Being "Choosey"

In efforts of being frugal with the state of our economy, I've discovered that it pays to shop around.  This does take extra time and extra energy.  It even gets more complicated and tiresome with a toddler in tow, and a baby on the way.  BUT, the savings are worth it.  Below are lists of stores I frequent and hot items that I can get good deals on.

Target Deal




Alright Moms! (Or Dads!) You guys better head on over to Target for their Quaker Oats products deal. I got 5 Quaker Oats products for $3.88!

Buy 5 Quaker Oats products and get a $5 Target Giftcard!
There are various products on sale:
  • Chewy Bars
  • Instant Cereal
  • Quaker Squares

What I got:

  • 3 Boxes of Chewy Bars ($2 each) - used $1 off 2 coupon
  • 1 Box of Instant Cereal (sale 2/$5) - Used 0.70 coupon
  • 1 Box of Quaker squares cereal (sale 2/$5) - Used 0.40 coupon
  • Board book for Natty ($1)
My total was $9.88, and minus the Target gift card. So, my final total was $4.88. Without Natty's book, it would be $3.88 for the Quaker products! HOT deal!!!!

Welcome!

Hi everybody!  Thanks everyone who's been keeping up with our family on "Becoming Mommy."  I've finally decided to start another blog on all my shopping adventures.  I have several people who keep asking me where and how I get deals.  The purpose of this blog will be to post different deals I come across at different stores.

I trutly believe that being wise with our finances is just one of many awesome ways to glorify our Lord.  With that in mind, I am praying my adventures with shopping on a tight budge will help benefit and bless some of you guys out there as well!

Check back often, because you never know what kinds of deals I'll stumble across!
