Coupon Shopping Spree

The past few weeks and months I’ve been racking up member points, coupons, gift cards, etc. to our favorite stores until all the sudden I had a huge stack of really great discounts.  Plus, the girls have been working hard on their chore chart and had saved all week for a trip to Justice.  Since starting work I’ve been so exhausted in the evening and even into the weekend and have not felt like shopping.  Well.  I’ve gotten some great rest the last two nights and Scott is working today so if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you may well know I made it a girls day out!

Last night Lexi insisted we make an itinerary so we wouldn’t forget anything and put it in my wallet.  After each place today we checked it off.  It was so much fun.  Especially since we walked out of some stores paying absolutely nothing.  I felt a little like a robber hitting up stores but I knew that some of these things had been well-earned from our loyalty (and money!) to the stores before.  And just because I was curious, I decided to see just how much we saved today and thought I would share.
