The kiddos and I were able to venture out for a short errand trip the other day before our temps plummeted to the sub-zeros.  One of the stops we made was Hobby Lobby.  By using the 40% off coupon for this week and checking out the Christmas clearance, I was able to get everything pictured above for just $12.59!  Normally, the total would have been over $30.

The hat boxes will be put to good use hiding some of the misc items that seem to constantly be cluttering up our bedroom dressers.  The ribbon was just too good of a deal to pass up at $.20 for the whole roll. 

And my favorite item… the Puzzle Cake kit, was just $9 after the coupon!  I plan to use this for Bubba’s upcoming birthday.  If you’re looking for a theme other than trains, Amazon has some other great kits, too.

See how I spent only $35 for groceries this week!
