Freebies & Thoughts

I thought I'd post a couple things that you can get for free with coupons this week.  Today I got 2 free SOBE lifewater's at CVS. They are on sale, BOGO (Buy One Get One) and you can play a game at sobe.com to get a BOGO coupon to print out. This makes 2 waters free!

CVS also has Stride Shift Gum .99 and you can .99 ECB, making it free after Extra Care Bucks.  There was also a coupon from a May newspaper insert that was for Free Stride Shift Gum when you buy any Stride Gum which makes it an even better deal if you have this coupon saved.

Food lion has Nestle Nesquick for $1 this week.  You can print off a $1 coupon here,  making it free!


These are the only things I have found free this week.  You can go to ourcouponhome.com to find other coupon deals.


Thought for the day:

I have been reading the book "The Walk" by Richard Evans. One paragraph really stuck out to me, it says "The thing is, the only real sign of life is growth.  And growth requires pain.  So to choose life is to accept pain.  Some people go to such lengths to avoid pain that they give up on life.  They bury their hearts, or they drug or drink themselves numb until they don't feel anything anymore.  The irony is, in the end their escape becomes more painful than what they're avoiding."

This is so true! If everything were to always be perfect than we wouldn't grow or learn anything.  Although at times it's hard to feel like our troubles will ever get any better, at least we can look down the road and know that we will grow from the pain we are in now.

And finally, my current favorite Christian song:

Spring

Spring is finally here and I'm so glad. I was getting real tired of seeing it snow. But with the warmth of Spring disappointment was also brought in. My boyfriend and I broke up earlier this week so I have been really down. I ended up getting sick on Wednesday and can't get rid of this awful cold. So since I'm stuck at home trying to get to feeling better so I finally have time to update my blog.

This week is triple coupon week at Harris Teeter. I got $25 dollars of groceries for .33 cent the first day and got a $1.50 coupon back for my next order. The next day I got another $25 dollars of groceries for .25 cents. Thats been about the only nice thing about this week.

Several people have asked me holding a coupon workshop so I will probably have one in May. Let me know what kind of questions you have so I can prepare.

The song "I breathe in, I breathe out" explains how I feel right now. There is nothing worse than loving someone who doesn't love you back, especially when you truly believe that ya'll were meant to be. But I know God has been watching over me this week and I'm so thankful for that.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
