This morning, Merri and I spent about four hours bargain hunting at two association garage sales. I spent a little less than $60 and came home with the following:
- About 20 pairs of shorts for Teo
- 3 pairs of pants for Isa
- 3 swim trunks for Teo
- A bathing suit for Isa
- 2 pajamas for Teo and 2 pajamas for Isa
- About 10 pairs of pants for Teo
- About 15 pairs of pants for Isa
- 4 pairs of tights for Isa
- 2 pairs of sunglasses for Isa
- A pair of shoes for Teo
- A pack of training pants for Teo
- About 5 travel mugs/water bottles
- 2 hot dog cooking stick things for the bonfire
- 2 swimming pool inflatable toys
- Scrapbook and sewing materials
- Coloring and craft supplies
- Approximately 10 board books for Teo
- About 25-30 books for Isa
- Four VHS tapes
- A box full of Matchbox cars (I would guess about 50 cars)
- And much, much more!
Then, tonight after all our other festivities, we went to Meijer and Target to practice our couponing skills. At Target, I spent five dollars and some odd cents. At Meijer, six something. Here's the deals I got:
- Shout stain remover. $1.97/bottle. Two bottles. Two coupons each: $1 off and $.55 off (one store coupon and a manufacturers coupon) = $.42/each.
- Fruit Chillers. On clearance for $1.81 each. Coupon for $1 off each. = $.81/each
- A bottle of Raspberry Lemonade that Jose just HAD to have = $2
- Eggs = $1.63
- CoffeeMate Creamer. On sale for $.99 each. Three bottles. One coupon each for two for $.50 off that was doubled and a coupon for $.75 off another = FREE for two and $.24 for one bottle
- Hamburger Buns. On sale for $.99 each. Two packages. One coupon each for $.55 off. = $.44/each
- Kraft Dressing. On sale for $1.59 each (although the shelf price says $1.99). Four bottles. Two coupons each: $1 off and $.55 off. = $.04/each
- Container of Silicone Caulk = $2.99
P.S. - Today was a wonderful day because Jose's court case for his license suspension was DISMISSED! Yay!

Aw, man! And it would've only been ten if Jose woulda showed some freakin' willpower...Geez, Jose. Didn't you know, you don't mess with a girl and her coupons??!?!?
did you use 4 Meijer q's and four Kraft Salad dressing q's? And did you get the $3 ONYO for buying 4 of them then??
Andrea, yea. Less than because the eggs and caulk were his purchases also. :/ And yes Anonymous (Merri), but only $2 because one was a specialty bottle. :)
