FREE

I still love bargain shopping/coupon clipping. Is it dorky that if that's kinda my biggest hobby right now? I adore walking into a store and walking out with $60 worth of stuff that I paid just pennies for... or that I made money off of. I have had a rockin' couple of weeks at Rite Aid (probably the best store ever). Here are some of my spoils from the past 3 weeks... all at least free. I think overall, I made a modest profit off these transactions.




Yes, I know there are those of you with a sharp eye who think they may have figured some things out about me. I mean, why else would there be pregnancy tests, baby shampoo, and diapers pictured among these transactions? Let me just put all that to rest right now. Sometimes I just buy stuff because it's a good deal (aka FREE-- yes, even the diapers. In fact, I made a little bit off the diapers). And let me tell you that I give away an enormous amount of what I buy because there is no way in the world that we could ever use it all. Our new friends upstairs have a little boy in diapers. I asked his size before I went shopping. A woman in our ward has a baby shower coming up. Looks like the baby shampoo may have a new home as part of the shower gift. I still need to make a friend who has heartburn and a friend who is constipated because it seems like medications for those 2 conditions are frequently free. I have a bunch of those right now. So sorry to burst anyone's bubble who might've gotten excited for a small moment.
But do be excited about bargain shopping with me. Because it's fun. And I like it.

I was totally suspicious when I saw the ept test, so thanks for not leaving us in suspense, at least. :) Also, we need to figure out how to become your neighbors!
