Procrastinator

I didn't do a whole lot of cleaning today.  I just didn't want to.  Instead, I took my little brothers to the library, made applesauce, vacuumed a little with Will, and played with my boys.
Just a slow, hot Monday.  It was kind of nice.
When my husband got home from work he put screens in some of the windows so we could have a nice breeze through the house.  I swear it lowered the temperature in here by ten plus degrees!
I am thinking about going to Shoppers tomorrow for their double/triple coupons, but I'm not sure if I really want to expend the energy.  It was pretty difficult to shop last time with both my boys...hey I don't think I ever told you about it!  It was a rainy, dreary day, but I was determined to go grocery shopping.  I had my coupons/list all planned out & by golly we were going to do it!  My boys were SO good - they obeyed and didn't whine/fuss at me.  I spent $92 and saved $119 :)  This is what I got:

Some vitals like toilet paper, laundry detergent, & new sippy cups which we were in need of because someone *coughWillcough* has a tendency to throw his cups from his high chair when they are gone.  Sippy cups crack easier than I thought.  Some frivolties like chips (treat for my hubby), cake mixes, & salad dressings that were just too cheap to pass up!
What this picture doesn't show is my two boys falling asleep in the car on the way home, or me crashing after putting kids to bed/perishables away.  I was sooooo tired!
Great savings, but I'm not sure I have enough energy to do it again tomorrow.  I'll let you know...

In other news, I discovered a really cool site today - My Moms View.  She has a giveaway EVERY DAY!  The one I am most interested in right now is the toy wranglers from LuvLoo.

  2. Yeah... that sounds like a lot of my shopping trips. Although I don't usually save that much money. :-p
