Holy Coupons, Batman!

I haven't posted in awhile about my coupon savings. I've still been "frugally shopping" I just haven't been telling (a.k.a. bragging) about it... This week was one for the record books so I wanted to post about it :)

Most of this came from Cub Foods, a couple things were from my Walgreens "deal" of the week. I had to make 2 trips to Cub Foods to spare Joel, the kids, and the cashiers from coupon overload.

I spent $55 on all these things in the pictures. (It would have been $210 without all the deals :)








I think its hard to see in the pictures, so I made a list:
~Cub Foods: ($52)

While I was making the second half of my shopping trip today, Joel watched the kids and decided to cut Grant's hair. I got an "emergency call" while I was shopping -- It was Joel asking me to go and buy new clippers. Here's what Grant looked like when I came home...












When I got home with the emergency clippers, Joel was able to finish and now Grant looks like this:

One last picture of Joel and the kids... Reagan is helping Joel backfill the giant (4' deep) hole he dug to fix the entrance of the water-line into our house. (Its been slowly leaking for 3 years.) Grant wanted desperately to be out "helping" Reagan and Dad, but I know better than to turn him loose into a giant pile of dirt first thing in the morning... He was forced to watch all the action from his stool next to the window. :(
