Shopping Trip Saturday 1/16

 

My kids are spending the weekend at grandma’s house so my husband and I took advantage of the weekend to do some shopping and spend very little money :)  Our trip consisted of:

-returning a teddy bear to the hospital (my mom was given a bear when she had a surgery from the staff and we thought it could be given to a child again)

-Inman Jewelers - my husband got a beautiful new watch ($100 value) for free since we had won WCUB’s Holiday Decorations Contest. 

-St. Vincent De Paul – we donated a bunch of my mom’s clothes & ended up finding a new dresser for Dominic’s room for only $15!!!  It’s low enough that he’ll be able to reach everything on his own & we splurged on 2 new movies for him (Pocahontas & Peter Pan)

-Talk to the Paw – bought $20 worth of homemade dog treats for our mutts.. the cookies are the CUTEST things ever!  Check some of them out:

I highly recommend this store.  Besides this we got a pound of other treats (pizza wheels, fresh breath treats, bagels that can be microwaved, pretzels and other stuff) plus a huge bag of dried beef treats.  Great prices especially if you have that spoiled pooch!  Luckily we had a gift certificate so that made this stop – FREE!

-BP Gas Station – we filled up on gas (from being on “E”) at regular price $2.79/gal. but we got it for $1.92/gal. thanks to our Copps Fuelperks Rewards Card :)  Yay!!!

-Hobby Lobby – returned a posterboard unused for a refund

-WalMart – 2 boxes of animal crackers with a coupon for a total amount of $0.  The cashier just smiled… lol

-Office Max – wireless laser mouse for the laptop ($30), 3 boxes of envelopes & a hole puncher for $45 but it was all FREE since we had MaxPerks… we even have a few dollars left & we’ll be getting $12 more thanks to the envelopes we bought basically for FREE

-Luigi’s – lol… we needed lunch!  Even though this was a lunch stop, we had a coupon!!!  We saved $4 on our total bill from previously purchasing a $10 gift certificate for $6 on WCUB’s Shopping Show.

-Festival Foods – we had to pick up pizzas for Nick (Orv’s 5/$10), I also got a few of the things they had coupons from flyers and I took advantage of their 6/$10 on the Smart Ones deal… I had a coupon where you buy 3 and get a free Flatbread (value $3.19)… I also used a few other coupons to save us $7 on our complete order of $30.

So yes, that was it :)  Now to reorganize my son’s room tonight to surprise him when he returns on Monday from grandma’s.
