Here is my trip to Wal-Mart last Saturday evening...upon coming home I discovered that my cashier did not scan $7 worth of my coupons. I went back today to see if we could get this resolved, sure that there was nothing that they could about it today, 5 days later. Well, to my surprise, it was actually better that I waited because they do not count out the registers until the following day and based on that info my cashiers register was in fact over by $7 worth of coupons. Easy as that....I got my $7 back!!!! So, here is what I purchased on Saturday and after getting the coupon thing fixed to today I ended up paying a grand total of $24.36 OOP for everything in this picture:

And since I was in Hannibal anyway I decided to swing by Walgreens and try & snag a few more bargains. They were out of 1 of the RR items that I wanted and I have to go to Quincy tomorrow anyway so I will probably try the WAGS there for the item that I am wanting. Anyway, I spent a grand total today of $13.55 (doing 3 seperate transactions) not my best totals but I am happy with that, plus a have a $10 RR to use tomorrow or start next with. Here are my purchases:

I'm baaaccck.......

I have been busy couponing and hope to be able to share many of my routine saving adventures here with you on a regular basis. With that said lets get started....here is my latest shopping trip to WAGS:



Any guess on how much I paid for all of the above? Awww, come on, just take a guess........if you guessed $1.11 OOP then you would be right!!!! Plus I earned $9 in RR for my next visit to Walgreens. I was pretty impressed if I do say so myself!!!!! If I had paid full price (no sales & no coupons) for all of that stuff I would have spent $77.52. Not sure what the % of saving that is but looks pretty good to me!!!! Until next time......

I bet you guys thought I forgot about this place.....

Well, you are right!!! Not sure what happened last summer to cause me to neglect my blog so severely. Well, David Cook *might* have had something to do with it. Yes, I am still obsessed with that man (much to my mom & husbands dismay).

So....what have I been up to? Well, I have been to several David Cook concerts this year (imagine that), I am a substitute teacher at our local school (not too difficult & $70 a day), Lance is in 2nd grade (for another 16 days anyway), Ty is graduating from high school on the 22nd (hopefully), Rylee's first year of pre-school graduation is May 15th and she has a dance recital the 23rd & 24th. Plus, we have 2 birthdays coming up in June...Lance will be 8 & Rylee will be 4. WHERE does the time go?

I haven't gotten much scrapbooking done lately but I am hoping that will change real soon. My scrapbooking room is in the middle of a "makeover" and I will be sooo much more organized when it is completed that hopefully I will be able to crank out lots of pages. A girl can dream right? (LOL)

Well, I know that I no longer have any blog followers but I am going to keep it up this time (I promise) because I really enjoyed finding this place again and reading all my old posts (giggle).

Well, off to help Lance with his math homework & then head out to ball practice.
