A Coupon Maniac...

Yes, thats me! In the past week the kids went back to school for me this means I now have 2 kids in school and only one at home its a little strange, especially since my mother in law has been taking my little one 1-2 days a week so I can work. 

With just one child at home couponing and shopping has become alot easier!! This week I have hit Kmart twice for deals and made a trip to Target, I just wish our town would get a Target!!!!

So my Target reciept is very very long the stack of coupons was large and I was amazed at the savings, it took a tad of planning but the savings with matching Target and Manufacturers coupons is GREAT!! I stocked up on lots of stuff for school lunches and toiletries etc
