I used to hate going to my mailbox in anticipation of the same ol’ same ol’.  You know, bills, junk mail and more bills.  Since becoming a Mr. Cheapstuff follower I feel like wrapping a big bow around my mailbox.  Quickly my ordinary Tuesday can be transformed into Christmas on Tuesday!  Some of the freebies I’ve received impel me to want to write, call or shout from the roof tops.  That’s where Frugal Living comes in.  I want to hear from you how a Mr. Cheapstuff freebie or fantastic deal has turned your ordinary day into an extraordinary one!

 

Remember the Pampers Free Potty Training Kit posted back on August 8th of this year?  I hope you got in on this one.  I received it in a relatively short amount of time ironically during our own potty training adventure with our 3 year old.  The kit came wrapped in a plastic package with a Dora diaper, coupons, etc.  Putting it aside to use at a later date because Potty Training was going so well for us.  Then like rush hour traffic this smooth ride from toddler to childhood came to a screeching halt!  Having forgot about receiving this fantastic freebie, I was cleaning out my 3 year olds closet and stumbled upon it again. 

After opening it up to my surprise not only was there a Pull-Up disposable diaper with the celebrity of our home, Dora.  Lots of money saving coupons, a potty chart with miscellaneous Dora and Diego character stickers and a reward trophy.  This has saved the day!  Anyone with kids knows how costly diapers can be.  Any type of training pants whether it’s store brand or the more mainstream popular brands are expensive! 

 

We displayed the sticker chart and stickers near the potty and whenever the potty is used, she’ll be able to pick out a sticker to put on her chart and she gets to have her trophy at the end of the day.  It starts all over the next day.  This has been a little gift from the potty gods for us.  I’m happy to say, we’re now 2 weeks into a successful round of potty training!  Thank you Dora and Pampers!
