part of our shopping on my birthday included a stop at ikea. that stop turned into a pretty productive trip, and we decided to invest in two new chests of drawers for our bedroom so lee's clothes would not have to stack up on the floor anymore :). we love them...especially the small hidden drawer inside the top drawer. trust me, it's there.

i had a day off of work, as did katy. so, she stayed in town to go shopping with me! i had a special surprise email savings code at the gap outlet. typically, when i can/want to go shopping, i do not find anything worth buying. luckily, today was a different story and i was very much able to spend birthday money!

monday, july 5

everyone knows i love a good deal so it should come as little surprise that i am admitting to shopping the gap outlet 4th of july sales twice in 5 days. i saved a killer amount of money and bought stuff for lots of people. i realize i should have photographed everything i saved on, but i was too excited to think of that and only snapped a picture of the bag!

after being gone for three weeks, we had no food to eat in the apartment. after some serious coupon clipping, i set out to restock our kitchen. i saved....$45!!!! oh man, it still gets me excited to think about it. i know i might be a dork because of this, but i am a dork who saved $45 on groceries :)

i'm a nerd, i know. i have developed a hobby for couponing. i love the idea of saving money by simply taking the time to cut a few coupons out of the paper. i totally make back the cost of buying the paper (which should be no one's excuse not to coupon). plus, i can print them from these great websites as well! i love that some of my favorite stores for groceries & household items (target and walgreens) have their own store coupons too because you can "stack" a store and manufacturer coupon and get a great deal sometimes.

i took a tip (one of many) from my mom and bought a coupon organizer. this little beauty makes shopping so much easier because i always have it with so i cannot forget any coupons, and i can keep them organized by food, bathroom items, paper products, etc. love it!

oh, target dollar bins...you lure me down your aisles every time i walk through the doors. i rarely buy anything, but i do love the possibilities you offer each time at such low prices.
