Is this considered stealing??

So, for those who don't know, I LOVE to coupon! I love finding great deals and getting all kinds of things for practically free.

This past weekend I made trips to both Target and CVS and here are the deals I got.

Target: original total of purchases (before coupons) - $54.07, total amount actually paid - $20.21. This total included $20 worth of clothing for the kids that I didn't have any coupons for. I was pretty excited about this one...and then I went to CVS...

CVS: purchased one package 36 count Huggies diapers, one box of Huggies wipes, 2 bottles of Wisk laundry detergent (36 loads each), and 2 packages of Trident Layers gum; total value $36.54; total cash out of pocket (or should I say change out of pocket) $.55 (yes, that is 55 cents)!!! And to top it off, I got $.99 in Extra Care Bucks to use on my next purchase, so really they paid me $.44 to shop there! I love it when they practically pay me to take merchandise off of their hands!!

Yeah for coupons!!

Jackson Levi Gibbs

Well, about 5 1/2 weeks ago, on August 5th, my scheduled C-section went without a hitch and Jackson Levi was born around 2:30 in the afternoon. He was a whopping 8 lbs 10 oz and was 22 inches long! He was absolutely beautiful! Here are a few pictures.
