Crafts & Coupons

What a full day.....and soooo much better than yesterday!

Today was spent working on a few crafty things for Benjamin's 1st birthday party, running a few errands, cooking dinner, a bit of laundry, and making Benjamin's smash cake for Thursday.

(I'll post pictures of the few crafts after Thursday)

Ben was much happier today and actually took a nap, woo hoo!

Here's my little guy staring out the window after dinner tonight.

 

I'm kind of new to the coupon world, at least in a more serious way, so I am really learning a lot and loving how fun it is to get great deals.  Here's what I've bought the past 2 days.

*  2 Finish Dishwasher detergent systems

* 2 Halls cough drops

* 2 StayFree Maxi Pads

* 4 containers of Dreyer's ice cream

* 1 box of Motrin PM

* 2 jars of Jif Peanut Butter

* 2 Dawn dish soaps

* 2 boxes of Ritz crackers

* 1 Milky Way

* 1 bag of M&M's

* 1 bottle of contact cleaning solution

* 1 tub of Wet Ones wipes

Guess how much all of that cost me???????

$0.00

Yes, you read that right.  $0.  Nothing.  Nada.  ZERO.

In fact, the nice people at Rite Aid actually PAID ME $1.15 to take all of that stuff off of their hands.

It seriously makes me giddy to get a good deal!  Rain checks, price match, manufacturers coupons....these are all words in my vocabulary now :-)  Hey Peter, since I just saved us some money, can we go to Hawaii now??  Peter??  Peter??  Peter, can you hear me??  Oh nevermind.
