More Holiness Give Me: Pucker up, Baby!

Pucker up, Baby!

It worked! I had my first ever super successful couponing transaction! Hallelujah! (is it bad to say that?) That is how I felt! I could see how this can become a new way of life fast! Once you've worked hard to save that money you aren't going to want to spend it frivolously else where!

Okay- Here is how it went down. Walgreen's is besoming my new best friend.

I read these coupon queen blogs and I used 2 coupons I printed off (the blogs tell you exactly where to get everything) and I bought two containers of chap stick that I have never before used in my life (but for free what the heck, right?) So each chap stick was $5.49 but when you buy two they were $8 total. Then I used two coupons for $3 off each which brought my total down and with tax it was $2.48. So yes, it cost me $2.48. But then the cash register shot me out something called Register Rewards (RR) and it was for 3 dollars. So you use it just like cash. So technically I earned money! Awesome, huh?! So with all the money I am going to save I can send my kidlets to ski club with their Neosporin Lip Health chap sticks and they will be good to go!

Megan said...: Good Job! I've been couponing for awhile now and I couldn't survive without it. I don't go all out like some of those coupon queens but I save quite a bit of money. The easiest way to save money is to make sure you're shopping the sales at each grocery store and using coupons only for stuff you actually use. I'll use different brands but I'm not going to buy something just because I have a coupon for it! Plan your meals around what's on sale (I usually start with the meat). Sometimes it's hard going to Albertsons and Smiths and Walgreens and Waremart and Walmart, but it is worth it in the end. That's why people say it's like having a part time job!

Amanda said...: Yeah!! I'm so proud of you! Transactions like these are the ones you should get started with, because they usually go well no problem! Keep up the great work! I also wrote you back on my blog about the question you posted. Feel free to ask me anything or any confusion you may have :); January 6, 2010 at 3:14 PM

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time. The women of God know this. --Neal A. Maxwell

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
