Just wanted to brag.....

I've been really out of the couponing lately. This pregnancy has been a rough one, and that is one of many things I've let go. But, this week's ad at Safeway was just too good to pass up. I got all this stuff for $24.20, and saved 83%!
Here's what I got:
2 Corn Pops
2 Corn Flakes
7 Quaker Oat squares cereal
10 Old Orchard frozen juices
15 boxes various Betty Crocker fruit snacks
1 box Kellogs fruit snacks
2 boxes Nutri-Grain bars
3 bags fresh express salad blend
1 2lb Tillamook cheese
2 bottles Marie's pourable dressing
and, 3 lbs red delicious apples.
(If any of you know how fast Gerritt goes through cereal you'll know that 11 boxes won't last long.)
Finally, a pay period since I got pregnant that I didn't go over budget! YES!

Big Girl Bed

Last year Gerritt bought me a sewing machine for Mother's Day. I begged him for it, so I could continue my journey in becoming the epitome of domesticity.  Alas, sewing and I are not friends. In the past ten months since Mother's Day, I have completed two projects. And have accumulated many unfinished or unstarted projects. One said project is a quilt for Abby. I wanted her to have something special for when she moved up to the "big girl bed." Since I didn't want to wait too much longer to transition her out of her crib, I decided to take her to Wal-Mart and find something that could be used right now. She picked out a very pink comforter, and now LOVES having her big girl bed! (We'll see how bedtime plays out later.)

Here are a few pics:
