diaper deals

Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've kind of taken a break from couponing.  I would take a few coupons to the store when I grocery shopped, but I definitely didn't do any "deal shopping".  The great thing about couponing is that I only had to buy food while I took my little break.  I never ran out of toilet paper, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, toothpaste and any other personal items.  I'm so stocked up on all that stuff that I didn't have to buy any of that on my 3 month couponing hiatus.  

Today I spent a little time printing some coupons (on my new wireless printer!!) and planned out a shopping trip to CVS and Walgreen's.  I would say it was pretty successful considering I got 2 packages of Huggies diapers for only $2.31.

Here's how I did it.......
