Our week

On Saturday, we announced that we were going to the beach for the day. We told the kids "We aren't going to get wet!" And for good reason. It is January. It should be cold. And while it wasn't humid and hot, it was a nice sunny day of 65 degrees. And of course our kids got wet.

Their favorite game was trying not to get wet, and running away from the waves after they got as close to them as they could.
Good thing we were smart enough to bring a change of clothes...
Yeah, this pretty much ended our day at the beach. We were parked several blocks away, and while 65 degrees is nice, it isn't nice enough to be completely sopping wet. We are only 2 hours away from Virginia Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. And it only cost us in gas money. We will be going again soon.

And now a short blurb about my nerdiness.

I love to coupon.

I get really excited over free deodorant.

I love love love saving money.
Kelloggs cereal- 1.50 a box after coupons (all coupons are doubled at Kmart this week) and a five dollar gift card when I buy 8 boxes. Yes, there are 2 boxes of fruit loops. Go ahead. Judge me.

4 Dawn dish soaps- 1.37 each after Krogers digital coupons, and manufacturers coupons from the Sunday paper.

Lady speed Stick deodorant- 59 cents after Krogers deal of .88 per deodorant, and after coupons.

Soft soap- .38 each after Kroger deal of .88 per bottle with my .50 of coupons.

Penne Pasta- clearance rack for 1.00 at Kmart

Pants for Tamsyn- 7 dollars each from clearance rack at Target. (Her jeans all disappeared. She didn't grow out of them. They. Just. Disappeared. Yeah I know, I don't get it either)

Church shoes for Tamsyn- 8 dollars. Also from the clearance rack. And I wish they were in my size.

Grand total? 46 dollars for everything. And half that was for Tamsyn's jeans and shoes.

I think I like being a coupon nerd....
