Give Thanks: Day 19 - Coupons

We are thankful for coupons. We fell away from couponing around the time we were moving. We were just so busy that we could barely keep with the day of the week, little less the circulars and match-ups. Since being settled, we recently decided it was time to dive back in. Thanks to couponing we currently have a full pantry and cabinets. Our fridge and freezer are loaded. It was easy to decide what to eat for supper tonight. It was the family size tray of lasagna we got today that we didn't have any room for in the fridge! We also recently made a HUGE dent in our Christmas shopping. With coupons, we were able to buy $102 worth of great name brand toys for our boys for only $28. We have friends who coupon to help charities. They donate items that they get and don't use to those in need. That is a great ministry in itself. It proves that couponing isn't for hoarders, it's for people who want to make a difference for their families and in their communities. It's not easy. It takes time and dedication, but the rewards are worth it.
