Shopping like Thieves!

This little Blog of mine should definitely not become a couponing blog, but I don't want to forget what happened yesterday!
When I started this whole couponing thing I was excited about saving a few dollars here and there, then, after a few weeks I became even more excited about scoring free toothpaste and other items at the grocery store every once in a while, but I would've never imagined to walk out of the store with two bags of groceries and more money in my pocket than I came with. 
Yes, that's right, the store paid me to take their groceries. Can you believe it? Because I still can't!
We took $25 worth of groceries and got $1.06 cash back! We kinda felt like thieves when we left the store...no one folowing us?...no?...okay then...I guess we're good!

Mein kleiner Blog soll auf keinen Fall zu einem Couponing Blog werden, aber ich will nicht vergessen, was gestern passiert ist!

Als ich anfing Coupons zu benutzen, habe ich mich gefreut, hier und da ein paar Dollar sparen zu koennen, dann, nach ein paar Wochen habe ich mich noch mehr gefreut, als ich ab und an mal umsonst Zahnpasta und andere Dinge im Supermarkt bekommen habe, aber ich haette mir nie vorstellen koennen, mit zwei Einkaufstüten und mehr Geld in der Tasche als ich beim reingehen hatte, den Supermarkt zu verlassen.
Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen, das Geschäft hat mich dafuer bezahlt, dass ich ihre Lebensmittel mit nach Hause nehme. Koennt ihr das glauben? Denn ich kann es immer noch nicht fassen!
Wir haben Lebensmittel im Wert von $25 mitgenommen und bekamen $1,06 noch dazu! Wir kamen uns wie Diebe vor, als wir den Supermarkt verliessen...laeuft uns auch niemand hinterher?...nein?...ok, dann ist das anscheinend in Ordnung!



And this is what we got: 6 bags of pasta, two yoghurts, two nesquiks and two chex mix!
It was REALLY hard not to do my little "happy dance" in front of the cashier! 
(But be assured that I did it in the parking lot:))

Und hier ist unsere Ausbeute: 6 Pakete Nudeln, zwei Joghurts, zwei Nesquiks und zwei Chex Mix!

Es war nicht einfach, meinen kleinen Freudentanz nicht direkt vor der Kassierin zu machen! 

(Aber ihr koennt euch darauf verlassen, dass ich ihn auf dem Parkplatz nachgeholt habe:))

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
