I love Shopping.... I think I am addicted...

What girl doesn't like shopping??? I find myself weekly now getting the mail on Wed. to pull out the shopping ad's for my weekly trip to the grocery store. I see what's on sale, and plan accordingly. I really have found some great deals recently, and Josh has wondered what we are going to do with the over-abundance of cereal we have stored in the cabinets!! Hahaha

Yesterday we were on a mission. We are searching out whether we are going to get a new double stroller system with a matching car seat, or whether we are going to just use the system we have now, and buy Zach a nicer stroller. So, we set out yesterday morning to go to Babies R' Us, Target, and Walmart to look at what was available.

Babies R' Us has some nice stroller systems there, however really lacks in the double section. I was told that front to back doubles were easier, and better than side to side doubles. So, we are going to stick with recommendations and get a front to back one. But, it was either a sit n' stand one that was black, or a Red and Black one which was HUGE and when folded was very bulky. I would really ideally like something I can lift, and use comfortably. But, we did have some luck when we went to Babies R' Us finding more than a stroller system. :) They are having this great sale on all of their Clearance Apparel and Shoes. So, I was able to get two packages of these socks for Ethan, one smaller and one bigger for $6.70. The sale is buy one at normal CLEARANCE price, which was sometimes as low as $3.00 and get the 2nd piece for $1.00. So, the socks were $5.70 clearance or something like that, add a 2nd package for a buck. Not bad. Then, I went to the clothes racks, to see what I could find. I really don't need a lot of clothes for Ethan. I have BUCKETS full of clothes, some still with the tags on them, brand new. But, we found these two great shirts for Zach. $4.60 for 1,
and a buck for the 2nd on the clearance rack.

Then, it was off to the mall for us, cause I needed to look at the Motherhood store for some new pants and shirts. I just wanted to pick up 1 more pair of pants, and a couple new shirts. I only found 1 pair of pants. :( No shirts.... So, we walked the mall, had a nice lunch at Chik-fil-A and then went on our way. We ran into a shoe store to see what we could find, and scored on the Buy 1, get the next 1/2 off. Dad wanted to get Zach a new pair of shoes for winter coming, and I wanted to make sure we have some kind of shoes for Ethan, since he is going to be born going into Fall Months. We didnt hardly put shoes on Zach when he was born, cause it was too hot out. So, we don't have hardly any shoes for Ethan. So, my boys are going to match. Hahaha... soo cute. I can hardly believe I am going to have a munchkin in a size 1, and a big boy going into a size 8.

LOOK AT HOW SMALL THAT SHOE IS!!!

All for $21.00 I got the boys new shoes. :) So cute...

I love good bargains. :)
