Living better, spending less.
I have been shopping for three days and I am almost glad it’s snowing so I can have a break. I tried hard to talk myself out of my normal Sunday shopping trip yesterday, but I ended up going. It took me four hours, but I hit CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and the weekly grocery shopping [...]
My husband and daughter stayed home and played in the snow while I drove out of town to hit a few drugstores. I really meant to go to Rite Aid and it turns out to be the one drugstore I didn’t go to. Ooops! I had an pretty hot shopping day. I was feeling so [...]
Do you ever feel like you are annoying the crap out of someone when you check out? That is pretty much what my shopping trip today felt like. It’s not that she was extremely rude, she was just completely blank. Ahh well.

Sunday morning shopping is the best. I voluntarily took the kidlet with me this morning to let Daddy have a bit of time to work on his mandolin building.

See, I am back already, with a picture and a post for tonight’s shopping adventure! I had big plans for where I was going tonight, but I finally just went to my Walgreens and called it good. Shoulda gone to CVS to spend expiring ECBs and shoulda gone to Rite Aid because it’s a good [...]
I have gotten a little lazy about taking pictures of my shopping results lately. This may or may not be connected to the number of toys laying around the living room floor at any given time–it’s sadly difficult to find a clear spot in which to set up photos. It is also connected to the [...]
Shopping post time! I actually shopped almost all day on Sunday. After the morning run, I came home to put Evelyn down for her nap (which took almost the entire naptime in itself) and then after she woke up, I took her out to Rite Aid and Walmart in the next town over just so [...]
When I arrived at Walgreens on Sunday morning, my favorite beauty advisor gave me a couple of the Friends and Family discount cards, valid on Monday only. So obviously, I had to go back to take advantage of it.
This was one of the stranger purchases that I have made in a while.
Total OOP: $24.51 [...]
This week has been, and probably will continue to be, very shopping-heavy. Yard sale this weekend. :) I am not even showing the Walmart trips! I am just getting tired of arranging all my purchases on the floor before putting them away. Did I tell you that Evelyn lined up some of her toys the [...]
I love my Sunday morning shopping trips. They’re so nice!
The CVS stuff is at the top and the Walgreens is at the bottom. I went to Walgreens first so I’ll start with that.
While I was at Walgreens, I gave the link to this blog to my favorite cashier. Hi, Cynthia! She gave me a [...]
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
