I Never Thought I'd be Glad...

...to see a coupon expire. Typically I say a little word of rememberance over the "good" coupons that have met their ultimate fate. Some are harder to let go of than others.

In this case, I was happy. Happy to see my Target Huggies printable laid to rest. Because I could print as many as I wanted, I used and abused that bad boy, and oh it was great in the beginning. My kids saw the diaper/wipes aisles more times than they wish to recount. My feet have walked many miles of the square footage of those aisles that lie annoyingly between the maxi pads aisle and the electronics department. I am surprised they didn't have a mugshot of me in the manager's office by the time January 10th rolled around.

I could have done more. I could have made more trips, visited more Targets, bought more stuff. But, I ran myself weary on this deal and, quite frankly, got tired of the temple of plastic organizing bins and burnt popcorn. Here are some pictures of my loot:



22 Tubs of Toddler Wipes



5 Shampoo - 3 Body Wash - 1 Handsoap


Closet #1 - The Wipes

54 Tubs - 31 Soft Packs - 28 Travel Packs

1 Box of Diapers - 4 Packages of Swimming Pants


Closet #1 - Close Up


Closet #2 - Alie's Diapers & Wipes

3 Bags of Diapers - 36 Tubs of Wipes

This is what's left AFTER using about 4 or 5 tubs of wipes, and giving away about 20 tubs of wipes to those in need. I've also opened a shampoo, a toddler wipe bucket, and a couple of trial sized packs.

Glad to know I didn't get carried away, huh? The past part of this is that everything was FREE.

For those who are curious (I was), I did the math of what was pictured. (Package count times how many packages).

Diapers = 226 (wish I'd done better here)

Toddler Wipes = 994

Baby Wipes = 8,600

Needless to say, if it comes out the back end, we're covered.
