Things Happen For A Reason Brag (Walmart, FB, and ROAKS!)

[Koolaid]

Wow! Today is my speachless day...(what you say...Koolaid...the chick who types novels for brags is speachless...lol)...I've never felt so loved and fortunate. We are having a tough month....truck breakdowns have kept the hubby home for very long....eating through my small stockpiles of food (yes almost all those pizzas are gone!) Got a text from Telus...your phone time will expire in 5 days...great! $20 to my name, I have to get my nephew a gift for his first communion this weekend (going to be interesting after Mothers of Distinction gala Saturday night.) So I thought...best chance to pay less...pray Walmart has restocked the Olays (need more for my charity garage sale anyway....May 14th in Ajax if anyone wants to drop by...PM me for addy). I also remember my hubby traded our son $10 for his Walmart $10 gift card so I had that too...

Got to Walmart and no Olays....picked up my usual one Nivea and headed to the jewelery section. Found a cross necklace (manly one) for $19.00. They made me buy it there....sigh

Necklace $19.00
Nivea $1 - $2.00 coupon = made $1
Total $20.60 - $10 gift card= $10.60 paid
(sorry can't post just incase my sister is snooping)

So headed back out and grabbed my $10 prepaid card and another nivea. Took 12 more Gillette foamies too...more for my sale...good but doesn't cut down my bill enough. Then I sneezed. I reached into my pocket for a tissue and there was 8 Nexxus $3.00 superstore coupons! Oh...I thought...please have restocked these...please please! I turned the corner and there they were!!!!! I also got to get my hubby 5 addidas deoderants too as my Dad raided my stockpile and too a 2 year supply! (The man gave me life...he deserves to smell nice... )

So here's the run down

Telus card $10.00
5x Addidas deoderant $2.27 each - 5x $2.00 = 27 cents each
Nivea cream $1 - $2 coupon = $1 made
12 Gillette foamies $1.27 each - 4x B3S $5 = $4.76
Aveno shampoo (for Mom's mother's day gift...hope she doesn't peek) $5.00 clearance $3.00 - $3 coupon= free
6x Nexxus Shampoo $2.00 - 6x $3.00 off coupons= made $6.00
2x Nexxus Conditioner $3.00 - 2x $3.00 = free
Subtotal $-0.41
Tax $7.62
Paid $7.21!!!


Food Basics next to grab the hubby a bit of food for the road!

Bread $1.99
Bagels 2/$3
4x Budding Lunchmeats 79 cents each - 2x B2S $0.55= $1.03 for 2
3x Vileda gloves 99 cents - 3x $1.00 = made 3 cents
Total $8.90
Paid with Stouffers gift card = FREE

To top it all off the garbage/recycling man appologies to me again that he can't find any stouffer/lean cuisine boxes and hands me another free ice cream and free salsa!!!!

Also found a free juice on my recycle walk too!!!

Then I got the mail!!!! I got ROAKed and it was the perfect timing for it!!! Thank you so much XOX2010!!! She gave me 2 FPC for Stouffers meals!!! You've fed me and my family for two nights!!!!!

Also a big shout out to Couponclippingjerk who came over and donated a ton of stuff to my charity garage sale for Autism Speaks!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Plus the hubby filled my car with all the empties...well...I got back every cent I spent today at Walmart!!!!!! Everything happens for reasons and someone is looking out for me!!!!!
