One more Lillyism for the day - After we got home I was cleaning up, putting away Lilly's bag she takes when she goes to stay with someone for the day or night. She saw me and thought I was packing it and asked, "who me going to huh?" LOL

Our first visit to Ikea
Yesterday we finally made our first visit to Ikea! We started with lunch. Rhett and I both got the Swedish Meatballs. It was pretty good. Lilly got the Mac and Cheese with Veggies. She ate about two bites of carrot.
Then we started our journey through the showroom. We really liked some of the kitchens. I really loved some of the organization solutions in the kitchen cupboards! We are going to have to go back when we have a new house to remodel and decorate! Lilly told me, probably five times, "me want my mac-ee-roni cheese." Some day she will learn to eat her food when it is in front of her, instead of waiting 20 minutes then deciding she is hungry. The kid's section at the end was the most fun! We found some bowls, cups, plates, and utensils for Lilly. The bowls, cups, and plates all came in a set of 6 for $1.99 each! The utensils are a set of 18 for $1.99. We found the computers to sign up for the Ikea Family Card, so we signed up and got a coupon for a free frozen yogurt, yay! Then we did one more quick walk through and found a stool for $14.99. Lilly can use it to reach our sink better to wash her hands and brush her teeth. Rhett and I can use it to reach the top shelves of our kitchen cabinets.
After our second walk through we went downstairs and looked through the Market Hall. By this point, Lilly was bored to sleep. :-) We got a new pot to re-pot my Christmas Cactus, for $2.99 and a Watering Can, for $.99! We checked ourselves out, got our free frozen yogurt cone, and loaded up the car. Lilly woke up and scarfed down most of "i ceam cone." She did not wait 20 minutes to decide she wanted to eat that! If only getting her to eat real food was so easy! After the cone was long gone and we were almost home Lilly said, "Thanks, Daddy fo sharing i ceam cone wit me." Awww!

Koupons
Yesterday, the girls and I made our rounds to the stores for the deals. First stop was King Soopers, where select Colgate toothpastes are on sale 10/$10. We used four $.50/1 coupons (which King's doubles to $1/1) to get 4 tubes of toothpaste free! Yoplait greek yogurt was on sale for $1 each. After a $1/2 coupon they were $.50 each.
Next stop was Target. Target is great because they will accept a Target coupon and a manufacturers coupon on each item. Activia Yogurt is on sale $4/2. Target has a $2/2 coupon and I had two $1/1 coupons so with the coupons they were free! As much as Rhett makes fun of the commercials, he will still eat it! Target has 3 packs of Up2U Mentos gum on sale $5/2. I had two target coupons and two manufacturers coupons for $1/1 which made each 3 pack only $.50! Wishbone salad dressing was on sale for $1.89, after a Target coupon $1.50/2 and two manufacturers coupons $.50/1, they were $.64 each! Target sells sample bags of Iams Dog Food for $3 and I have coupons for $3 off any bag of Iams, but every time I have looked they have been sold out. Except for yesterday. They had three bags. And my coupons were... at home. I was bummed! But Rhett and I went back later and still had three bags so we bought them and just paid tax. Well, they actually somehow only took off $8.71 for three $3 coupons so we paid $.29 plus tax - $1.10 for three 20 oz bags of dog food, not bad!
Safeway was the last stop, Poptarts were on sale for $1.99 for a box of 12. I had a coupon for $.70 off, which was rounded up to $1 off making the box $.99! Lilly found some Mickey Mouse Pillsbury Valentines Cookie Dough for $1.50. I had a coupon for $1/2 so they were $1 each. Some of the other good deals were, four boxes of cereal for $7, GoGurts for $1.50 a box, Rosarita Beans $.66 a can, a package of 2 Dole Fruit Crisp for $1, and package of 2 Yoplait Light Yogurt with Granola for $1.
$96.15 worth of groceries for $32.83 - Not including the dog food that would bring it to $105.15 worth for $33.85! Couponing is addicting! Especially when you get such great deals!
