Paying for the tickets is always the part that hurts the most!

Hi Stahshee!

You are so inspiring! I just read through your PTR so far and it is so much fun to see how much money you are saving a little at a time! I'm going to look into cashing in cans!

I read your last report and also really enjoyed it! I think your DH must secretly love WDW since he wants to go back already.

Please keep giving us your helpful tips. This is a really interesting and fun report to follow.

Good luck with getting the rest of your trip together!

Kim

Any more freebies?

 

[stahshee]

why yes...I have been writing to company's and telling them how much I enjoy there food. I did get some free coupons to use on the trip

5.00$ VIPs gift certificate to bar S... I will use that for bacon
Synders of Hanover gave me a coupon for a bag of chips


I found 2 super pretzel coupons from last trip that I never used and have no expiration date

I have a free cascade that I will use for the trip

Oh and my Friend works at the recycle plant and she gave me tons of Coke tops and boxes.. I want to cash them out for free drinks. I think I will have about 18 soda's or bottle waters . I want to get the waters for me and the kids , but DH loves soda:

 

[stahshee]

I am toying with the idea of checking in one suitcase filled with food. It will cost me 15$. I will throw away the suitcase when I ge there so I will not have to pay to bring it back home.(its really UGLY and 60's)

Reason why. I think Im only going to have 50.00 in Wal Mart gift cards.. I just do not want to spend any more money. I also have lots of free coupons for foods.. So it might just work

Other reason why.. I have been on a coupon spree/ sale items. I have gotten tons of poptarts for 50 cents a box. Also I have gotten 2 HUGE boxes of cereal for about 1.oo. I also have tons of stuff I can bring from home.. I dont know yet... I need to think about this

 

[stahshee]

this is all the stuff I have collected FREE .. Thnks to fatwallet

50 shampoo samples
2 Mr clean magic erases
8 soap.. A lady I know cleaned out her cabinet and gave me free brand new soap
4 deodorant
1 razor
2 packs of flush-able wipes
2 garbage bags
napkins
sugar packets
8 Ziploc baggies

this is all free and i will use them for our trip

I am trying to plan a Ch lunch/late breakfast.. It will be with just 2 youngest and dh. I HATE breakfast food. I can not think of a place I want to eat. My girls want to do a princess but the price is very much and I dont think Im getting my"food" worth. I was thinkig CP, but I just dont know what to do. I would love to do the princess for my girls but I just don't know if I want to spend that much I do not think DH would like the food @ princess breakfast..ahh I need some advice.

We have eaten at CP for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The character interaction was really fun.
