Bargain Nazi

Really sometimes I even amaze myself.  I dont think much puts me in a better mood than good deals, I sometimes sing in the car on the way home from the store...
My first Walgreens stop of the day after dropping Jake off at school. I got 68.00 worth of stuff for 34.00, plus I got 13.00 back in register rewards. My second Walgreens stop before picking up the other 2 at 3:15, (Kaukauna one this time ha), I got another 27.00 worth of stuff, used 10.00 of my rewards and paid a grand total of 3.00 cash. If you're keep track this is 37.00 in cash total...for 95.00 worth of merchandise! 
I prolly sound like this crazy woman running around to all these different stores, but both the Walgreens right next to the kids' schools and I was in each one less than 15 min. I always go in any store knowing exactly what I want, and I rarely diversify from the coupon pile....unless by some rare chance Adam is with me, and he totally zeroes out all my coupon savings by throwing random stuff in the cart.

Today the stuff I got included 2 giant 56 oz hand soap refills (originally 8.00 each, paid 3.00 a piece . I don't need two so I will split the cost with my S-I-L. (splitting bargains is the best deal ever if you can find someone who uses the same stuff as you! Once we split 10 boxes of pasta. It costed us each 1.75 for 5 boxes of pasta and I got a free chicken.)

A ton of laundry stuff- Tide soap, stain boosters, dryer bar, and in-wash stain booster. This stuff alone averages 7.00 an item at Target- I looked, glad I saved those buy one get one free coupons from the paper! Our clothes are not gonna know what hit them, I never buy the name brand stuff unless its on sale

2 pkgs of swiffer wet floor things (and I was planning on stocking up on those anyway so the kids can help keep the floor clean after I have the baby- at least a mom can dream that anyway ha.)

2 bottles of body wash  4.00 each on average
4 bags of Hersheys easter chocolate
2 containers of Oxyclean 5.99  were buy one get one free
THEN I came home and start checking out the amazon deals of the day. I am sooooo addicted to amazon mom/ suscribe and save. You just check subscribe and save, and they take 15% off, plus being in amazon mom gives you free shipping, and when you get your stuff you go back in and "cancel" the subscription.  Well today I got 264 diapers for a measly 7 BUCKS by using coupon codes I got out of parenting and babytalk magazines. last week I got 4 pkgs of Capri suns for about 5.00, and 3 big 40 oz jars of peter pan peanut butter for 10.00.
Amazing! This is even better than ebay haha! Wish all this internet shopping would have been more of a big thing when the other kids were little I would have saved about 5 million dollars in diapers, having had 2 kids in diapers at once for almost 3 years. 
So now my count is at 492 diapers up to size 2 and 17 tubs of wipes and I have spent a grand total of ....43.00.  I'm pretty sure that is about the equivalent cost of one box of Pampers at Toys r US! Hopefully with that and the tiny newborn ones they give you at the hospital (my kids were giants, they grew out of newborn diapers in about a week) we should be good for the first couple months.
Now I'm just waiting for this stupid snow to melt so people can start having rummage sales, or Mabel is going to spend the first few weeks of her life wearing only a diaper....
