we did it again. by we, i mean deacon and i. by did it again, i mean we got free stuff today using coupons. check out our goods. we also got deacon’s batman costume.
but first, i realized after a friend emailed me asking what blogs i follow for coupons that i had failed to share those sites. so, here you go:

sorry i didn’t link them. lazy blogger alert. also, sometimes they repeat each other and sometimes they talk about regional stores that aren’t around here.
today deacon and i went to old navy (but they didn’t have the pirate costume so we got a different costume later at target), then bath and body works, then petco (to say hi to the cats and birds and snakes), then to target. don’t worry, these are all in one shopping center so we just walk around to all these places.
i have no shame in going to a store simply for the free stuff. seriously, last week at target, i went in and paid 2 cents for that sample size laundry detergent. i don’t even play like i’m there for anything else.
so today we went to bath and body works b/c i had printed off a coupon for a free travel size item with any purchase. deacon and i needed some hand soap, so we bought one $3.00 hand soap and got a $5.00 travel size lotion free.
then to target. where after our juice and pretzel snack, we got this:
16.99 deacon’s batman costume (not on sale, but got a free pumpkin bucket with it)
.97 travel toothpaste (free with coupon)
2.99 baby wash (will send in receipt for offer to get free bath toy)
7.28 deodorant and body spray (used 3 coupons and got each item for .64 cents)
So total without coupons would have been $31.55 that includes tax. but thanks to coupons i spent $22.83. i love this game.
while i have no shame in my game, i do try to go shopping early or late to avoid crowds. because sometimes you’ll need to call a manager when the checker gives you grief about using so many coupons. you can actually print out target’s coupon policy and take it with you in case.
and a little sneak peek of our batman for halloween.
