If the Button Fits

"Did two trips at Bloom today, together total came to $159.70, and I spent $1.11 - no joke, one dollar and eleven cents!

And once I got home I noticed I received a $2.00 catalina (quaker's deal). Oh Baby!! Oh Baby, I'm on a high.

I owe it all to you two."

We LOVE hearing from people who've attended our classes. It's obvious from the email that we received from Lindsey that she has some mad shopping skills! Way to go, Lindsey!!!! WOOT WOOT! I'm so thrilled at her amazing savings today. You just got to love sales that work in conjunction with the coupons you have on hand.

I did some major stockpiling today. I stocked up on Dixie paper plates and bowls as well as Hefty bags (Thanks for the tip, Stephanie!). I also stocked up on a number of things my boys love, but that I don't like to buy, like Chex Mix and Tyson's frozen chicken nuggets.

I ended up spending $34.79 today at Bloom and SAVED $273.76!
