Anyway, after we hit Safeway this morning we headed on out to Kohl's and here is what we came away with......
Oh yeah, look at those undies. Let me start off by telling you that I have one happy little man on my hands right now! :) He is a HUGE Star Wars fan and while I was looking for other things to spend my $10 coupon on he saw these and fell IN LOVE! I usually do not give into my kiddos if they ask for something at the store, especially when I'm on a mission with a coupon. I was looking for hats and gloves and stuff like that for next winter (YOU CAN USE THIS ON CLEARANCE TOO), because I haven't picked any up yet. I had a whole bunch of things picked out and carrying them with me, trying to get up to $10. Right? You got a coupon for $10.  Well, you know what that means to me? It means that I have to get to $10 and not too much over either. My mission is to not spend very much money. :) Well, I don't know what it was today, but something just struck me and he just made my heart melt when he saw those Star Wars undies. So, I figured "hey, JUST DO IT!" So, I DID IT! I retraced my steps through the store, put all of my things that I had gathered up back, one-by-one. We went back and grabbed the undies and he was SOOOOOO excited, but it was only $9.37. So, I found the little hair bow, for Faith, for $1.20! That's pretty good.

Star Wars Underwear $9.73
Hair piece $1.20
-$10 coupon
=$0.57!

My TOOP was $0.57, plus $0.05 tax! I saved $17.93!!

Well.....he was sooo excited when we got out to the van. He tore that package apart (hence the empty package on the table next to his undies), and took EVERY single pair of underwear out and checked them out. THEN, when we got home he had to try every single pair on before putting them in the wash. He now is on cloud nine! You know, that REALLY made my day! It also provided a nice way to talk to him about the use of coupons and how GREAT they are. So, he is EVEN more appreciative of mama's "cute pons," as he would say.

What did you get with yours?
