missed a week...

So we went to the beach all of last week. Let me tell you, travelling with a toddler and an infant is no fun task. I spent 2 months getting ready for this "vacation" and it actually ended up being more work than if I had just stayed at home. We were there for 7 days and I saw the ocean a total of 4 times. Kind of a bummer.
On top of that I didn't get to do any of my regular shopping. CVSing, WAGsing, etc. are what I do on Sundays for some ME time and I didn't get to do that. I was going to, but I had left the coupons I needed at home so it wouldn't have been much fun. I passed all kinds of stores that I would like to have poked my head in to: Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Kroger...we don't have those around here. That is when I realized that I do have a sickness....who wants to go grocery shopping on vacation?!?!
I went and did some shopping today. Kind of a bummer too because not all of my ECBs printed out. I decided to just wait and call CS since it is always such a problem trying to take care of it in the store.
At Wal-mart I found the big boxes of diapers on clearance for $10. That was the best deal. I ended up paying $8.xx for a big box diapers, 2 huggies cleanteam wipes, and 2 zantac.
At FL I hit the jackpot with catalinas. Between yesterday and today I got 17. And most were not brand specific. (ex. $1.50/$5 laundry detergent purchase or $1/$4 toilet paper purchase) All of them are store coupons too so I can combine them with ones that I already have.
So now I have some planning to make this week/weekend better than my last week.
