We jumped back into savings this week thanks to the big Publix Viva Italia sale (not a sale to miss ever) and some big deals at CVS on Pull Ups, Toothpaste and more.  I also broke the rules and did two videos once for each trip.  I shared the CVS video earlier today and the you can watch the Publix video above.

Also thank you to everyone that emailed and commented with encouragement for our daughter.  This was a much more emotionally stable week as things weren’t so new and we are learning so much more.  Next week I already know will be a no-shopping week though with two trips back and forth to Atlanta to see a specialist there and another MRI.  We are very thankful for emergency savings funds and sweet friends for helping with our other kids!
