CVS Trip July 5th

It has been awhile since I updated my blog. I have felt super lazy and bored with it. I am hoping to get back on track and maybe even add some extra features. I will see how I feel over the next couple of weeks. Anyway, I went to CVS this morning to pick up some cereal that is on sale and they were out. Instead of the cereal, I came home with a bunch of 90% clearance items.

Fry's Trip July 3rd

My spending this past month has been horrible. Probably part of the reason I haven’t been posting. I have felt pretty lazy and not that inspired to go after the good deals. This isn’t the best shopping trip but I will post it anyway. Maybe it will force me to work a little harder at staying within my budget.

Kohl's Trip July 2nd

I found a $10 off $20 purchase coupon on the front of my newspaper so decided to go check out the store. I haven’t been there much but heard they had good clearance deals. Boy am I glad I went.

Transaction Women’s shirt (Reg. $16.00, Sale $6.99) Boy’s Nike Shorts (Reg. $30.00, Clearance $3.00) 2 Toddler Shorts (Reg. $12.00, Clearance $3.60) 2 Toddler Shirts (Reg. $12.00, Clearance $2.40) The total with tax came to $22.99.
