Dallin and I took a trip to the mall today. I had some stuff to return to Target, plus I was hoping their backpacks were finally marked down to 75% off. They were! So, if you are in need of a backpack, get yourself to Target. I also noticed that some boys/girls items were marked 75% off. I picked up a swimsuit for Austin for $2.74.
In other bargain news, JCPenny is having an additional 40% off their clearance prices. That makes the clearance items at least 70% off the retail price. I had one of my best JCPenney shopping trips ever. I picked up 2 High School Musical shirts (to save for Allie next Spring) & a work/dress shirt for Steve. Guess how much I paid? You love this game, don't you? I paid $2.13!! I did have a $10 off a $10 purchase that JCPenney sent me, that's what made it an even better deal. The regular retail price was $77.48. YIKES! Who really pays that? The dress shirt was normally $37.50, and it was marked down to 5.97, then I got an additonal 40% off of that. Now is the time when I buy spring/summer clothes for the kids for next year, when they are cheap. JCPenney will eventually go to an additional 50% off, and that is usually when I do the shopping, but since I had the coupon I went now.
To finish off our fun trip to the mall we went to Auntie Anne's to get a "big pretzel", that's what Dallin calls them & we checked out the Star Wars books at the bookstore.
Also, I think I will soon be creating a separate blog for all the "frugal" type stuff. I am amazed how many people want and read that kind of info. I have obviously tricked a few people into thinking that I am "amazing", I am not. I was raised by a cheap father (sorry Dad, you are cheap!) & so the bargain stuff is just a part of me. My brain thinks in the "how can I get the most for my money" way. I am sure Steve finds it annoying at times, he doesn't think coupons for dinner during our date nights are very "romantic". Plus, he is tired of playing the "Guess how much I got this for game." I don't know why, I never tire of that game. I have learned where to look for the deals, and my hope is to find it all and put it in one place to share with you. We all can work together to increase our food storage, stock up on toiletries and get cheap clothes for our families. I will keep you updated if I decide to make the change.

You should totaly create a seperate blog, then those that don't care for the frugal stuff (shame on you people) can just keep in touch with the family stuff.
I LOVE the frugal stuff! I can't get enough of it! I think I check your blog DAILY in hopes of a new "Frugal Friday" blog or a Deal of the Day! I've even told a bunch of my friends about you too. You ARE amazing! Love you!
