Savings Adventure

Last Friday, Allie and I did some shopping to finish picking up things for Sam's room. We still needed a changing table, a dresser, and several bedding items. We went to Nods and Ends, the outlet store for the The Land of Nod. It's the same store where I purchased Sam's bassinet. In addition to their scratched, dented, and returned items, they carry a selection of new or unsold items from their stores. We had a 25% off coupon from being on the email list, and needed to keep our total purchases under $300. Here's a selection of the items we found:

That is SERIOUSLY impressive!! My grandmother was a super shopper and I remember leaving the store once with several hundred dollars worth of groceries and $35 cash back... (she was amazing!) We can't wait to meet Sam and pray for him daily!
