Weekly Show and Tell

I had so much fun last night going around and "collecting" up all the things I had coupons for last night! About once a month I make trips to all the stores I know have FREE or close to FREE things to get. It would be awful if every time I found a great deal I ran to go get it, because usually within 24hours another deal at that store is discovered. So, when I find a good deal, as long as it isn't only a weekly deal, I print or clip that coupon and put it in my pocket coupon organizer under the store the deal belongs to. About once a month, I go after my family is put to bed, and "collect" up all the things I had on my ongoing list. My husband tells me it's like waking up to Christmas morning. I have all new treats for his lunch box and awesome snack "surprises" for the kids.

I started my fun night at Target, (they close first and it was late) and had a very successful trip!
I purchased:

2 Kids t-shirts on clearance for $2.24 (for both)
