$43!Don't have my receipts in hand at the moment, so I can't give you an exact amount (which I know is terribly disappointing to you!), but it's right around $43. That does include a $10 gift card thingy from CVS, also, so I will be scoring some free stuff there when the prices & items looks appealing. Woohoo! There are a few items up there that we just needed so no awesome deals (bummer), but I was still pleased with the final total.
Highlights!
spiral bound notebooks -- $0.10 (Sophie goes through about 1.5 of these a day lately!)
Aquafresh kids toothpaste -- $0.17!
Snyders pretzels -- $0.24
Bagel bites -- $0.24 (I know these are totally junky and I promised myself that I wouldn't buy the nasty junky grossness that often goes on sale/has coupons... but did I mention they were 24 cents?? And I figure there will be some day when Bryce and I are going out and I need a quick fix for the kids and... these will be just the ticket! So there's my justification for you!)
Softsoap - $0.47
Juicy Juice box drinks -- $0.49
Activa yogurt -- $0.87
And here's my crown jewel!! The Pampers diapers were on sale for $22/box. I had $6 in coupons so ended up paying $16 out of pocket. But THEN received a $10 in-store rewards thingy (previously mentioned), so that brought the total down to $6!!! I would just like to say that I whipped out my little calculator and did a major happy dance when I figured that means each diaper costs SEVEN CENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! And here I was ready to go to Sam's Club and plunk down cashola for diapers to the tune of $0.19/diaper!! Which is not a terrible price, either, I will say. But it is a far far FAR cry from $0.07!
Also bought Baby Girl her first gift = a pack of newborn Swaddlers. These weren't a screaming deal, but at $7 for the package it works out to $0.175/diaper. Swaddlers have treated us well in the past - hoping they're as good this time round, too. Oh, and the wipes happened to be on sale at the famous HEB and I had a coupon to match... so I bought them. Slightly cheaper than Sam's wipes at that price, so I decided to make it fit into the budget this week. The 3 baby items cost me $29.50, so everything else cost $13.50 together.
Ok, well there you are. Exciting stuff, no?!? And now, off to bed with me. We've been dealing with a flu bug over here and - as long as I don't get it... - I'm hoping we'll be in the clear tomorrow! Wish us luck!
