Coupons

I have to give a shout-out to my sister in law Kari. She is the queen of coupons and good deals. I was so excited to go to the store and pick up these items because I knew I was going to get a killer deal. I was planning on spending a dollar less than I spent...but they would only let me use 3 manufacturers coupons...not 4! With the store having a buy 8 for $5 sale, one coupon for $3 off when you buy 5, and another two coupons for $1 off...I got 3 boxes of cereal and two boxes of granola bars for THREE DOLLARS!!!! What a steal of a deal! Even though I was hoping to spend $2...you can't beat all that for 3 bucks!

I went back to the store armed with another $3 off when you buy 5 coupon, the 4th coupon for $1 off they wouldn't let me use on the above mentioned purchase and another coupon for 75 cents off. This was still a great deal...but not as good as the first. For the second purchase I got 3 boxes of oatmeal and 2 boxes of granola bars for $3.60. I love getting GREAT deals on groceries!

Today I am 24 weeks....that's right SIX months along. I still feel great (knock on wood). A couple of weeks ago I started a prenatal water aerobics class. After the first night I got home and told Jason that Ellie went swimming for the first time. He looked at me a bit puzzled and said..."Isn't she swimming all of the time?" We got a good little laugh out of that. So now I have to be more specific when I talk about our pool adventures. "Ellie and mom went swimming together for the first time" is more appropriately worded! I've really enjoyed the class so far. It gives me a nice work out without putting strain on my body. Plus I'm hoping that like the studies say...I'll have an easier labor and faster recovery by doing water aerobics. I just need one thing....

Can anyone tell me where I can get a SWEET swimming cap like this lovely lady? It would make water aerobics that much better!

Stay tuned for a future post with pictures of my growing belly.
