Shopping Trips: Week of 5/6-5/12/2012

So I have become very familiar with the stores around my new home and am VERY pleased with what I see!! Here are my goodies from various stores I hit:

 

I hit Target, CVS, Walgreens and Kohl's to get all this stuff. 

Retail cost of $309.55 but only paid $53.06!!!! 

That is a savings of 80%!!!! 

Most of this stuff I did find in the clearance section and with coupons made for some GREAT deals. I am getting my brother and sister-in-law ready for their baby so will be hitting the baby sections a lot in the next coming months!!!

Back in Action!

So I have been out of the whole coupon loop for about two months due to our big move. Good thing I had ample stock in both my pantry and fridge! It has taken some planning and research to familiarize myself with my new area but I think I have everything down and I am ready to get started. On top of my usual shopping I now have to shop for my future neice/nephew that is coming the end of the year. So stay tuned for some serious savings and deals and follow me to see how well I do :-)
