I have a confession to make. I...am...a...compulsive...bargain...shopper! AGH!! I've decided it's a disease. Especially when I get can items for FREE or but pennies. I can't seem to say no. When I know there is a great deal coming up, I'll even buy an extra paper. We have a paper subscription for the sole purpose of the coupon inserts. Yes, I'm sick - I know. I have no idea why I am blogging about this, other than I know some will find my bargain shopping habits amusing.
Anyhow, I was SSSOOO excited this afternoon. It all started when I pre-ordered the new Tinkerbell movie for Natty for her birthday. I used a $10 off and got a $10 giftcard from Toys R Us. (AND got $10 off for pre-ordering Beauty and the Beast.) I usually NEVER shop there - too pricey - but hey, a deal's a deal. This weekend, when the ads came out, I was almost jumping off the floor. Toys R Us has a special going this week. Spend $40 on any "Disney Princess" purchase and get a free Princess Tea Cart FREE!!! ($24.99) value. I seized the bargain-opportunity, and figured, I'm set to go for Natty's birthday, let's start on Christmas!!! Now, I have to say that presents have new been the focus for Tim and I with the kids, but we don't usually just buy things just because. We always want to save it for a special occasion. Anyhow, I got the movie, the tea cart, but needed a filler to bring it to $40 before coupons. SSOOO, I picked up the most adorable Princess Ariel doll for Natty to go with the tea cart for Christmas. All in all, I got the movie, tea card, and doll for less than $25!!! I had a $10 off coupon and a $10 giftcard (from Tinkerbell purchase). It's sick I'm telling you!!!
Anyhow, all this to say I love bargain shopping! What's your big bargain find lately?

Wow, you really made out! I LOVE bargain shopping too! And it's usually on clothes for Chloe, but last time we were at Old Navy Matthew found a really nice sweater for himself without a price tag on it. I figured it would be full price because the fall stuff is just coming out. But we gave it to the cashier anyway for a price check, and it was 37 cents! Craziness! I get a lot of clothing deals, but that has to top them all!
Nicole, that is incredible!!!!! 37 cents?!?! I love it!!! I usually do pretty, but I also have to admit, buying clothes for the kids is definitely my downfall! lol.
