He loves coupons too!


Baby Jay loves coupons too- he had a blast playing with all the ones I didn't want!
I had a trip all planned out with coupons and match ups, but it would require me to go to 3 different stores. When I found out I was taking Jay with me it turned in to a one-stop Walmart shopping trip. I did a bit of price matching and used some coupons (which did not get doubled because it is Walmart) and saved a bit of money...but at least I didn't have to transfer in and out of car seats 6 times:)
I cut out a bunch of coupons this week and hope to score some deals this weekend.

Not gone, but on permanant leave from couponing...

..because of this little bundle of joy that is in our lives. He has been very crabby and I haven't even been tempted to go "couponing" because of my lack of sleep:)

Keep getting all the deals! I hope to re-join the party sometime in the next couple months:)
