
