great shopping trip!

[side note: I haven't updated this blog in nearly five months, however I've maintained my couponing. I've gotten so much better at it! I read others' blogs religiously and I decided to try and maintain my blog to hopefully help other people out there like I've been helped by reading blogs. seeing people get the good deals is a constant motivator! like we've all heard many times over: you're only good as the company you keep! so keeping 'company' with frugal people naturally motivates and maintains a frugal lifestyle for yourself!]

last night I braved the chill and left the comfort of our town home for a two store hounding trip i had planned. and it went quite well!

M. had been wanting some ice cream but I kept telling him to hold out until I could find a good deal(oh how i love him, especially when he waits for something until i find a coupon for it) so he was happy when he got off work and I told him there was a treat waiting for him in the freezing after dinner.
