Wicked Smart

$8.50 out-of-pocket for everything here. Thank you, thank you.

I love getting free products in the mail! It's like Christmas in May! Today I got my full-sized new Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Cream Lotion, along with some samples and coupons. It's from this great site called SheSpeaks.com and sorry boys, it's only for women. (Even though I feel the name of the site should have indicated that, it's never safe to assume people aren't idiots.) You just register with the site, fill out a survey about your life, personality, likes/dislikes etc and they randomly send you offers about programs you can participate in. Once selected for a particular program they send you the item for free and you try it out. After you have formed an opinion about it, you log back on and fill out a survey about your findings. You can also talk about the product with other users, take polls etc. Super easy for free stuff! Now, if only the weather would cooperate so I can go out to the pool and actually TRY the lotion!!!

So. I apparently got a really good deal on all the stuff pictured here. I couldn't really tell you what I paid or break down how I did it (though I can tell you, it was with coupons!). This is probably why you aren't supposed to wait 8 days to post blogs while in the midst of a project like mine. Oops. And it's probably not an effective way to convince you all to coupon as truth be told I put the chips in my pantry and had completely forgotten about them until this evening when I just posted this. But, in my defense, what a way to diet! Step 1: Buy crappy food, like chips, for cheap. Step 2: Put in pantry. Step 3: Forget about chips. Step 4: Exercise. Lots of exercise (and water). Step 5: Lose weight. Step 6: Look so great in skinny jeans you don't feel the slightest bit upset at the money (albeit TINY bit of money) spent on crappy food, like chips.

Wow. When they say "sample" they mean sample. This has to be the tiniest thing to ever come from Costco!
