Back to school

So...today I was headed into AE to pick up some pants and on my way I had to go through Belks.  Let me mention that everything on sale was an add'l 50% off at Belks.  That's a big deal!  I had no intention of "back to school" shopping for the kids but after browsing through several super cute outfits for Kendra, I just had to get them.  Sure I could wait until August to shop but I would have ended up paying full price and would have to shop with large crowds : (  Here are a few items I found for Kendra!

This super cute DKNY dress was $ 42.50 and I paid $10.49!  It's so girly!

These cute cotton dresses were $26.00 and I paid $6.49!

This super cute butterfly dress was $60.00 and I paid $7.49.  Kendra has not seen any of the clothing yet but when she does in a few months she is gonna LOVE this one....that's if I can hold out until school starts....I may have to let her have this for church this summer!

Now this outfit is adorable!  DKNY top is super trendy!  Was $26 and I paid $6.49.  The white denim crops were $30 and I paid $7.49.  This is my fav outfit!

This OSHKOSH outfit is a great school outfit!  Top was $ 20 and I paid $4.99, the shorts were $28 and I paid $6.99.

Publix deals w/ coupons

So.....today I finally went through my coupons and tried to save a lil bit of cash during my Publix run.  I have not clipped coupons nor used them in quite a while so I am trying to get back at it.  Mostly I am clipping for household, personal use items and a few "bad for you/not healthy food items" per the kids request!  Today I spent $11.83 on these items!

Tyson app' s $3.25
Glass Cleaner .01
Bob Evans Mac n cheese $1.80
Ketchup $1.00

Finish Line & Belks Deals!

So......I have been holding on to most of my Christmas cash...Let me preface that we save 80% of all checks/cash we get during the Holiday's and we each split the rest between my hubby and I.  So today with all my coupons I headed to the mall with a mission to complete....NEW running shoes!  I did not have any type or brand in mind, just comfort for what I intended to do with the shoes....some jogging.  I tried on 6 pairs and at the end of the day the most comfy pair was a pair of Reebok's AND they were $69 on sale ($20 bucks off).  I had only planned to get the shoes and some comfy inserts ($20) but with my handy coupon I had, I got 2 packs of socks (6 pair total), and a Live Strong bracelet in which I gave to the kids ALL FOR $88 out the door! 

 Of course my cash budget for shoes was $125 so that meant I had $36 and change left over to browse the Belk sale (all sale items extra 40% off plus 20% off coupon).  So I drug the kids through the Juniors Dept and found a great long sweater, black leggings (I could use another pair of those anyhow), and a purple and black dress all for work/church and a cute pair of button style earrings for $36.56 out the door!   Needless to say all my Christmas cash is gone!

Thrift Store finds......

Today I was driving home from the gym and stopped over at my trusty thrift store...I saw that the parking lot was FULL which was unusual.  I went in to take a look around and found several great things! 
P.S.  Wednesday's everything is 25% off!  Score!

Today while browsing I came across True Religion mens jeans and several pairs of Stuart Weitzman shoes (not my size nor style) : (

I got a beautiful old mirror for $18, Great grey leather ankle boots for 2.99 (prac Brand New), cutting board $1, wine glasses .39, baskets were about $.79 each, tupperware for dog food .89, 4 small ceramic brand new min bowls $1.50, wooden stool for kids $7.50!
