And I will further apologize to the fact that this blog is not about the babies :( Sorry mom!....
Tonight I went to CVS and had quite the deal! I was super excited about it. I spent more then normal out of pocket, but was able to walk away with the movie Avatar free for Mike! I personally am not excited about the movie itself, but I knew Mike would be so thrilled because he loves that movie! So, us couponers have to splurge every now and then to express our love to our husbands through couponing! :)
Here is the pic:
The worth of all this (according to my savings receipt is $109.07. All of that cost me $11.65 (plus tax) out of pocket. Now, that is more then I would EVER think of spending at CVS but this is why I did:

This was suppose to be Quilted Northern, but they were out and let me substitute with Cottenelle (Which happens to me my ALL TIME favorite toilet paper!)
