The Last Few Days!

These past few days have been hectic to say the least! We have been doing a lot of running around and pricing things for future reference. Like for example, I am a huge money saver now that I am a Mom. You will never realize how much a baby costs until you have one. Case in point, Audrey goes through about 300 diapers a month give or take depending on if her system can digest her food intake properly. Now that she is in size 2 diapers the quantity of diapers in a package is reduced by 8 diapers, but I am still paying about $7.50 a package for LUVS.That means instead of only buying 6 packages I now have to buy 7 to have enough for the month! At 7.50 that makes my total diaper expense about $5 8 for the month. I decided to do some research comparing Costco's package of Huggies size 2 which is 258 at $43 to Wal Marts 294 at $58. Although I am getting only getting 258 diapers I am saving a good chunk of money on diapers which is always good in my book! I also priced their organic baby food and can save around $5 on 36 jars by buying them at Costco or I can go to the commissary on base and get a jar for $.35 cents which is even cheaper then Costco! Saving money is fun and it feels good knowing that I can give my baby good quality for good prices!Today I bought her these really cute bibs to wear all the time now that is drooling all the time and eating more solid foods!They fit her personality so well and they give everyone a good little laugh! I also found these great scarves for myself at Sportco for only $1.50. I asked if it was a mistake but she informed me that it wasn't! I picked up 2 of them! 1 in this great burnt orange and 1 in a light green!
I love great deals and have been finding a lot that have been hard to resist! I have also been doing some new dinner ideas which some are hits and misses but most of them are HITS! Nathan loves eating my experiments and already has favorites! Tonight was homemade Chicken Pot Pie from this recipe! I made the crust from scratch and used carrots, broccoli and corn with chunks of onion and garlic!It was amazing and again was perfect for this wet cold weather! Overall the last few days have been great! I am looking forward to Audrey's first Halloween and spending time with family!
