Back on the Wagon

  

I am finally getting back on the blog train after almost a year hiatus. It's easy to fall off the savings wagon because it can be tedious and time consuming to think about saving $.50 here, $3 there. But at the end of the month, it matters. All the dollars and cents matter!
   My new obsession is diaper deals. Those suckers are expensive! If I can find a sale on diapers and use coupons, stand back while I do a happy jig. Check out this awesome trip to Publix where I was able to double stack my coupons on a Pampers sale and saved $77+ JUST ON DIAPERS!

Diapers are one of those things (like razors) that are worth the money you spend on them. You really want the landing pad responsible for holding in nuclear baby poo and 30+ oz/day of milk and other liquids to be a quality item. I currently buy Pampers (only on sale and w/ coups) because I believe they are tested, tried and true. All other brands have let me down at this point. I have a 5 box stash right now, but when I run low again, I do plan to try the Target brand UP & UP - I've heard good things. We shall see.

Speaking of spending more money than you should every damn time you go there, Target has a Cartwheel app for your phone that allows you to "clip" digital coupons and put them in your cart. Then at checkout, they scan a single barcode that calculates all your coupon savings. This is in addition to in-store sales and other manufacturer coupons you might already have! Get on it!
