WoW!!

Am I ever on a shopping high!!! I can't believe the deal I just made! Haha..I told my 19 yr old brother about it, knowing he doesn't really care @ all, but just needing to tell someone-his response 'Wow you just wasted some of my life, lol' --all the same, i told someone! My giddiness has yet to pass, of course, LOL..
K, here's what I did...last month, I took an email (printed out) to V.Secrets in search of a desperately needed new bra ...the email also had a code for free panties...I got a gorgeous (& wonderfully fitting) new bra, and a pair of underwear-after tax, etc., cost me $26.00--not too bad, I was willing to spend around $30-40, so that worked out well. Later that month, I came across an email offering their flannel pajamas at $29.50-quite the steal...(a month prior, they were approx. $60)--so, I coupled that sale w/ a 20% off coupon, and a code for free slippers, and altogether (pajamas, slippers, tax & s/h) came to $26.10! Go me! I had Andy wrap them & put them under the tree...also killed 2 items off my list (which otherwise would have been bought elsewhere & inevitably ended up costing more..) --pajama bottoms & slippers!
Well, when I bought the bra, b/c my order was over $10, they handed me a secret santa card, which can give you anything between $10-$500.00 off! (god bless the lucky woman who got $500 off! ) --and when I orered my pajamas, they also sent a catalogue which had a card in there for $10 off of ANYTHING...
SOO, when I got my email today saying that tomorrow the 25% off sale ended, I started browsing, just to see if I could pull off something amazing (i was thinking maybe another nice bra, or a cute little babydoll...) --I stumbled upon the underwear 5/$20.00 sale....and since I think the underwear I got free last month has GOT to be the world's most comfortable panties ever...and since my pregnancy last year has made my rather large underwear collection pretty pathetic looking...I decided on the 5 panties...
well, after the 25% off, the $10 off, and the OTHER $10 off (my secret santa card...) --even after s/h ($5.99) and tax ($1.01)--out of my pocket, i paid...
A WHOPPING $2.00!!!!
WOOO HOOOOOO!!!!
Seriously, if it weren't like 1a.m., and my son weren't lying in my arms, I'd be screaming for joy. =) Haha...and the 'expected delivery date' is x.mas eve...hopefully they will come sooner, and I can give them to Andy for my stocking! Go me!!!!

Of course, I have ENVELOPES filled w/ coupons w/ lists on the outside for my thursday & friday x.mas shopping adventures...& I sat there w/ the ads & coupons for HOURS, so I know I'll be pretty high off of those deals! Haha...I have to make it a point to start going to walgreens/cvs/rite aid every month to grab their rebate books...atleast then it'll be a ton easier to plan out my deals per month. =) They give you rebates for sooo much, and it ends up being free!!!

Can't beat free!!!

K..well that was wonderful =) (i'm excitedddddddd....plus, w/ the 'free panty' coupon, you can only get certain colors--nude, white, pink...and it's only in store, and of course i almost didn't find a size Medium, but I got the nude color..now I'll have basically every other color! LOL)

I need to get some sleep w/ the mr. monster here...kids. =)
