Not to mention EXPENSIVE theme parks like Sea World and Disney....we've never been to Disney--and went to Sea World for less than 1/2 price w/ coupons. I thank you and a few other friends for changing me into "coupon mama." My DH has even been caught looking for and using coupons. I am not as savvy as you yet, but have been proud to save almost 50% on most of my grocery shopping trips the last month or so. Price matching, double coupons, and extra incentives, plus discount gas adds up. Lately, I've been signing up at KLOVE, won some Christian CD's, and signed up for contests on local radio and TV websites--I won 2 tkts to a Culinary Festival at a tony resort ($75/per tkt)--nice free fancy date night, a $50 gift card to a gym, as well as a Smithsonian DVD......Angela S. in Tucsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150161980638649962.post-69917957096737226212010-11-09T08:01:42.172-08:002010-11-09T08:01:42.172-08:00I have to say that since I started reading your bl...I have to say that since I started reading your blog I have become coupon crazy and just yesterday I had $17 worth of coupons off my purchases at Wal-Mart, I love it! It really makes a difference and anything lavish has lost its value or need. Thank you for all your helpful tips and the encouragement, it makes the difference in my days.<br />Thanks, you are the best and I thank God that I had you as a camp counselor many moons ago...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150161980638649962.post-22826651959710108442010-11-08T14:30:44.099-08:002010-11-08T14:30:44.099-08:00Hmmm. . .I keep getting slammed on this subject! I...Hmmm. . .I keep getting slammed on this subject! I guess I'm just thick-headed! Our hours keep getting shorted at work and God reminds me again (graciously) that HE is my provider, not Port Huron Hospital. Some weeks He reminds me daily. . .grrr! I don't like learning this way! I don't like handing over the control because of course I can do it better while I get an ulcer and take 10 years off my life by worrying! The message Saturday night was about "extra grace relationships" or EGR's; talked about those in your life that you'd really rather not deal with. God poked me in the back to tell me that maybe I'm one of those to Him; why can't I just be thankful for what He's given me instead of being jealous of what He's given to others. Just a few reflections on your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150161980638649962.post-83957736680524878682010-11-08T14:29:19.599-08:002010-11-08T14:29:19.599-08:00Dastardly whole milk...nearly as addictive as hero...Dastardly whole milk...nearly as addictive as heroine, I hear:).
