CouponMom.com

Couponmom.com  is our favorite website to find extraordinary deals. You have to create an account, but it's free. Deals are listed by store and state. This link explains how to coupon.

We print out the best deals for the stores we plan on going to. Then we circle the deals we're interested in, gather and print any coupons we need, and make notes for any cash back offers.























We only cut out the coupons we plan to use. We leave the rest in the flyer. We put them in a folder sorted by date so we can easily find the coupons we need.

Collection Drive on August 4th and Delivery to CCUMC

We had a really good collection drive on 8/4 to take to the Feed My Sheep Food Pantry at CCUMC and the Smithfield Rescue Mission. 

 I would like to thank all of these people who gave food donations to us for this drive as Freya, Adia and I are working towards our Girl Scout Silver Award.

Thank to:
Margaret Skellie                                 Roger and Gloria Radford
Lincoln Parrish                                   Angela Ponzini
Chami Garver                                    Girls in Girl Scout Troop 1172 

Here are the items we donated to the CCUMC Food Pantry (Adia was not able to make the collection drive but she dropped off her goods early!):
  


Here is a photo of us delivering it to the church:


It really feels good to be able to provide so much food to local people in need.  We will deliver the Smithfield Rescue Mission items later this week.  I will post about that once we deliver those items.
