Maybe TOO much conditioner

After a trip to Rite Aide, I got these bags for a great price. They are normally are $4.19 each, but they were on sale 2 for $5.00.  Then I had two coupons, they were a dollar off two Ziploc bags. But Rite Aide coupon policy allows you to use both coupons and that is what I did. So I got them for $1.50 each plus tax. HOW GREAT IS THAT????

After a trip to WALGREENS I got

three conditioners and one shampoo for $15 and had a $3 coupon (regular price $4.49 each)
two Aussie gels for $6 and had a $3 a coupon (regular price $4.79 each)
two Arizona iced teas for $5 and had a $1.00 coupon (regular price $2.99 each)
Wonder white bread $2.99 had an amazing $1.00 coupon on bread
Could have paid: $36.51
ACTUALLY PAID:  $21.94

THEN... I used a $5 and a $1 Register Reward to get
Desitin and eggs for only .48 cents
Could have paid: $4.79
ACTUALLY PAID:  $0.48
Isn't that flipping cool?

Total Savings:  $25.76
Did I do good? What do you think?
I don't go crazy like those ladies on TLC, but I won't have to buy conditioner,
shampoo or gel for a long time.

A Kitchen One Size Too Small

I wanted to share some more pics of my small apartment how I set it up and organize the small space.
 

 This is our tiny kitchen, it looks bigger in the picture for some reason.
If we need to get in the fridge, the main door has to close. If I am standing at the stove or sink,
the other person has limited room in the kitchen.

 

We have a lovely shelf over the sink, with a window that opens. I keep our kitchen towels and cleaning rags and some garlic in a bag. Oh and after I bought some overly expensive kitchen rags from Kohl's (at least I think they are expensive) 

Then I saw this post about reusable paper towels

from Our Homemade Happiness

 I cut up two of my old shirts and am going to see what hubby can donate to our kitchen. 

We used to keep snacks on the shelf, but the great sunlight was drying them out. We can't even

keep snacks on the fridge, because the appliance is very old and generates too much heat 

and snacks were melting. 

So now we keep snacks next to our stove, not the best place since the grease gets all over them, but I have no other spot for them. I usually just move them over when the burner is on. Can you spot the two Ragu jars I am using for snack containers. Why buy more containers, when I can reuse? 

Saw this post on how to organize your home on a low budget

 

Also got this idea from organizing made fun Using storage for all of Dinosaur's art and sticker supplies was a space and life saver. We keep it on the back of his bedroom door. I also use the idea in our closet. Both hubby and I share a closet, on the back of each door, we have a shoe orgaznier. In it we keep our undergarments and socks. It saves so much space and makes it easier to spot what you want to wear. I WON'T be showing you a pic of my unmetionavbles, sorry.

One, Two, Velcro my Shoe...

I got all these shoes at Sears for Dinosaur for only $36.33 when I brought him to the mall, or as he says I tricked him. It's not my best savings, but some stores sell ONE pair of shoes for $45 to $50 and I never understood that. I shop at Sears for shoes, since they seem to be the best price and the variety and quality of shoes are great.

They keep trying to get me to sign up for their rewards, but I did that before with my phone number and each time I went back I didn't have any points. I got fed up with their incompetence and don't give my phone number. I just wanted the shoes and that's it.

  

The two flip flops were originally $5.99 each, but they were on sale for $3.99 each.

 

The car's sandals were originally $22.99 but on sale for $14.99

The brown sandals were originally $17.98 on sale for $14.99

'Here's the receipt to prove how much I paid for the shoes. Did I get any for myself, NOPE. I'm a typical mom and always put my kid first. Though I do NEED to paper myself a bit more.

Original Price: $52.95

Sale Price: $36.33

Savings: $16.62

Not my best savings, but damn good if you ask me.

What's the cheapest price you paid for shoes? Do you shop for your kids more than yourself?
