I am moving out of my apartment and need to know a cheap way to fill holes in my walls from nails and stuff.

Major Kudos on the white toothpaste! I never even thought of that.
-Can't just leave them, I would like my deposit back!

I used to use toothpaste in the dorm rooms. Crest for the light blue walls, any white for the others.
or, get some spackling compound and a small can of matching paint.

At least go to a hardware store and get some Spackle. That is what you should use.
In the future, you may want to try using just plain straight pins. You'd be surprised on the weight they can hold expecially if put in with at an angle

go to your local hardware store and get some lightweight spackling. it's only a couple of dollars and it works great. don't be shy, and ask the people who work there to help you find it. Here's a link as well. The cheapest one is like 2 or 3 dollars. http://www.reddevil.com/productDetail.cfm?id=0541RT&c=pr&cat=47

In college, we used white toothpaste.

normally you are not required to fill holes from nails and stuff. It's considered normal wear and tear. I would check with your landlord first and see if it's necessary.

Tooth paste does wonders, white paste of course.

Use spackle! It's not hard to use.
But also, check out this site, I think it might help.

My mom use to use a mixture of flour and water to make a past. She said that worked well they also make all sorts of things in your paint department also.......
