Today is the day! May 14th 2011 the United States Postal Service hosts the nations single day largest food drive. Just sit your bags or boxes of non-perishables out by your mailbox and they will pick them up for you! I love that couponing has made it possible for me to donate. I have four bags ready to go , and waiting on my husband to wake up to see if he is ever going to eat this soup . If not I will have another bag full

I had another very successful mega trip today. I am always nervous at the checkout, 90% of the time I have Lily with me so its always hard to try and focus on calculating what's in the cart. This trip I was using my cell phone calculator as I was adding to the cart but I was still getting confused and thought for sure I was miscounting something and I would owe more then what I had in my wallet.. However I was wrong and it came out even better then I thought!

I bought the coupons for the Quakes off Ebay for $1.50 so adding that in I got over $100 worth of groceries for under $20!
*Sorry I don’t have time to add all the coupons I used but if you have been following my trips the past two weeks, they are pretty much the same. The Perdue Chicken Nuggets are not on the Mega, just love them.*
Now you won’t hear those words from my mouth very often. I normally despise going to Wal-Mart . Why in the world do they NEVER have any lanes open? Every time we go , no matter which one we go to there are only two cashiers working. Ugh anyway…but since they have changed their coupon policy to give us overage, I can deal with it…every once in awhile. I had went to Target earlier today specifically to get Lysol Wipes for $.39 BUT I totally walked out of the house without the coupons so I decided to go to Wal- Mart which is closer to my house. Most of the coupons I used are tearpads or printable no longer available .

This is a perfect example of how to use overage to get things you normally need anyway. (toilet paper …razors) I went specifically for the Lysol Wipes and ended up with a lot of great donation items! And Lily got a shirt 
*Thanks to my hubby for going through line and getting the second Similac , this will be perfect for my donation box I am planning on dropping off this weekend. *
I headed back to Kroger today to pick up some more good deals. After I got home I realized the Oral B toothbrush must have been the wrong one because it didn’t count towards the mega event , which in turn ruined my mega event participating items so I didn’t get the $5 off. I didn’t notice until I got home simply because my total was so low I just assumed it all came off. I went back to the store and switched the toothbrush with the correct one and got $5 back. It always pays to check your receipt before you leave.What I love about this trip is everything is healthy! Ok well maybe not all healthy I did have to throw in a bag of Easter clearance candy
