Having a break from school and work usually means that you rest the whole day. But for a teacher a break doesn't always mean rest. We did get to sleep in until 9 this morning; which is a nice change for a Monday morning. Then it was all about work. Katrina and I first started are day at CVS together and then she moved on to Lakeshore (a teachers store) as I continued my couponing at another CVS store. After a great morning at CVS I picked up ken, a friend, from the ward and we started working on a project that we have been waiting to start for sometime. Meanwhile Katrina is watching someone laminate a box full of paper as she holds only 4 sheets that she needs to laminate for tomorrow. She arrived at Lakeshores around 10:45 am.
As Ken and I were coming back from Lowes around 1:30ish Katrina called and said that she finally got to laminate her 4 sheets and that she was on her way. We finished our project and went to the store to get a few things for a BBQ. On our way home it started to rain. Nonetheless we still grilled some hotdogs and enjoyed our time and families.
Now its almost 7:00 pm and Katrina is still working on school stuff. Trying to stay away from my homework I decided to blog about our fun labor day. Most of all to show what we got at CVS this morning. We were able to buy $79.16 worth of stuff and only paid out of pocket $1.20. Plus we got back $20.00 for next week. :) As you can see from the picture we got 1 big box of 96 diapers, 1 big can of formula, 2 bottles of baby bubble bath, and 2 things of desitin for baby rash. What you can't see is we also got 8 bottles of sobewater. I didn't include them because we drink some of them.
Now for my favorite part: Katrina purchased the formula, 2 bottles of bubbles, and 4 bottles of sobewater. The total was $39.33 and only paid $0.10 and got back $10.00. I purchased the Diapers, the desitin, and 4 sobewaters. The total was $39.83 and I only paid $1.10 and got back $10.00. I love this game.:)

Truly a laborious day! I was sure the woman in front if her would let her take her few pages and let her go on her way! NOT
What did she do all that time?
Way to go at the store...
I really need to learn how to do this! Between formula and diapers we spend SO much money! Where did you learn couponing?
Mike told me yesterday they are building a CVS near us so I will have to have you fill me in on your diaper secrets!
We were told that formula and diapers are the worst things for your budget; so we had a friend from the ward here in houston tell us a few secrets about couponing and gave us a couple of blogs to follow. This ladies are crazy when it comes to couponing. I go to southernsavers.com, thekrazycouponlady.com, and mylitterofsix.blogspot.com. This ladies give me the ideas and I change them a little to work better on our budget.
YOU ROCK AT THIS GAME.
Couponing is incredibly awesome! I am so impressed. Hope you all are doing great...all three of you! :)
LABOR DAY is FAST approaching...
