Oh My Goodness, An Update! (Mostly Deals)

Yes, yes, I'm updating! Life has been crazy, but I'm alive and (hopefully) ready to start blogging again. The past couple months have been hectic, including getting custody of 4 kids, and because of that, I completely slacked on my couponing. I had piles and piles of printables/inserts, a binder full of expired coupons, and about 40 magazines that needed to be read and picked through for coupons. Well, I finally caught myself up and I'm happy to report that the deals/money saving/stocking up has resumed! Here are some of my favorite deals from the past couple weeks-

Walgreens 11/1

I spent $20.84 OOP, got back $16 in RR, so it was like paying $4.84 total! Great week at Walgreens!

Office Max 11/2

I received a free $5 gift card through text message, so I got all of this for $3.84 OOP. That was a great score, since the Command Hooks retail for $6.99 each.

Smith's 11/9

 

This is the most I've EVER saved at Smith's!! I bought 127 items and paid $51.04 OOP!! I saved $185.85. It was seriously an awesome sale.

Walgreens 11/9

 

I used the $16 RR from my previous Walgreens trip and paid about $6.70 OOP (I lost the receipt).

Walgreens 11/14

I paid $23.24 and saved $81.27! Good day at WAGS.

Rite Aid 11/14

I paid $16.58 OOP and saved $36.42, plus I still have $5 in +UP rewards.


I've also been crafting a little. I made this wreath, and this plethora of flower clips for my step-daughters.

 

And I've been baking! Mmm, pumpkin spice cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting!

 

And finally, we had our family pictures done. They turned out so cute!! Here are some of my favorites -

 

Phew! I hope to post more often (oh, I quit my job, so that's new, too!!). :)
