I am addicted to Apricot Scrub. There. I said it. I use it everyday. This week I ran out of Apricot Scrub. and diapers. Both are obvious necessities in my life. I'm not brand specific on the type of Apricot scrub I use or diapers really. I didn't buy too much this week, but managed to mess up my diaper transaction. o-well. I only got 1 pack of diapers because I am potty training my 2 1/2 year old and less diapers pushes me to try harder with the training. I am simultaneously putting my 3 1/2 year old in underwear at night to cut down as well. A nice diaper stockpile invites me into putting potty training off for a few more weeks...so therefore I am in strict ration mode!

and yes I bought more bodywash. Here is why. I can buy men's body wash just about every week, but girl, good smelling body wash, not so much. So, I took advantage and got 3 more because they are women's (and also because they are FREE), bringing my stockpile total to 5. Anxious to see how much I actually use this month!

This is what I got...

2 Ivory bodywash

1 Nivea bodywash

1 John Freida Hair foam color

**(serious roots y'all)

1 Apricot Scrub

1 Pampers jumbo pack diapers
1 mirra poof
1 mirra back scrubber

**Picture shows what's left of diapers!



This is what I spent - $8.11 (8 items)
 so far this month ($15.90 on 22 items) $14.10 left! Feeling good! All I think we'll need is maybe 2 more packs of diapers!

This is what I saved with sales/coupons - $30.45
