Still no keys....

So for those of you who read my earlier post, I still have not found my keys. I had to have my mom come and get me on her lunch, take me to Roper Honda, wait for me to get a practice key and then take me home. I then had to do some nonsense to my car to get it started and couldn't turn it off until I got back to Honda for them to program a new key for me. Luckily my husband used to work there and they were super nice and gave us the employee price so I wasn't paying $80 for a new key. Then my sweet and awesome mama took me out to dinner at Olive Garden to relieve my stress. It worked!! So I though I would talk about organization, and then I decided I didn't want to stress about reading about being organized when I obviously was so not organized at all today. So I'm going to do that next week. It will also be before Friday!! I think this week I will stick to the persuasiveness of making you all coupon. I know you love to read about it!!

So the best part of this last week was my trip to Wal-mart on Sunday. This is how my reciept looked:
6 Boxes of Cereal
3 Packages of AA Energizer batteries(8 Pack)
1 Gallon of Milk
16 Tubes of Crest Toothpaste(Don't Judge me Yet)

Walmart paid me $1.31 after coupons to leave will all of this. This is how I did it.
I ad matched Ron's IGA for the Batteries, Milk and Toothpaste. The batteries were $2.99, the Milk was $2.88, and the Toothpaste was $0.49. I ad matched the Kellog's cereal to walgreen's which was $2.00. I had many different coupons that I used. They are as follows:

(3) $1 off Coupons for Batteries
(2) $3 off 3 Boxes of Kellogs Cereal
(1) $2 Off 1 Gallon of milk with purchase of 5 Kellogs Cereals
(8) $2 off Crest
(4) $1 Off Crest
(4) $0.50 Off Crest

On the Crest toothpaste is where I made my money. I made $1.51 on 8 tubes and $0.51 and 4 of the tubes. The other 4 tubes were free. So with all my coupons and ad matching, I didn't have to pay for any of this and got paid to walk out of the store with it. If you are still confused, you can ask me, or you can try one of these websites to help you out, http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/, http://www.iheartwags.com/, and http://www.frugalfritzie.com/.

Just so you know, I did not keep all that toothpaste. My mom works in an administrative building, and yesterday I took my son with the wal-mart bag full yesterday and he went trick-or-treating with toothpaste. He gave everyone in her office a tube. They loved it and though it was so cute. He is 4 and absolutely loved it. I'm trying to teach him and my other boys about giving and donating. Anyime we can get something free or cheap that we don't need or only need 1 or 2 of I still get as much as I can and then we donate it. They love to help others in need.

Until Next Time.....
