couponing deals and other stuff from our week

 When Joe was deployed I watched this show called Extreme couponing. I thought it would be SO cool to be able to do that. Sadly here in TX there are not very many grocery stores to choose from, and the ones we do have, have pretty strict couponing rules :( but I started following this coupon blog and i've gotten a few good deals!

8 boxes of valentine cookies for free!

 

 Jack has been moved to a big boy chair!

So happy to get the highchair out of the kitchen!

Jack is a pretty funny boy. When he wants to take a bath he'll come grab my hand and then climb in the tub and sit and wait :)

 This was another good deal (yes all the good deals are on things that make you fat, lol)

 .09cents a bag!

 Ella was pretty excited to find a Brave doll in a bag of junk at the thrift store.

 Lily got a Utah shirt

 Jack loves hotwheels!!

Joe and the girls counted his collection and he has over 70 already!

 Ella got this little toy in her bag of junk and thought it would be perfect for her fish

 Playing at the park

 Here was another good deal. It was a really good deal because the checker gave me 1/2 off the more expensive toy instead of the least expensive toy. (They were buy one get one half off, plus I had a coupon for both, and another coupon for $5 fisher price toys) They retail at over $60 and I paid $10.80 for both

 Mall craft fun!

 Jack didn't think it was so fun :)

 Lily with her Valentine barbie. I got them with a coupon too, lol. With clearance and coupon they were $1.25 each (one for her and one for Ella)

 Joe had to work on Valentines day, but got Friday off so we spent the day together shopping and stopped for lunch at subway and they had my favorite cookies, yum!

 Ellas Valentine bag she made at school

 Some of Ellas school work. I started taking pictures of some of her work before I throw it out. She brings home a stack each week so its much easier to store it on my computer then all over the house!

 If you buy expensive fingernail polish, this was a good deal.(I normally buy the cheap $1 stuff..) They were on sale for $5 at walgreens so with coupon they were $2 each, plus you earned $1 in reward dollars. So really they were $1 each. The girls were pretty excited for 4 new glitter colors!

 Jack and Lilys Valentine boxes

 Lilys school called last min saying school was canceled Wed, so I took the kids to the library valentine party. We also went to the ward playgroup party. It was a LONG day...i'm really glad Lily gets to go to school half day normally, but it was nice for her to get to see some of her friends :)
