Free Swimming Pool

I have been praying for a kiddie pool for my kids to use this summer, and today's $10/$30 Walgreens coupon allowed me to purchase one for free. Walgreens has $5 rebates in the May and June EasySaver catalogs for their $15 kiddie pools (we got the "Finding Nemo" one). So between the rebate and the $10 off coupon, the pool was free!

Of course, I had to buy $15 worth of other stuff to bring the total to $30, so I bought two Excedrin (on sale for 1.99 with $2 off coupons), a bag of Chex Mix (on sale for .99 with a $1 off coupon), a Clean and Clear product (4.99 with a $2 manufacturers and a $1 EasySaver coupon), and my consolation pint of Ben and Jerry's (which I get whenever my husband is out of town).

So I paid for the ice cream and a bit of the Clean and Clear, but everything else was free and my kids are going to have a BALL this summer with their new swimming pool! Don't forget to check out other super savings at Money Saving Mom.

Don't you just LOVE answered prayer?
I think sometimes we just forget to "ask". God wants to bless us and I'm so happy he blessed you and your little ones with a new pool.

Boy, I bet they'll enjoy that when it gets really hot! You should dip your feet in yourself, LOL!
Thanks for the nice comment on the romper I made. Hey, Joanne.com has a kit to make a no-sew fleece "Cars" pillow on sale for about $7.50--not bad if you can also find a free shipping code on line. Here's the link to the pillow:
