What you don't see from the picture are my 2 crying children. It was a rough day for them at the grocery store. Catherine literally cried from the time we left the house until after we got back. People were throwing shoes out of the grocery cart and just having general meltdowns. There are still a few things I need to go back and get b/c I had to cut the shopping trip a little short with all the crying that was going on. What a day!
My other good deals for the week were at Rite-Aid. I transferred one of Will's presciptions there and got a free $25 gift card. (Last month I did this with his other 2 prescriptions and got $50 gift cards.)
This week I bought 2 packages Huggies diapers (reg price $12.49 each), 1 pack Easter eggs (reg price $1.49, sale for 74 cents), 1 Almay eye shadow (reg price $5.99). I used a $3 off Huggies coupon, $5 off Huggies coupon, $1 off Almay coupon, and $5 off $25 purchase Rite Aid coupon. That brought my bill to $19.61, so I still have $5.39 on the gift card. The other good thing is that I'll get a rebate for $8 from Rite Aid ($3 for each pack of diapers and $2 for Almay) and $1.50 rebate from Caregivers Marketplace for the diapers (75 cents for each pack). So really, that means I'm getting $9.50 back in cash for purchases I made with a free gift card. Woohoo! I love saving money.
