So Proud

Sorry to everyone reading this, but I officially have the greatest nieces and nephews on the planet! 23 of the smartest, most talented, cutest, and funnest kids I know! Here is just one example...

SO PROUD!

And The Winner Is...

Linna, with a guess of $1! :)

She was right, it always works on Price is Right too!

I did two transactions:

1. $2.73

2. $2.31

= $5.04!!

Savings: $89.71

Plus, I got $16 in Register Rewards ($$ off my next purchase)!

If not for the dang 9.25% sales tax here, it would have been like $0.50! :)

Like I said, I LOVE couponing!

*My biggest Walgreens "trick" is rolling Register Rewards. They are starting to reintroduce EasySaver type coupons that you can stack with manufacturer coupons (YEAH!), but I plan all my transactions around my last trips Register Rewards. Basically using old Register Rewards to buy new items that will produce more Register Rewards to use next time! Does that make sense? If not, call me and I'll explain! :)

Thanks for humoring me everyone! Happy Couponing!

Couponing, I'm Back...

and I missed you! :)

I took a little summer break from my couponing and other than a few small trips, haven't done much. Now that life has settled a small bit (does it ever really settle?) I am back in the swing and remembering why this is SO ADDICTING!! Just had to share!

Here is my trip to Walgreens tonight...

2 Wipes, 6 Children's Medicines (between allergies, fevers, and teething...sadly needed around here!), 2 Mascaras, 1 Foundation, 2 Lip Liners, 6 Toothbrushes, 4 Listerines, and 2 Walgreens Bottles full of samples!

Should we play the guessing game?

How much do you think I paid out of pocket for this trip?

I'll give you a clue...

the before coupon total was $120.08

Bob Barker Rules - Closest without going over is the winner! :)

I know, stupid...but just humor me...please...Adam is sick of playing this game with me!

House Full of Crazies

I will admit that for the past 18 months I have been happily enjoying the fact this little girl has had a much more mellow personality than say...

This crazy nut...

(He took this picture and many more like it by himself on Photo Booth)

But then recently I found these other Photo Booth pictures....

And these from the first day of Preschool

(in the order they were taken)...

Oh boy...It looks like I may have TWO crazies on my hands!

I absolutely adore them both...

and blame the craziness on their dad! :)

Smiles

Cameron: Mom, can I have a young woman's treat?

Mom: Sure, as soon as you are out of your sunday clothes.

Cameron: No Problem!...

You just can't help but smile! :)

Oh, and I just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE baby girls curls (even when they are messy after church/nursery)!

These two put a smile on my face! :)
