SHOPPING!!

Ok so yesterday I went shopping! We hit three different stores all before lunch and I saved so much money!! Seriously if you have not started using coupons yet then this is your weekend to try. Just listen to all of my great savings!

First I went to Walgreens where I spent $8.46 but I saved $33.66 matching my coupons to sales and using my Register Rewards from my last trip. Just look at at the great stuff I bought!!

Then it was on to Rite Aid. Now remember how I got $15 worth of +UP well I walked out of there only spending $1.43 plus I will get back $4.60 in rebates! I even scored a Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair that was on clearance marked down to $2.49 which I had a $1 off coupon for woohoo! I got two free wipes refill packs plus free toothpaste on that trip. My total savings between sales and coupons was $23.36!! Look at this!

Last but not least I hit up the commissary. I had some WIC shopping to do (WIC stands for Women, Infant & Children). I also just so happened to have a few coupons that were getting ready to expire plus a few to match up to the sales that ended yesterday. No pictures to share sorry but I will tell you what I got. The prices I am posting reflect the after coupon amount.
  1. 2 boxes of Cheerios $0.91 each
  2. 2 boxes of Kix Cereal $0.91 each
  3. Total Cereal $0.90
  4. 2 big boxes of Special K Red Berries $2.49 each
  5. Special K cereal bar $1 Now the kicker to these three is I am getting a rebate card back for $5! So all three Special K items in the end will have only cost me $0.98!!
  6. 2 Quaker Chewy Granola bar $2.11 each
  7. 3 15 oz cans Hunts Tomato Sauce $0.54 each
  8. Clorox Bleach $1.25
  9. Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage patties $1.25
  10. Triaminic Fever Reducer $2.60
  11. 2 Ban Deodorant $0.31 each
My total out of pocket after it was all said and done was $24.43 I saved $14.37 which was 38% of my total before coupons. Not all of my deals were awesome but I am one very happy lady!

Gluttony

My Disclaimer: I am not without sin! I will probably hurt your feelings and I will definitely make you think. This is what God laid on my heart to write and I did the best I could. I hope it touches you and I hope you share it, no matter how it makes you feel. Thank you for reading and well enjoy as always. "Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything." 1 Corinthians 6:12 " So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 Gluttony is a sin, the sin of gorging ones self, it is THE sin that can quite literally result in death. Yet it is also a sin that is rarely approached from the pulpit. In my 25 years as a Christian I have actually only heard it addressed once in a sermon and it was brief. Now I am not knocking Pastors after all they have a multitude of other matters to preach on. I do wonder somet

Craziest most wonderful May day ever!

                                                              Oh my GOD Brent came home!!!

On Sunday May 1st I had plans to take my crew to Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh, NC with a friend and her three kids. I got up early and got all ready to go before getting the kids up and at 'em. Getting Kady out of bed ended with her in the tub and me needing a change of clothes. She had a major diaper blow out all over herself, the crib and a odd handful of toys including two Bitty Baby's and a stuffed musical Lumpy. Yet somehow I managed to get the mess cleaned up along with Kady and myself and everyone fed breakfast. When it was time to leave I had to throw the cover over Brent's bike. He had told me on Friday evening  that one of his co-workers needed to leave some stuff he had shipped over at our house and to leave the key under the bike cover. I thought
