A day of good deals

Monday April 5th I didn't have school, but I still sent Trevor to daycare and Scott had to work.  I took advantage of this and enjoyed myself.  I started by organizing my coupons to take advantage of K-mart's double couponing going on this week.  You can only do 5 coupons a day, so I split up the different transactions and plan on going back each day this week.  Today I bought 1 Gillette Body Wash, 1 Visine, 1 Tampax, and 2 Nivea body washes.  The grand total was just over $25.  Then the coupons started.  I only spent $5.37.  Which means $20 in coupons.  I can't wait to go back tomorrow.  They have some other deals such as rebates and stuff, that I am going to try to incorporate getting those as well.  We'll see. 

I headed home and weeded my garden.  I didn't know it needed it so bad, but it looks better.  A relaxing bath sure helped those sore muscles!  I couldn't believe how hungry I was after that so I headed to Durango's for one of their tasty salads.  I pulled our my frequent diner card only to realize that I was due for a FREE meal.  Scott was able to take his lunch at this time so I got some extra time with him. 

I cuddled up with the last of the Fablehaven series and realized it was finally time to get Trevor.  I hopped in the car and headed over the sitter's.  As I was loading Trevor into the car I noticed Scott had called and sad he found a wood bassinet for $50.  I wanted to look at it.  It was probably just a cheap-o Wal-mart one, but we wanted one.  I drove over to check it out and it's beautiful.  It's a rocking bassinet that's hand-crafted from solid wood!  The best part is that it came with the mattress too! 

I gave them $60 for the bassinet because they even delivered it to our house.  They were so nice and it turned out I was buying from one of my good student's older brother.  They really didn't want to part with it and this bassinet is worth more than even $60.  We got a really good bargain. 

That's all of the good bargains for today.  I can't wait to find more!
