Yesterday I saved $17.50 on just 4 or 5 items thanks to the "up to 3 coupons per item" policy at our grocery store. I got a huge pack of toilet paper for $1.49, $8 off one box of diapers with a free jumbo pack of wipes that I earned $1 by buying because I had a coupon for the free item as well. The savings swept a feeling of intense pleasure over me and I thought, wow, I need some excitement in my life. But hey, that was exciting enough for me for one day. I feel silly sometimes with how excited I get over true savings, not the gimmick savings that con you into buying things you wouldn't normally purchase, but savings on things you actually use or need. It's such a simple and rewarding way of doing what I can to be a good steward with what I've been given. Now if I could just remember to always bring along my coupon wallet and monitor expiration dates.....that would definitely help.

About Me

My photo
This blog is my hope to somehow capture moments that would have otherwise passed unnoticed, gone by simply dismissed as mundane life. I'm just a girl who adores her husband, I love the job I get paid for and am inspired by the ones I don't. I love that God has designed my life as a perfect fit for me and today I get to live it!
