No coupons, but great shopping trip at BRU!!

For those of you who don't know, BRU is Babies R Us. :)

Tonight, I went in search of overnight diapers..... Parker's been leaking out of his regular Huggies Little Movers at night, so, we're back to the overnights. Meijer was OUT OF STOCK as of 2 days ago on ALL OVERNIGHTS! WTH??? So.... I made the journey to BRU. I spent way too much money but got some super good deals.

Alas....... I had NO COUPONS (to bring or even that were non-expired that would have helped me)

Mega box Little Movers (100 ct size 6) $41.99
Huggies Overnights (20 cnt size 6) $11.99
2 packages of Huggies wipes 2/$12
$69.93 on diapers and wipes!!! ACK!!!! including tax.......

So then I was looking at their clearance winter clothes.... that's where the fun begins :)
I got 4 pairs of pants, 1 pull over fleece, 1 polo shirt, and one complete outfit (pant/shirt) for $38.58!!! I saved almost 60%!!!!! Original price would have been $95.75!! Not bad at all!

Here's a pic of what I got!

Small Meijer trip on 2/8/2011

Alright ladies and gentlemen.... I got out of work earlier because I have to take vacation time in 4 hour chunks, so I'm taking a half day on Friday, so.... I had to cut some time somewhere, so... why not today!? haha!

I decided to stop in at Meijer and pick up a few things, I was hoping to get out of there for under $20 total. Look how I did!
