I have done some shopping here and there, but I'm very behind on posting. Today I am trying to catch up!
I haven't really had time to stick to a budget...I've just picked up what deals I had a chance to snag.
All of these trips are from the past few weeks so the sales might be old. But I wanted to catch you up on my savings. I am combining all of my trips for the same store just to save time and space.
I know this seems like a lot but this is for the past few weeks plus Easter stuff.

Welcome to my new and improved blog! Sorry about the confusion on having to move, but I was unable to post the links I wanted and the server I was using just wasn't as good as I expected!

It'll take me a few days to get things going (especially with Easter coming up) but please hang in there and I'll have some great deals for you soon!!
