OOP: $11.39
Saved: $41.66
Part of the reason my OOP was so high was because I did make some unexpected purchases. The cereal was not the best deal as it was not on sale, so paid $1.89 a box for them. Since I am not stocked up on cereal, I am sort of stuck paying more for it. Plus, as always, J talked me into it :) We were also desperately in need of paper towels, which accounts for almost half of the OOP here!

Overall I was really happy with this trip! I also feel like J is FINALLY getting why stockpiling is key. It took awhile, but today while we were looking at the Not On Sale Cereal, I said "OK, Babe, now you know when I want to buy something that is a good deal, and you say 'but we don't need that right now'?" And he said "Yeah, I understand now why you do that". Haha! I'm getting through. He also commented later on how stocked up we were on so many items. He even went to look and see how much the sponges that I got for free yesterday at Albertsons would have been if we bought them at Target ($10 bucks). He was pretty impressed that I got them for free. :)

Heather - Yes, I LOVE free stuff! And I am so stoked on the Dove deodorant, I'm really brand loyal to Dove :) And I'm pretty stocked up on it now, a few days ago I was thinking "I probably shouldn't buy anymore deodorant for awhile..." But then I couldn't resist this freebie!
Penguins: Jules, is that you? Yes, I LOVE the rocket song, I listen to it in the car on my way to and from work and sing it, which puts me in a great mood :)
