Tonight was dinner and prayer at our church, we all went there for dinner and the lady that was fixing dinner packed up all the extras for us to take home! It should cover dinner for 2 nights. She also had an extra gallon of milk and one dozen eggs.
Also, I went and cashed in my Thank you Points. So, I have a $25.00 Visa Gift Card coming. I will save it for upcoming needs.
I also got a $10.00 refund check in the mail and $1.00 for a survey in the mail today.
I am still in shock, but okay. Thank you for the kind emails and support. I am going to go out tomorrow night and do a bit of shopping. I have some free item coupons that expire at the end of the month (saturday) so I want to use them up before they expire. I wil not spend much, I am watching every penny!
I sat down and reworked out budget. I have enough money to cover the next 2 months. So, right now, the only worry is no health insurance.
KEEP BEING FRUGAL!!!

Getting bargins!!
I just wanted to share my thoughts on getting a good deal.
1. Good deals are only good if you do it honestly. Don't try to use a coupon or a deal that is known to be fraudulent. We all make mistakes, but by knowingly getting a fradulent deal, you are ruining the repuations of couponers everywhere!
2. Stockpiling. It's great to stockpile, but if you buy 40 toothpastes and leave none for other couponers, you are being selfish. When I stockpile, I buy what I can use for 6 to 9 months ( a typical sale cycle), if I end up getting more then I can use, I donate the items to the homeless shelter, the food pantry, our local church or the animal shelter. Share and give, don't be SCROOGE!!
3. Be Polite. When I get in line at the store, with a fist full of coupons, I will let the poor guy behind me go if he has only 2 things in his hands. Remember this is a hobby and a savings, again, you can easily ruin the perspective of the people you are trying to win over to saving money!!
