Maybe this isn’t all that exciting to you…but I don’t get out much…so I was pretty thrilled with a little shopping trip I had the other day.
The boys and I went to a little department store in town (Pamida…ever heard of it?) where they were doubling coupons up to a $1 and offering half off all of their clearance! I used to be a coupon queen…but not so much anymore since I’ve changed the way we eat. However, with double coupons up to a whole dollar…I thought surely I could at least get a good deal on kleenex!!
An hour and a half and one cart full later…here’s what we got for a whopping $32:
- Four shirts for me
- A pair of camo pants for Asa
- A zip up sweatshirt for Asa
- A pair of shoes for Malachi
- Two baby gifts for my “shower stash”
- Two packs of gum (oh, what a treat)
- Three packages of kotex (giggle)
- A box of mouse glue traps (not that we have mice or anything)
- Two boxes of ziplock bags
- And that box of kleenex I was hoping for
For $32!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so much fun to come away with so many things we needed for such a low cost.
I’m so grateful that we had such a fun time shopping and that we found so many great deals. AND, I’m really grateful for the four male shoppers who hung with me for such a long time while we found those deals. Boy were they troopers! (And boy, did they ever eat a lot of lunch as soon as we got home!)

I love my babies, but oh… I can’t wait till they can hang with me and shop like that! Awesome deals, and yes, that is certainly something to be grateful for!
Wow, awesome deals Laura! That is definitely something to be grateful for. And it sounds like a fun day with your boys.
Woo-hoo! Good job Laura. I love it when that happens. It’s been quite awhile since I did that well though!
Wow, what great deals!! I don’t know what Pamida is, but I want to go there!
Does this mean you’re going to post pictures of mousetraps in use? (Ew) :) hehe
Great finds! :)

Great deals!
I’ve never heard of that store out here but it sounds like I just might need one!
Okay, you got some great deals! I had to read it twice because I was sure you could only get deals like that at a thrift store!
Thanks for the congratulations…. now how did you know???? Did one of my kids email you for help because Dad only knows how to make Pasta Roni? lol!

Deals! Deals! I love getting great deals! With the economy the way it’s been , I’ve been really stretching everything. This week, I went tot he local Goodwill and managed to get 6, yes 6 dresses (4 of which still had original tags on them), for $30. The best treasure of all though, the dress that was “on sale” that day (anything with a yellow tag was $2, was an Evan Picone cocktail dress that still has it’s original tag. Go God!
Great deal!!! I love walking away with deals like that!! Nicely done!! :)
I love a great deal!
I love a great deal. I make it a point to get to know the produce manager, meat manager and dairy manager at the market, They usually let me know when they will have great deals on things. Way to go!!
Great deals! I haven’t found any of those lately. Good job!
Oh yeah, I’ve heard of Pamida! I’m visiting my parents for a few days and there’s one here. Did you know that Pamida stands for the founder’s sons, Patrick, Michael, and David? There’s your trivia for the day. :>)
I love a great deal, so I can understand your enthusiasm!
Blessings,
