Several of my blogging friends have posted lately about their deals and savings at the grocery, so I'm following in their footsteps and am going to brag on my frugal self.
Tonight I went to the grocery (by myself--BLISS!!) with the sole purpose of buying things on sale for which I also had coupons. And there were lots and lots of those things. (Okay, so I also bought milk, eggs, apples, and dry onion soup mix for my roast beef tomorrow....those things weren't on sale.)
The cost of everything I bought without sales and coupons? $140
The cost of everything I bought with sales and coupons? $64!!
I really, really was hoping I could get it down to $50; I didn't quite get there, but I'm still pleased.
Then I came home and realized I forgot contact solution, which just ran out tonight. Ugh....another trip tomorrow, I guess (and yes, I do have a coupon for that, too!).
(Potty Training Update: Almost a completely successful day! She pooped in the potty for the first time today, which was quite exciting for us all, and she used the potty each time she needed it, staying dry all day, including through her nap! Just before bathtime, though, she ruined the perfect potty day and put a small wet puddle on the dining room floor. We almost made it!)

Congrats! If you were doing a certain Mix and Match sale, I've got a trip planned to go there tonight or tomorrow night (I've given up on taking the kids, so I'm doing my shopping at 9:00 at night, which is ok for night owls like me). So I hope I can do as well as you did!
