St. Patrick's Day was fun. We went out with our friends Nick and Courtney to a few places.

Reed looking cute on St. Patrick's day.


This weeks shopping spree at CVS/Walgreen's .
Originally $79.38. After coupons/ecb's/rr I got all of
this for $3.56. And yes Stef those wipes are for you.
You owe me 99 cents haha.

Nothing else new around here. Doing some spring cleaning, weeding the gardens, getting the outside furniture ready and looking forward to opening the pool......okay maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Looking forward to my tulips blooming...there...that's realistic.
Hope everyone is enjoying the warmup and coming out of winter hibernation!

Saving Dollars and Spending Dimes!!!!

I have always been a coupon clipper but I have been inspired by www.moneysavingmom.com to see what I can get for barely any money. This is what I got from CVS/Kroger/Walgreens:



$ 6.07 after coupons/cvs extra care bucks/kroger register rewards.





This was last weeks purchase from kroger for $1.06. This one was a "practice run"

I actually find it fun to match up my coupons to sale ads and see what i can get with extra care bucks/register rewards. Compared to how I usually spend money this is amazing for me!!!!
