CHEAP Target Baby Wipes

Thanks to the tip from Krazy Coupon Lady, I was able to grab packages of 80 wipes at Target for just 89 cents! The prices at Target vary region to region, but using the 1.00 off coupon, you'll be able to score some very inexpensive baby wipes.

Check out the details here:

Burt's Bees Coupon

I'm a huge fan of Burt's Bees products. I love the lip shimmer for me, and the Baby Wash for baby Koala and baby Turtle Dove.

There are a couple of coupons available for Burt's Bees at www.redplum.com.

Thanks to Krazy Coupon Lady for the information. Check out her list of other great printables here:

The Drugstore "Game"

My friend Amy is joining the wonderful world of coupons!

She had her first CVS experience recently, and I warned her it can be addiciting.

An addiction that saves money, starts a stockpile, and is fun--not such a bad thing!

It takes time to learn the process, but it is worth it.

Here are some links to my favorite blogs--with great Drugstore Game and Couponing tips!
