Crayons!

Looking for cheap crayons? Walmart has the Crayola 24pks for 40¢ whereas Kmart has them for 25¢. Ad-match and save 15¢! Ta-daa!

A friend just asked me, "Why not just go to Kmart...?" Well, I'll tell you. Because Kmart is 1.1mi further away from me than Walmart. And that's 2.2mi roundtrip. Besides, why drive to all these different places when you can ad-match at Walmart?

Just went to Target and picked up a 26ct pack of Dropps laundry detergent pacs for $2.99. They're originally $7.99, marked down to $4.99, and Target.com has a $2 off coupon. Turned out to 11¢/load. They'll be perfect when we move and need to use the laundromat for the first 1-2wks.

Plus, I've heard the dye-free ones are safe for cloth diapers. Of course, it might be too much detergent unless you're washing a full load of diapers at a time. But I suppose if you just toss in some like colors to fill out the washer load, it should be fine.

At Walgreens the other day, I scored a bottle of Yes to Baby Carrots shampoo/baby wash for $2 on clearance instead of the normal $8. Uhm, YES! The kids had a lot of foamy fun in the bathtub that night. And they wash themselves playing with it so I don't have to try to hold onto a wet and squirmy 21mo!

But Walgreens is always a win like that. Take the time to walk the aisles and check out all the tags. A lot will be gone but you'll eventually score some awesome deals. Just make sure not to clear the shelf!

If there's 4 bottles of juice left for $1 each, don't take them all. Take 2, tops. If there's only 2 of something and you legitimately need both of them, it's okay to take them both. But remember that other people may need that same item. Don't clear out the teething tablets if you don't have a baby at home that uses them.

Seriously.
