Weekend Deals!

Well, i begun the weekend knowing i had things to buy on a budget & wondering just how well i would do. I think all in all i did GREAT! I knew that Jackson needed some spring clothes since he literally has ONE pair of shorts. Of course, Eli has all of Jackson's old clothes, so he needed nothing really. Well, i headed out to Kohl's since i had 2 coupons for $5 off my purchase. I got lucky because they were having an early bird special until 1pm. My goal was to spend less than $50 for an entire spring/summer clothing wardrobe. Since he had a few short sleeve shirts already, i was going to focus mainly on shorts, & maybe a few shirts. This is what i got: 5 pairs of shorts & one shirt for $11 & some change. Each peice was on sale from $10 to $4 & Nanny rang up an 2 articles of clothes for me to use the second coupon & her total was a little over $3 & she refused to let me pay her back.(So i ended up getting $60 worth of clothes for $11- saving $39 for shirts & i think i can get a pair of stride rite tennis shoes at the outlet in that budgeting too!)Of course, i took a picture! And in the picture is 8 pair of socks i got (for Eli) at Old Navy clearanced for .49c a pair, regularly $1.75 each- again Nanny ended up ringing them up while i was doing diaper duty back at the car, & AGAIN refused to let me pay her back. Thanks Nanny! Then today, i made a quick CVS run because i came across a coupon that was going to expire today & couldn't pass up this deal! I got all that is pictured (yes ANOTHER bottle of Excedrin- but i made a buck off of it) for 1.99 out of pocket! Who would pass that up??
And just so you know- i won't be posting a picture of EVERY deal i get (since i get them about every week), but i will post from time to time when the deal is especially sweet! It is exciting & this blog doesn't have to be all about the boys- it can be about how i help save money while raising the boys!
