Lazy Saturday

So not much new has been happening lately, same old same old.
I've been really tired last night and today, so I did a lot of napping.

We did good on making dinner all week, except today we were planning to have chicken parmesan with our leftover sauce from yesterday, but by the time mom, logan and i went out shopping, it was kinda late, so we cheated and just went to McDonalds. Chicken parm can be for tomm.
We went to Target and got some wipes. I'm kinda becoming a freak about stocking up on stuff like wipes. Diapers you can stock up on, but only so much, cause I'm always worried I'll buy too many of a certain size, and he'll outgrow them. Of course you can return/exchange them, but that's such a pain in the butt. But wipes you know you'll need for a while!! Especially since the new baby isn't even here yet, I know I'll be using them for AT LEAST the next 2 years! Anddddd we had manufacturer coupons, AND Target store coupons. And you can use one manufacturer coupon AND one store coupon on each item!! So I bought 4 big packs of wipes, like 500 count, and used 4 manufacturer coupons, 1 store coupon, and they were doing a sale where if you buy 2 big packs of wipes, you get a $5 Target giftcard! So we got 2 of those since we bought 4 packs!
I was excited. Yup, that's what happens when you get old and have kids haha. But for real, I saved like over $12 the cashier said, plus got $10 in giftcards. That's awesome.
I don't care if you think I'm a dork, i LOVE saving money.
I also always shop the clearance racks at Kmart and Walmart for kids clothes. I have clothes for Logan up to a size 4t I think. I don't care if he won't wear it for a while, when I get shit for 50 cents, or a dollar each, and it's cute, I'll take it!! I just put it away in the back of his closet.
And my mom and I do clip coupons. If you take 5 minutes, uninterrupted, that's all it takes!! We saved like $50 at Walmart 2 weeks ago. I think before the coupons it was $163? I think? And after it was something like $116. I forget exactly how much, but it was something like that.
And plus at Giant Eagle you get fuelperks when you shop at the store, and you get FOODPERKS, now when you pump gas at GetGo.
Mom and I did a huge shopping trip a couple months ago, and you save a certain percent with the new Foodperks thing, and we saved $40 by using our FoodPerks, it's awesome. I love saving money.

Anyway, Logan just started running around tearing apart the family room, so I better go stop him!!
