Going couponing....again...:-)

Tomorrow I have a couple of trips planned!  I've said many times that I'm trying to stock up as much as possible before little Hayden gets here sometime in July!  Since I do insane amounts of laundry, detergent is one thing I'm stocking up on!  Also: fabric softener, Cascade, Ziploc bags, shampoo, body wash, razors, etc.  I'm pretty much stocking up on all health and beauty items that we'll need so that the only shopping I'll have to do after D-Day (delivery day) is grocery shopping!  I'm also stocking up on food items that have longer shelf lives in the pantry.  I'm planning on going to Walgreens and Walmart tomorrow.  I'm going to be price matching a few sales, which I hate doing!!!  My Walmart isn't very nice to couponers/price matchers at all!!!!  There are only a handful of cashiers who don't mind and do it with a smile on their face and are very sweet!  Then you have the ones who see me coming, and give me the evil death stare! lol  Everyone knows that the cost of EVERYTHING is only rising, so why not take advantage of policies that companies have put in place that allow you to save money?  I might get dirty looks in the stores for carrying not just 1, but 2 binders full of coupons, but that's okay!  The thing that those people who're giving me those looks don't know is that they're paying for a lot of things that I'm getting for really cheap or FREE:-)  People might laugh at the thought of using coupons thinking that it's a waste of time, but how is saving money a waste of time?  I always go to the store with a detailed list, coupons, price matches, etc.  I know, down to the penny, what I'm going to pay.  Our one-income, family of 5 (soon to be 6) has a very tight budget, as one could imagine.  With various things that have to be paid, it only leaves us with a particular amount of money to spend each week on groceries.  Being the wife of a truck driver, for almost 5 years now, his pay is never predictable.  It's different from week to week, which is hard to plan a budget, but I make it work!  Well, I'm going to get Miss Emma ready for bed!  She's gone without a nap today and is quite the little sleepy head!  She's definitely had fun running around the house with her brothers this afternoon.
