My Shopping Trip Today

I spent about 2.5 hours yesterday planning all of this and then I spent 2 hours going to 4 stores.  I don’t feel like I wasted gas because three of the store were close to each other and Sundays tend to be boring anyway so what’s 2.5 hours?  Anyway, I’m really proud of what I did today and how much money I saved my family.  I spent $43.00 for everything on my kitchen table. (Please note I am subtracting rebates to get that total but I’ll take it!) Which to me sounds like a lot of money so let me break everything down…

       

* 1 Mega pkg. of Luvs diapers

* 2 gallons of milk

* 6 cans of vegetables

* 2 Steam fresh Meals

* 8 boxes of Wheat Thins

* 2 boxes of Ritz crackers

*5 bananas

* 2  5 oz beef steaks

* 5 containers of baby wipes

* 1 box Benevia Health Drinks (I wouldn’t normally get something like this but I needed it to MAKE $1.79 at RiteAid : )

*6 blanket sleeper pajamas for Tyson

The blanket sleepers is what made my total so high.  However I got each 2 pkg for $11.18 so it was a great deal on them and he really, really, really needed them.  We’ve been talking about getting him new ones for about a month and a half now. 

I want to show you how much my total increased because of the PJ’s.  My total with out the much needed PJ’s is around $9.50!!! (I don’t now how to subtract tax but that’s a really good guess)

I really can’t believe it.  Isn’t a Mega pkg. of Luvs diapers around $15 to $16 dollars at Wal-Mart or something?!  Yeah, I’m pretty happy with myself.  Pride is not a good thing but I think I’m gonna be prideful about this one for a little while ; )

Tyson saw me taking pictures and wanted to be in some.  Please ignore his nasty crusty face.  I keep him quiet at the store with snacks…
