Nanny to Mommy

I think I did pretty good even if I do say so myself! :) I wanted to get the Brach's candy but they were CLEANED out and it was only the second day of the sale! Also on the way home, there was a crazy car accident and this guy tried to run and people chased him down and beat him up then a person had to be pulled out of the car and put on a stretcher. We had to stop short to avoid missing it, that's how close we were. Crazy stuff and I hope everyone was okay.

Anyways, my dear friend took me to Publix and we took that babies. It was...interesting...

So here's what I got:

4 Chips Ahoy Cookies BOGO $2.99 - 4 $1/1 Stocking Spree Home Mailer - 2 $1/2 IP = FREE

So how did you do?

So another week down. I still have my FREEbie Friday list to get up for you all and I have some awesome giveaways coming up that I am SUPER excited about. And if you have been following my posts on Facebook then you already know who they are from! Anyways, today's Kroger trip was awesome. The kiddos feel asleep in the car on the way there so Hubby stayed in the car with them and I get everything I wanted, still talked to the cashier and a friendly shopper, and finished in record time. Funny how different a shopping trip can be when you don't have any little ones with you.


Anyways, on to the Savings! I didn't get a picture of this trip because once again the little ones devoured my attention but that's okay because they are more important...no offense. Today I shopped the Mega Event and the 3 day sale. I'm pretty excited when they have their 3 day sale. I stock up on bread until the next one! So here's how I did:
