Coupon Savings

MommyInChief — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:28:05 +0000

I recently started couponing again. I have been learning the Coupon Mom system of saving and it has been paying off. We are working on reducing our grocery bill, contributing regularly to our local food bank and supporting our country’s troops.

I have also learned a lot from several different websites like Coupon Cravings, Deal Seeking Mom and many others that I will link to later.

Here is a my latest shopping trip at Harris Teeters. With sales and triple coupons, I was able to get these groceries for $3.24. Most of the items were free, one was $1.00 and the others were under $.40 each.

Cheerios
Spray & Wash (2)
Mt. Olive Relish
Mahatma rice (6)
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner (3)
Yakisoba noodles (3)
Wacky Mac
Welch’s grape jelly (2)
Sure deodorant (2)

Write the vision…make it plain

As mentioned in my previous post, the theme for my goal setting this year (and every year for that matter) is Luke 2:52. Being the visual person that I am, I like to have everything (”the vision”) written out so that I can run with it.

I have been feverishly working on putting together my goals 2009 notebook. Every morning for the last few days I have looked forward to working on it and today it’s pretty much completed except I need to add my checklists so I can monitor my progress.

It came as a revelation to me during this process that most of my goals are really habits that I need to establish or break in different areas of my life. They don’t really have an ending point, and these habits/goals are something I am going to work on again and again and the due date is ASAP.

I also realized that my overarching goal is to see myself how God sees me. Yes I have weaknesses, but when I look at myself from His perspective I can have an expectation that negative things I have participated in are going to drop off as I become more in union with Him. He loves me and has great plans for me, so I can accept myself. If He accepts me, I accept me. I can “allow His power to transform my weaknesses, rather than belittling myself when I make a mistake” – Myles Munroe.

So…I am uber excited about 2009 and I am planning to blog about it on a regular basis…that’s one of the habits I want to implement.
