[Koolaid]

Hello Everybody!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!! We've been busy around here getting ready for my little man's 8th birthday this week, our autism walk (we start campaigning in April), Easter, and my son't first communnion!

So to start off I had to get few things to make my ice cream cake and something to wear! I so scored at Giant Tiger!

The song will explain the rest....

Freebie!
(Please sing-a-long to Easy...my favourite version is by Faith No More)


Know it looks sunny
But, I just can't stand the pay
Mom, I'm seein' you tomorrow
Seems to me Mom
You know I've done all I can
I killed the plants that I borrowed! (yeah)


Ooh I got a freebie
A freebie for Sunday morning
I got a freebie
A freebie for Sunday morning!


Why in the world does Metro daunt sales on me?
I've couponed through to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I have to pay for it! no!


Ooh I got a freebie
A freebie for Sunday morning
I got a freebie
A freebie for Sunday morning!


It's gotta be cheap, so cheap
I wanna be free to use
The coupons that are right
I SCOP'ed it free

So that's the fun over hear in the Koolaid household! Don't forget to tip the lady with a thumbs up if you like my post!
(Also if you have been too chicken to join superpoints, now is the time! I will donate 25 cents to Autism Speaks for every new person who joins and fills out their basic information!!)

Beautiful dress! My son's first communion is next weekend. Maybe I will head over to Giant Tiger too. Happy birthday to your wonderful boy as well.
Wish I had seen your superpoints add, I just joined a couple of days ago.

That's a really nice dress for just $9. Incredible! Also, congrats on his first communion. That is such a special time in a kid's life as they get to dress up and have cake afterward!

Nice shopping at Giant Tiger and Metro.

Now, about the song. I could not think of the tune when you said the group was Faith No More. After checking them out on the YouTube, I thought -- she's wrong. The best version is by Lionel Ritchie and THE Commodores (back in the day). LOL. Not trying to start a Smart Canucks fight in the brag section. LOL.

You did great a Metro, even though the Olymel box lied about the coupons inside. Go get 'em.

Happy birthday to Little Koolaid!

[Koolaid]

Oh those are good versions too....Faith No More is one of my all time favourite bands. They were my first concert when I was younger. I pushed my way to the front of the mosh pit to watch Mike Patton up close for 2 hours. (I also got to watch my cousin and friend pass me every once in while over my head...lol) I also got the measles from that concert too...LOL...ahh the memories! I went to Offspring the weekend after when they broke out....Mom and Dad then banned me from concerts for a bit after that.

Nice shopping at Giant Tiger and Metro.

[kristeven]

Great dress! Also love the shopping and song.

[Alicelovesmovies]

Awesome saving and the dress is super pretty x

[neelkamalll1979]

Great brag as always. I had a new cashier at IGA and she put $5.50 in coupons as charges not deductions so I feel for you. Make sure you get double back, so not just 50 cents for the over charge but a dollar to include the coupon. We had to explain it to the cashier and manager 2x before they understood.

[Koolaid's Mom]

good job little koolaid

[princesskimmi]

Awesome Shop Koolaid - As always I love your brags!!!
