I am broke but I need a WDW fix

[Gisele]

I like that! that is funny! matter of fact, I am chuckling as I type,

stole some money out of dh's car (he uses it for tolls) don't tell dh . I left him some in his car.. He will never know (he is loaded with change.. not pennys the good stuff silver only )

I agree, the best stuff is the SILVER, BABY! especially quarters and dimes,
and don't worry, I know nothing about it, I like to take the Sgt. Schultz approach to life, when it suits me, he he!
I still say he should follow through on his word, for paying for the condo, I am trying to figure out why on earth he said he would, then at some point, whamo, he is not? that's o.k. though, you can just put extra starch into his shorts, amongst other tactics, to drive your point home!

Do you know what stores have this brand? I checked Walmart but couldn't find anything Marcal! I know I have seen it before somewhere! LOL

 

[Gisele]

Good going again, Stashee, with the coupon savings! most excellent!
I do not recognize that brand either, but it could be a matter of geographic location. For example, I know of no Aldis in Ca. I don't believe that there is one either in So.Ca. We do have Safeway, (nor cal) Vons, (So.Ca) Target! yeah, I love Target, amongst other stores of course.

I was thinking the same thing .

You haven't been posting too much about your trip lately.
How is the trip planning coming along? How are you doing with your saving? Have you started packing?
Are you going this month or next month?

 

[stahshee]

I am so busy so here is a short up date
Well lets see. I have 300.00 put away for my car rental (600 for a 12 passenger van.. split the price in half with my dad) I am going to bring 1,200 with me and I want to come back with 700 or more.(the 300 is seperate from the 1,200)


Just this month I have been grabing dollar bills
I have put away 25.oo in dollar bills to be used for airport food. I also have 6$for the pool pas at WH.

I also have all my gift cards I think the total was 490.00 I am also waiting for one more 25.00 Rain Forrest Cafe gift card. This card is taking forever to come!

I also have my change jar which is pretty pathetic.. Maybe 25.00

 

[lmillercrew]

My change jar is pretty pathetic too. I counted the other day and I had $9. Woohoo!! I really need to get crackin on the aluminum can thing tho. My husband still thinks it's ridiculous, but I don't care. I'm not working, so why not contribute. Sure hope my neighbors don't see me picking through their recycle bins late at night

 

[Gisele]

That is funny Imillercrew, and if you do that, don't worry about it, why should the garbage/recycling co. make all of the money?

 

[Gisele]

OMG! Stashee! once again, that is really great, between savings, and gift cards, what a nice stash!

 

[stahshee]

ok I went on my trip... I went with 490 in gift cards and I came home with 135 in gift cards... Still have a 75.WDW gift card that I never used.. also 45.00 in sub way 5 in McDonald's and the rest was in Wendy's.

My father and I had a combined amount of 165 in wal mart cards. I had so many coupons that I used. My bill was 205.00 with coupons 135.00 (we ended up going back to Wamart to buy more snacks and used up the rest of the card)

Pizza hut... I did eat there two times and I had to throw in some money on top of my gc. Rain Forrest was so much money I had to throw in about 100.00 more on top of my gift cards. (we did eat there 2 times and split meals also)
Wendy's .. well we never used the entire card. Sub way was OK


I went with 1,460 in cash and I came home with 1,160

I did pay also for shuttle bus tipping. My DD ended up with an Ear infection and that cost 60.00 for meds. I also did buy my 2 youngest some shirts on clearance for 40.00.. My kids had there own spending money . I did pick up two Christmas ornament's for my tree that was 30.00 .. Of course it was really free due to I earned it on Sunshine rewards


also we had so much food we had to throw it away.. Next time I think we should eat more in the house!

 

[lmillercrew]

Oh My GOSH You're back!!!! You don't sound like you had a very good time, but with an ear infection to deal with, I'm not sure I would have a very enjoyable trip. Kinda like going to Hawaii and dealing with a shark attack!! (yeah, DH last year)
I can't believe you came home with so much money! You are very frugal and I hope you are going to post a TR!!:

 

[Gisele]

Welcome back! I had remembered that you would be leaving this month, and I hope that you had a great trip.
I am sorry Stahs about the ear infection that your daughter ended up having, I am wondering, did she end up with such, because of the flight? or differences in temperature between the climate that you live in and that of Florida? or perhaps, she was in the initial stages, before leaving for your trip? anyway, that is too bad, I am hoping that she is fine now, and that she was o.k. otherwise, if not down right great! while visiting WDW.
That is so awesome, how much money you were able to keep, and bring back with you.
Will you be writing a trip report?

Take care,
