What a wonderful week! I'm so grateful for my family, and I'm truly blessed for what I have. What a wonderful week to remind me of the blessings I have. We had 3 thanksgiving feasts with family and they were all fantastic. I love the time I get to spend with my family. I couldn't ask for a better family. They mean the world to me.
I did black friday shopping and did pretty well for myself and family of course. People get a little to greedy of course. I had a lady literally take a lego box out of my hand because it was the last one on the pallet and I was grabbing it. I just let her have it because I didn't feel my children needed something that much to fight over. She was very greedy and I didn't want it to upset my day. I told my mom about it and she went to her walmart and found the legos. So it all worked out and there was absolutely no need to be greedy. I went to Old Navy after walmart and was able to get my children about $300 worth of clothes for $150. I was pretty excited about that. It was awesome.
My favorite shopping trip was of course walgreens. They practically had everything free and with coupons I made money on a lot of items. My trip was the best one I've ever done. I got $538 worth of stuff for $7.32. BEST DAY EVER. That included 12 bottles of laundry detergent, a bunch of toothpaste that i'm donating, lip gloss, toothbrushes, shave gel, face wash and the list could go on and on. I'm to the point where my husband is finally going to have to buy me shelving. I'm pretty excited to be building my stockpile. It's great to be able to feel the comfort of having enough food and personal needs items if something were to happen. I love to be able to donate as well. I can't always donate money, so this makes me feel better to donate all these items I can get for free with my coupons. Whatever my family doesn't need, I always donate. In fact, I took my neighbor a little bag with 2 tubes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, body spray, and lip gloss. She was so excited. I love being able to share.
Until Next time......
Spending time with family is truly a blessing. I think donating items is a very thoughtful thing to do. Without people donatiog items a lot of famlies would be without Christmas. Great job on your topic enjoyed reading it. Have a wonderful Christmas.
