BUT... i didn't check my receipt before leaving, getting home to realize that she didn't give me the concealer for free, instead, the foundation. So, instead of getting $7.99 for free, i got $4.99 for free. Then, on one of my Quattro razor coupons, it showed up as $2, instead of $4. I am almost positive i had 2 $4 coupons, but i have no way of knowing now... so, this is what my total ended up being:

=$14.47 TOTAL
=$1.75 TAX
=$16.22 OOP

Received $4 and $2 ECB to use next week!!!

Lesson: Check receipt before leaving! I knew that sounded high, but I dind't have the games nor the Healthy Choice meals on my list, so I dind't question it. Live & Learn!

My $6 Meijers trip! ALL BY MYSELF!!

So, dropped the Diva off at pre-school today for her first day of school. After hanging on her daddy's leg and her protest of staying becuase she was scared, she finally got busy with toys and 2 little girls and we snuck out. We will see what she thought of that, and of school, at noon when i pick her up. She looked SO grown up!

After the drama of "the first day of school," i headed off to Meijers... ALL BY MYSELF!! I can't wait to share the DEALS i got!!! But, did i mention... i got to do this shopping trip, ALL BY MYSELF!!??!!!

So, i got 6 boxes of Apple Jacks, 10 bags of frozen vegetables, 2 cans of soup and 4 boxes of pasta for $6.26. Here's how!!
