I'm a stay at home mom to my 3 kids, ages 12 and 10 and 6. We only have 1 income so I have to make it stretch a long ways. I love getting creative with my bargains and finding good deals.

Pedialyte
I got 3 pedialyte for $1.39 each. Used a $1 walgreens coupon on each so brought my total down to $1.25 for 3!
Funny story.... I love putting walgreen managers in their places!!
they had a new coupon book that they put in my bag yesterday and in it was $1 off pedialyte. They had the bubble gum flavor on clearance for $1.39. So I went by this morning and got the rest of what they had which was 3.
The coupon wouldn't scan. So he proceeded to tell me that coupons don't work on clearance price items. I tried to explain to him that it don't matter if its on clearance or not, i'm purchasing this item, i should be able to use the coupon.
he was like it wont work, so i cant take it off.. So I was like okay, do you mind if i go back and get another kind of pedialyte that isnt on clearance? he said okay. so he rang it up, tried to use the coupon, surprise surprise, it didn't work!
so he had to manually enter the coupons.. HA!

Baby Stuff
I heard that Target was having 75% off baby stuff in today's markdown. So I went to 2 different targets to check out the deals.
1st store
Blue/White Crib sheet - $1.74
Long sleeved Girl Color Body suits 3 pk - $2.47 x 2
Long Sleeved Boy Color Body suits 3 pk - $2.47
6 pk of size 5T socks (for Caden or Evan(friend's son)) - $1.48
1 girl purple shoe - $1.74
1 boy cameo shoe - $1.48
1 infant toy - $3.48
1 floor gym - $9.98 (not pictured)
1 highchair - $44.98 http://tiny.cc/Ewm7C
1 playpen - $54.98 http://tiny.cc/HUu0h
The playpen and Highchair were both 50% off. I figured it wasnt a bad deal on it.
My 2nd store only had baby gear at 30% off but they had the rest at 75% off.
I got a crib bumper - pink/white with polka dots - $4.93
1 - body suit short sleeve for a girl - $2.47
3 - bottles - $1.98 each

1 - sleeper 3 pk for girl - $2.47
1 shoe - blue - $2.24

1 pajamas for boy - $1.98
1 pajamas for girl - $1.98
1 - play cook kitchen - $5.74 (will save for 1st birthday/or 2nd christmas)
1 - ring pop - .54 cents (to keep Caden occupied)
total spent $172.71
*** I will probably end up taking some stuff back once I find out what I'm having this Wed. All I can say it better be a girl!! Since that's what I feel like it is. And there wasnt that much boy stuff on clearance, only girl.
