My Inability To Pass Up a Good Deal

I recently discovered Frugal Coupon Mom by watching Dr. Phil a week and a half ago.  She posts about her frugal findings at local grocery/pharmacy stores and about how to organize your couponing.  So, I've started collecting coupons and watching the weekly ads to compound my savings.  I used her tips for Walgreens this week and here's my transaction from today.

Note: I could have gotten a better deal on the Gauze Pads, but we needed them now, not later when they may or may not be on sale.

I also walked out with $10 Walgreens Bucks toward any future purchase.

Maybe I'll go buy another package of diapers tomorrow for FREE (tax only)!

And yes, I did buy diapers for the baby even though he or she still has 5 months left in the womb...
