First, we went to Steak n' Shake for dinner to get out of the house. (We should have just stayed home but that is another story!) I had coupons and had two of the kids split a meal and we drank water so we were able to eat pretty cheap. What I didn't know though was that at Steak n' Shake on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, kids eat FREE!!! We actually could have eaten even cheaper if I had known. Oh well.....next time.
Then I went to Target to get some ice cream (I wasn't going to spend $10+ on shakes when I could get almost a gallon of ice cream for less than $6!) and while there picked up a couple of this weeks deals. My coupons are a mess right now and I haven't clipped in over a week but here is what I ended up with.
30 bottles of Sobe Water, 5 Weight Watchers meals, 2 Lean Pockets, 2 Market Pantry Ice Creams, 2 Oreos, animal crackers, and pantyliners. My first transaction was $42.47 and I received 4 $5 Target gift cards. My second transaction came to $17.78. I used the gift cards to pay. I still have $2.22 on a gift card. Woohoo!!! Go me! I bought 43 items for less than $43!!
On another quick escapade today I headed over to Dollar General and used the 50% your entire purchase of home goods. I bought 2 boxes of peel and stick tile for the kids bathroom and two bath rugs for our bathroom. The total was $17.34. Now I do have to go back tomorrow to get two more boxes (Jared told me two wasn't enough) but I printed another coupon so it will just be $10 more.
