Past shopping adventures with GREAT results!

These are my last 4 shopping trips/days that I made in the past couple weeks. I think I did pretty good considering I was on maybe 3 hours of sleep each night, had both kids with me, and didn't have my coupon binder with me since my husband just got it for me.... so no organization!!!
